The Demoman: The Path

This week the Demoman turns his steely, one-eyed gaze on the demo of The Path, the indie art-horror game based on fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Your goal is to reach grandmother's house, and the instructions are simple: stay on the path. Naturally, no one is going to stay on the path, since no one wants to visit their grandmother, because she's boring, she smells kind of funny, and she doesn't even have an Xbox.

It's simple to play: just steer a young woman around, and if you see something you'd like to interact with, stop controlling her and see what she does. For instance, as I start wandering around, a bird lands near me. I lay off the controls and a moment later the young woman chases the bird, which flies away. Another example of interaction comes some two hours later when I turn the game off in anger because that bird is about the only goddamn thing there is in the demo to interact with. Read more »
