A Trail Tale is an interactive trail journal that lets users virtually hike the Appalachian Trail through beautiful pixel art. Created by Andy Moliski and his brothers Adam and Alex, the project is inspired by the classic Oregon Trail but focuses on the outdoor hiking experience without the survival game elements.
Background
The Appalachian Trail is a 2,190-mile hiking trail spanning 14 eastern US states, popular among thru-hikers. Interactive digital trail journals have emerged as a way for people to vicariously experience long-distance hiking.
