The Path
is a short horror game you can get from Tale Of Tales for 10 bucks.
That's not bad. It was about 5 hours long for me. The first thing I
noticed when I saw the path for the first time was how much it reminded
me of Rule OF Rose. The path has style, super style, it's super highly
stylized with the art it employs! In other words it looks awesome!!!
It's a game about little red riding hood and the rule of the game is
that you have to stay on the path and go to grandmother's house. There
are six little red riding hoods in the game, and in order to get the
most effect out of the game you have to break that rule and go off
exploring into the forest each one. While you explore the forest
there's a creepy and sometimes ambient soundtrack playing that totally
rules. After exploring for a while you find different objects that
you can interact with that may or may not have something to do with a
murder at least that's what I think, but eventually you run into an
area which I think is specific for each little red riding hood. IN that
area you meet a version of the big bad wolf and then die gruesomely!!!
It's the only game I've ever played where the objective is to die
instead of the other way around. Then your ghost goes to grandmother's
house, and as you make your way through it you end up seeing images of
how you died I guess. My favorite character is Robin, and you'll see
why if you play the game. Anyway the game is pretty subjective. Maybe
none of the little red riding hoods died and there wasn't a murder and
there's no big bad wolf, or maybe there is and all the red riding hoods
die. I think it's down to the player to decide. Anyway, that's probably
the point to wander and wonder around a creepy, stylized, sick looking
forest with awesome music and sound effects. At least that's what I
think the point is anyway.
