About the game

There is one rule in the game. And it needs to be broken. There is one goal. And when you attain it, you die.

    Semi-obscure gem. Changed my media tastes forever as my first ever game as a kid. Excellent soundtrack because of course, it's Jarboe. Dripping with atmosphere, unforgettable. If it's up your alley it's a project so worth the couple hours it takes to complete it. For a rainy day when you want contemplative media.

    The Path is hard to recommend, not only because it isn't really a Video Game in the traditional sense, but because I'd argue that even on its own merits and standards it is intentionally obtuse and demands a lot of time and patience than is reasonable for a lot of people. The fact that The Path is a walking sim isn't the problem - they can be fun in their own right and I myself have a lot of fun just exploring…
