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

Adore this game, Beautiful music, beautiful design. For someone with an extremely low attention span, I'm surprised by how eager I was to open this game again given how slow it is, but its just a perfect combination of things to me

This review is several years late, lol, but I wanted to say that even today, in 2025, this is still one of my favorite games. Something about the atmosphere, the music, and the completely free-to-interpret outcomes of the girls' stories really spoke to me way back when this was huge on YouTube, and even now, all this time later.
Make no mistake, this is a walking simulator with some BIZARRE controls. Things aren't fully explained to you; there's no tutorial. You get some controls explanations, but there are not really any cut scenes, either. You're left to stumble through and try to figure out exactly what it is you're supposed to do, and then what it is the game's trying to tell you (if anything).
Each girl has her own personality, her own items to be found in her forest, and her own special "fields", which you can find by following bright lights. Each girl has a wolf, which you can interpret in different ways, either literally or figuratively. Do you walk all the way to Grandma's house, like a good girl? Or do you go off, find your wolf, and most likely die? And really, HOW do you die?
Grandma's house changes at the end depending on what you decide and choose. Do you see the wolf? Do you find the items and then go see Grandma instead? Up to you.
I played one Path for three hours. I've played through a couple different Paths at different times since first buying this game, but I'm enjoying giving this a little more time, now that I'm older and have different thoughts in my head.
Also, don't rely on running too much. The camera tilts. You want to kind of release the sprint occasionally, because if you run too long, the screen darkens, the camera gets obscured, and you can't see certain things until you let your character breathe again.
