**148 Apps - 9/10 "Virtually every aspect of Organ Trail: Director’s Cut oozes style and cleverness."**

**Jay Is Games - "Organ Trail: Director's Cut is a quirky, darkly humorous, and off-beat love letter to retro gaming."**

Beat the game on suicide level but it freezes
     
by OCOtters2004 · August 26, 2022

So I have beaten the game multiple times now on Suicide level and told enter Safe Haven. However my game won’t move past it- very disappointing.

Good game but one glitch
     
by Wyattreadet · July 1, 2022

This game is amazing and can be play multiple time without being bored. It takes awhile but that what fun about it. If you play on normal hard or expert mode it will glitch not letting you get your win making it some what upsetting.

Got Softlocked After Winning Boss Fight
     
by Jared_G. · January 10, 2025

I enjoyed my trip down memory lane playing this old classic, but the title says it all. I fought the squid boss with my car at 1hp and won, only to get softlocked at the “You enter Safe Haven” screen. So I had to beat the squid again, without getting hit once, and this time it let me through. The ending is just: (spoilers, kinda) “You made it! Your Score is: x” …and that’s it. Forgot how anticlimactic this game is.

Good but..

Played on iPhone 13, I beat the game with all characters and it froze before getting in “safe haven” so I didn’t unlock anything waste of time I’m just gonna request a refund I feel cheated on a otherwise great game not gonna continue to play if it doesn’t work the way it should.

Genuine Classic.

I remember finding this game when I was still in middle school and it’s stayed on my phone ever since. This game is one of the last few things in the App Store that isn’t plagued with scam ads every second. While I love this game with all my heart and know the devs worked on this game for so, so long, I can’t help but feel it’s been kind of left to rot. Honestly, I would happily shell out more money for a DLC if it meant there’d be more little side stories, events on the road, maybe even an alternate ending in the game.

The Director’s Cut is top tier: expansions are broken
     
by jackalad · February 19, 2025

This game has always had a special place in my heart. I used to sit in the back seat of my dad’s pathfinder during roadtrips and pretend I was on the road to Safe Haven, dodging death and zombies. I HIGHLY recommend it, as its great fun and, imo, a vast improvement on Oregon Trail. Now, the expansions are also great. I particularly love the Clement’s Quest mini game. Problem is, on the phone they cause a particular game breaking glitch. The expansion includes a bonus boss battle after the final gas run and after said boss battle, there’s a final screen: “You make it to safe haven” BUT the game soft-crashes and you're trapped looking at the final screen. If you restart, you’re forced to battle the boss again. If you lose, well, that’s just frustrating, but if you win, after fighting the boss twice, you get a victory screen, yes, but all the points you’d receive for your trip (stock-piled supplies, miles driven, etc.) are null and void. The game only registers the base score. I suppose if you’re okay with fighting the boss twice and not getting a score at the end, the expansions are otherwise glitch free, but I enjoy winning once and getting a score. Expansions work great on PC tho (to include a two player mode where your friends can play as a dog), so I just keep it base game on my phone for trips and such, and play with all the extra frills on pc.

Beautiful
     
by rickgfhdh · May 22, 2024

I love this game to death. The concept, the gameplay, the music, the barebones story, it’s perfect. It gives you just enough detail to help you understand the world, but there’s no real story besides the basic goal of reaching Safe Haven. The music is just beautiful. It holds a sort of hopeless hope in it with each track, that there’s some light at the nonexistent end of the tunnel. This game is a masterclass of a parody that just oozes with creativity and uniqueness. I genuinely hope one day someone makes a video about this game and it becomes known for the masterpiece it is.

Great game
