The teenagers are instructed to go to grandmother's house deep in the forest and, by all means, to stay on the path! Wolves are hiding in the woods, just waiting for little girls to stray. <br/><br/> But young women are not exactly known for their obedience, are they? Will they be able to resist the temptations of the forest? Will they stay clear of danger? Can they prevent the ancient tale from being retold? <br/><br/> The Path is a game about growing, about changing, about making choices, about accepting the consequences of these choices. A game about playing, and failing, about embracing life, perhaps by accepting death. 560 false true The Path $9.99 14 2009-03-01 7 the-path 2009-11-20T15:04:57+00:00 2 Custom custom 2008-03-24T03:53:58+00:00 Tale of Tales BVBA is a games development studio, founded by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn in Belgium in 2002. "The purpose of Tale of Tales is to create elegant and emotionally rich interactive entertainment. We explicitly want to cater to people who are not enchanted by most contemporary computer games, or who wouldn’t mind more variety in their gameplay experiences. For this purpose, all of our products feature innovative forms of interaction, engaging poetic narratives and simple controls." 25 560 25 /usr/home/tigsource/db/public/company/image/25/dev-taleoftales.png Tale of Tales tale-of-tales 2008-03-24T03:53:58+00:00 This is an atmospheric exploration game, although, like Yume Nikki and unlike atmospheric exploration games like Knytt or Seiklus, it's just as much an exploration of character than of environments. Basically, if you liked Yume Nikki, you'll probably like this game; if you hated that, you'd hate this. This is probably their most ambitious game; a lot of people who were put off from Tale of Tales by The Graveyard or Endless Forest nonetheless liked this game, so I recommend trying it even if you didn't like those. A few hints to make the game more enjoyable: you know those weird things on the sides of the screen? They have a navigational use, don't just write them off as weird stylistic visual artifacts. They'll make getting through the game much easier. There are many different interpretations of the game, but the one I favor was stated by Patrick Dugan in his PlayThisThing review: that *you* are the wolf. You're leading the girls to their deaths, you are causing them to stray off the path, so basically the player operates and takes the role of the wolf, even though the player "controls" the girls. 2009-04-02T00:43:57+00:00 0 560 426 67.83.42.33 5
