## Overview

Career resume landing page in Oregon Trail retro game style. Ideal for currículos criativos, portfólios de desenvolvedores, páginas pessoais, apresentações de carreira. AI-ready template. Oregon Trail isn't just a game — it's a shared cultural memory for an entire generation of computer users. Released in 1971 and popularized through school computer labs in the 80s and 90s, it became the first video game most Americans ever played. The green-and-black pixel art, the brutal decision-making, the infamous dysentery — these aren't just nostalgia triggers, they're a universal language.

What makes the Oregon Trail metaphor work so well for resumes and portfolios is that it reframes a career as a journey with real stakes. You forded rivers (pivoted careers), lost oxen (failed projects), and somehow made it to Oregon (landed the role). The trail format gives narrative structure to what's usually a flat, lifeless document. It turns a list of jobs into a story of survival and progress.

Gamers-turned-developers immediately get it. Recruiters who grew up with it get it too. That's rare overlap, and it's worth exploiting.

## AI Visual Direction

Design a career resume landing page in Oregon Trail retro game style. Show career milestones as stops along a trail/path that scrolls horizontally or vertically. Use pixel art aesthetic, earth-tone colors (brown, green, tan), retro terminal typography. Include a winding trail connecting career milestones, pixel wagon/character, 8-bit progress bars for skills, and retro game UI elements like health bars and inventory slots for achievements. Each career milestone should look like a trail stop with date and description.

## CSS Technical

```css
image-rendering: pixelated, font-family: 'Press Start 2P' or 'VT323' monospace, background: layered parallax with earth tones, border: 3px solid #8B4513 for retro frames, clip-path or SVG path for winding trail, animation: scroll-trail for path movement, box-shadow: 4px 4px 0 #000 for pixel depth
```

## Design System Variables

```css
--pixel-size: 4px, --trail-color: #8B4513, --prairie-green: #556B2F, --font-retro: 'Press Start 2P', --path-width: 8px, --milestone-size: 48px, --parallax-layers: 3, --pixel-shadow: 4px 4px 0 #000

## Implementation Checklist

## Execution Rules

1. Strictly follow the defined visual style.
2. Use high-quality inline SVG icons (Heroicons or Lucide style) — NEVER use emojis as icons.
3. Add `cursor-pointer` and smooth `hover` states (transition-all) on all interactive elements.
4. Required Page Structure:
   - Navbar (Logo + Links + CTA)
   - Hero Section (Impactful Headline + Subtitle + 2 buttons + 3D/Abstract visual element via CSS)
   - Features (3 cards with icons)
   - Testimonials (3 cards)
   - Pricing (3 tiers, highlight the middle one)
   - Final CTA
   - Full Footer with social links, privacy policy, terms of use, contact and SEO links.
5. All text content must be in English.
6. The visual must be CLEARLY distinct — do not create a "default Bootstrap" design. Force the use of the provided design system variables.
7. Use `<style>` tags in the head for custom classes (especially for complex backdrop-filter effects and animations) that Tailwind CDN doesn't cover.
8. Full Responsiveness: Layout must adapt perfectly to Mobile, Tablet and Desktop (vertical stack on mobile).
9. Include basic SEO, Viewport and Open Graph meta tags in `<head>`.
10. Footer must contain: Copyright 2026, Secondary navigation links and Social media icons.
11. Make the creative decisions needed to deliver the complete, functional result now.
