The Path: A Modern-Day Red Riding Hood

11.09.09

I finally played Tale of Tales’ The Path last night. I’ve been wanting to for months.

The Path is a short computer video game that has been praised a lot for its innovation and subtle horror. It’s not a super-thrilling game; like other people have said, it’s hardly even a real video game in some ways. There’s barely any action and very little interaction/choices. The horror isn’t very explicit. There aren’t really any objectives, other than to explore the woods and find your wolf.
