What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“​Aware of the challenges inherent in developing story driven games, I aim to deliver this project in its best possible form as a solo developer. I welcome support in every sense during this journey. Technically, the support and feedback I receive from players will be invaluable for all necessary improvements. My hope is that this won't just remain a local story much like the events the game focuses on but will evolve into a full release shaped by global community support. I aspire to create a game where players from all around the world can find a piece of themselves within this story.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan for the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 5 to 6 months. Depending on the pace of development and community feedback, I aim to release the full version within August 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Technically, we plan to review and resolve all critical bugs and gameplay issues, alongside implementing visual and cinematic improvements. We also intend to refine unit appearances to better reflect their specific cultures. Upon completing the game, players are planned to have the ability to re-select and play individual levels for any additional content added later. Furthermore, we are planning to introduce new content over time, such as new chapters or a mode similar to Tower Defense”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core mechanics, atmosphere, and introductory chapters of the story are fully playable. The complete narrative will be presented in two main parts, with the Early Access version currently featuring the first part. In this version, players can experience trench warfare that reflects the historical atmosphere of Gallipoli and complete the first chapter, which includes both platforming and story elements. The core gameplay loop is established, and while minor technical issues may persist, the game is in a stable and playable state.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“To provide an advantage to players who support us during the Early Access phase, the current price is set lower than the planned full release price. As the development progresses and new chapters, modes, and content are added, we plan to gradually increase the price accordingly.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“As a solo developer, community feedback will be incredibly valuable to me. I actively invite players to use our Steam Discussion forums and social media channels to report bugs, offer suggestions, and share their thoughts on the narrative flow. By meticulously reviewing every piece of feedback, I aim to place the community's voice at the heart of the game on our journey toward the full release.”

About This Game

“War takes everything from us... Yet sometimes, it gives us someone to protect.”

A Forgotten Front. A Lost Child. A Fading Hope.

Gallipoli Trenches: The Forgotten Front is a deeply emotional, story driven 2D adventure set during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. While history focuses on armies, this journey focuses on a single promise: keeping a child alive.

You play as Captain Timur, a weary Ottoman officer serving under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. When you discover a lone surviving child in a devastated village, your mission shifts from fighting a war to guiding a shattered soul through the chaos.

  • A Unique Perspective: Experience the Great War through the eyes of the Ottoman Army. Witness the untold stories of the "other side" of history, inspired by real soldier letters and historical accounts.

  • Protect & Survive: This is not just a war game; it's an escort mission of the heart. Evade enemy patrols, navigate through dangerous gas clouds, and keep the child safe at all costs.

  • Environmental Puzzles: Use your wits to clear paths through destroyed villages and collapsing tunnels. Every puzzle solved brings you one step closer to safety.

  • Cinematic Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in the sun-scorched landscapes of 1915. From the claustrophobic trenches to the majestic Bosphorus mines, experience a unique 2D visual style that brings the era to life.

A Journey Through History

From the sun-scorched cliffs of Gallipoli to the rain-soaked tunnels beneath the front lines, relive one of the most unforgettable moments of the First World War.

Bound by duty and compassion, Captain Timur must guide the girl through the chaos of collapsing trenches, burning hillsides, and shattered souls. Through moments of silence, kindness, and sacrifice, discover that even in war, humanity remains the strongest weapon of all.
