A little bit about 7 Generation Games:
We make video games that make you smarter. Forgotten Trail is an adventure game where your avatar re-traces the Ojibwe migration, when the tribe walked half-way across the continent. If you survive your journey through our virtual worlds, you will have learned social studies, science and real-life math, along with encountering some interesting characters.
After learning how their Ojibwe ancestors walked half-way across the continent, Angie and Sam decide it would be an adventure to follow in their footsteps. No one believes a couple of ordinary teenagers can make it a thousand miles. At each level, there is a new game – canoeing down river to meet an uncle who can help them, scavenging in the woods and avoiding the rabid skunks, making it through a maze set up by yet another crazy relative who has a map.
We fit in the cultural part through flashbacks. If they come across an artifact in the woods, say, a half-buried tomahawk, then a video will play telling the story of a famous chief who owned this tomahawk and what his life was like when he dropped it there.
Stretch goals will fund numerous side quests and Easter eggs (hidden jokes, mini games, videos, and more).
This is the third video game created by 7 Generation Games. Currently, we have users playing our games in 37 states and 7 countries. With the expansion of making this games available on PC, Mac, iPhone, and iPad, the possibilities are endless on how far this game will reach across the globe.
