Art of Game: The Path
I celebrated the Indie game sale on Steam this week by purchasing The Path, a game by Tale of Tales. The game is a short “horror” game adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood, very much intended for adults. It’s a very immersive game from the beginning which is good because the game also plays out rather slowly. This is a game that tells a story, not some mindless run and gun shooter. There’s lots of subtlety and parts of the story are left up to your imagination. The artwork is amazing and really draws you in. The game also encourages not following instructions. The first thing it tells you to do is to stay on the path. If you do, however, you will be greeted with an instant failure and will have to start over. I recommend anyone that enjoys a good twisted tale to check the game out. Considering that it’s about the cost of a movie ticket, I don’t think anyone should pass this up.
