The Path

by Alex McLarty

From Brains:

I sing in praise of The Path, a game that realizes – if only in fleeting brilliant flashes – the personal, expressive interactive storytelling experience video games have long aspired to communicate. The Path may not take us all the way to the promised land, but I believe it represents a small milestone in the evolution of an art form that thankfully continues to attract visionaries, naysayers, contrarians, and all manner of headstrong game makers who won’t take yes for an answer.

From what I can see The Path is a short horror story, based around Little Red Riding Hood. I’m imagining loss of innocence, a red and black colour scheme, and some Lynch type weirdness.

And the good news:

All hail Transgaming, masters of Mac gaming.

    I just finished playing through The Path this weekend, and started writing up some thoughts. Are you guys planning to do up a review?

    Excellent. It seems to leave a lot of room for interpretation, so I’m interested in what you guys have to say. Ciao.
