The Trench takes place on only one map composed of two trenches: a French and a German one separated by No Man’s Land and its surrounding area comprising of forests and villages.
Trenches are made of three lines connected by narrow communication galleries.
You will find shelters, first aid posts, command posts, saps and so on.
This environment is bound to climatic conditions (rain, snow, and storms) as well as the cycle of day and night.
One of the main mechanics is that the game begins 3 days before the German assault on the 21st February 1916. These 3 days will always take place on the same map Firstly, this time will allow you to prepare for the future German assaults. You can request a 75 field gun battery on a precise zone, air support, “coups de main” in the German trench, position foot soldiers in strategic places and more, these 3 days will allow you to approach the battle from a different angle and prepare yourself against the future German attack. This offers the player an important level of replayability.
At the beginning of the development The Trench was 50% FPS / 50% RPG. The Trench is now mainly a FPS with a small part of RPG. The realistic mode is still there, it is now included in the 4 choices of difficulty (easy, normal, realistic and customized mode). The ability to infiltrate and cover will be developed as part of the FPS mode.
The RPG element of this game involves an inventory system to store your items, Being able to communicate with NPC’s and also secondary missions, characteristics for the equipment as well as the customization of some weapons , for example : adding an APX scope to the Lebel, Placement of Filloux cannons etc..

I HOPE this will be finished before i die
i remember stumbling on this on a cold day in november 2011. back then it was still known as prophecy ressurection. the whole website was in french but i was totally enthralled by the images that they were producing and the description that they had given the game. i was seriously grappling with pre-ordering the game because i wanted my name to be in the credits (was a new idea at the time) but i worked a minimum wage job and didnt have money to throw around, so i decided id wait for the full release to buy it, which at the time, was said to be november 2012. i was 16 years old. i am now 27 years old. the game still has not yet be released.
Je me souviens être tombé dessus par une froide journée de novembre 2011. À l'époque, c'était encore connu sous le nom de résurrection de la prophétie. tout le site était en français mais j'ai été totalement captivé par les images qu'ils produisaient et la description qu'ils avaient faite du jeu. J'étais sérieusement aux prises avec la pré-commande du jeu parce que je voulais que mon nom soit au générique (c'était une nouvelle idée à l'époque) mais j'ai travaillé au salaire minimum et je n'avais pas d'argent à dépenser, alors j'ai décidé d'attendre la version complète pour l'acheter, qui à l'époque, était censée être novembre 2012. j'avais 16 ans. j'ai maintenant 27 ans. le jeu n'est toujours pas sorti.
