So an indie game like 'The Path' intrigues me greatly! Has anyone here tried it? How large do you think this sort of Gothic genre is, because whenever I go to EB Games, I never see anything similar to The Path.

BUY IT NOW! There's no dialogue and barely any story, but there is no other game on earth like it. It's something to sit down and play for about 15 minutes at a time and just get lost in the atmosphere it creates.
I tried to play the prologue, but my computer can't take it. It's the day I'm wishing for a gaming laptop.
I'm guessing you have it? How replayable is it??? How much of the game have you uncovered???A velociraptor said:
D= Whoa. What year did you get yours in? My lappy is nearly three years old.Random argument man said:
It's a Macbook and it's 3 years old. It slowed down lately. Somehow, it couldn't play the prologue.lyfeindeyth said:
Note* I bought that laptop for university. Someday, i'll buy a gaming laptop.
An amazing game, but VERY MUCH into the 'art game' end of the spectrum. If you ever played Braid and thought it was even the least bit pretentious or a bit too artsy, The Path is not for you.
What was that other game, where a woman just walked towards another bench while some Eastern European music played?Mansur said:
Little Red Riding Hood. It looks really good, I've been meaning to buy it for ages. I just sort of haven't.DuplicateValue said:
I recommend American McGee's Alice if you can get hold of it.
Having bought this game a few days after it came out, I can confirm to everyone that it's utterly dreadful.
It's so slow, so dull, so utterly mundane that I'd have difficulty recommending it to anyone. It was hardly worth the seven quid I spend on it. I'd talk more about it, but practically anything that the game description doesn't tell you would probably count as a spoiler. (PM me if you'd like to know more, though!)
As I understand it though, it's one of those games that everyone has a different experience with - I believe there's a demo available on Steam, which was made available a few months after release - check that out, see what you think of it, and make your purchase based on that - but I've not spoken to a single person with an opinion I trust wholeheartedly that didn't think the same as me.

I loved it, though i raged after i talked to my friend who showed me about it, figuring out there was a run key and i had walked all the way to grandmas home instead of running, but oh well, the atmosphere was excellent
I'll play the trial. Pay $5 for the extra possibility of death within the game? Er, no thank you.lyfeindeyth said:Maybe try 'The Graveyard'?
