Spoilers ahead, just fyi for anyone reading:
So I booted the game up, made my party, bought supplies, took the doll, and went on my merry way. I went hunting after a while, and shot the hanging person out of curiosity. Umm, I think the doll attacked me after that? I wasn't sure who it was honestly.
Afterwards, I re-loaded and continued on as normal. After the gravestones and the stormy river, my party had a bad feeling and we all died :(
Also the game REALLY wanted me to take the doll. Sadly I couldn't trade it away to someone as far as I could tell.
The jump scare definitely got me because I didn't expect it the first time with my headphones on lol. All in all, it did feel pretty faithful to Oregon Trail. Good job! I'm guessing there is no way to get to the end of the Oregon Trail without dying?
Oh and if you make more games, feel free to hit me up if you need help with beta testing, I love playing other people's games :)
