I've been looking forward to this one for a while, looks really haunting. I hope it gets a release in europe soon, as for theories, it's meant as a metaphor for coming into womanhood isn't it?

each girl from what I've found out has a different back story and personality (IM me if wanna know more) .i think you can only get it on steam lol once you've played though it you'll wanna play though it again because it has a certain mysterious charm to it.

I really wish I could get and play this game but, unfortunately, being broke and having a dinosaur of a computer are bogging me down. It looks like an amazing game from the very little I've seen.
£7 on Steam, and I don't think the PC requirements are high. Seems to be based on a version of the Source engine, although I'm not sure.

Avoid at all costs, it's definitely not a "game". It's just terrible. (Don't really want to spoil what little "plot" there is, so...)

there isn't a ''plot'' because your playing 6 different girls in the game.and there isn't really much of...happy ending?

its more for the experience ( its hard to explain )

if you haven't played this type of genre of game avoid or if you want to try something new and not pay loads of money its worth a try.

its not a terrible game lol its just too different for some people

This is the only game I've ever played that has truly creeped me out. I have no idea why, but walking out into the forest give me a real feeling of 'I shouldn't be here'. Maybe its the pretty damn well done music, or that I just find little 'Gothic' girls in games and films really strange, something about it really strikes something inside me.

Awesome game though, and well worth the money, probably a bit more considering what can be passed as a AAA title and sold for £35+ ( WANTED I'm looking at you )

It's one of those things that you either love, or hate just because it requires a little brain power to understand properly.

Actually, I think I heard that it's available from the developer's website [http://tale-of-tales.com/ThePath/] too, so you may not need Steam after all.

Let me rephrase, "Unfortunately, having absolutely no money and a computer that has a bit of trouble running even Diablo 2 is bogging me down."

^-^
Yeah, I have a shitty comp too :( If only it was on Xbox Live...

Just to clarify - this is a digital release, period. You can get it from "Greenhouse" and "Direct2Drive" and "Steam" - etc. just find the cheapest price and go for it.

So far I have only completed Carmen's "story".

I'm kinda reluctant to talk about this game since I'm afraid of spoiling everything to people.

You can always use spoiler boxes - you must know how to make those, right?

I brought the game the day it came out on Steam myself, I love it personally it is not so much a game but more art, Due to how they use music and images and symbolizing to tell the broken past of each of the girls.

But you have to go into the game realizing it is not a game, But a experience that is unique to you. As each of the girls story allows for many interpretations on what has happened, Which is going to be based on how you viewed what took place with your own viewpoints and thoughts.

It really is a amazing game though, that helps teach important life skills and viewpoints. Many people try to forget about in life.
