hey call us the Red Girls. But we do have names.
They send us to grandmother. She's always sick.
They tell us to stay on the path.
As if we don't have anything better to do.

"The forest looks gloomy and foreboding..."
- We know.
"The wolves are waiting there for you."
- We know.
"Don't go, little girls. It will lead to ruin!"
- We know!
- We know!
- We know!


The Path is a short horror game with a unique form of gameplay, designed to immerse you deeply into the dark themes of its story. Every interaction in the game expresses an aspect of the narrative.

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

The Path features a continuous soundtrack composed by Jarboe and mixed in real time through in-game activity.


"Come, Little Red-Cap, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good. Set out before it gets hot, and when you are going, walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path, or you may fall and break the bottle, and then your grandmother will get nothing!"

Carmen.
Introducing: Rose. Rose is mature for her age. But there is a certain air of innocence about her that is charming and disconcerting at the same time. Barely a teenager -Rose is eleven-, she is discovering the world around her with fresh eyes. And all is beautiful! The wind in the trees, the birds in the air, the flowers along the path. Rose is taking it in voraciously. So much so that she will defend even nature's smallest creatures against anyone who might wish them harm.
But who will protect sweet Rose herself, when she is lured off the path? With a promise of unearthly bliss, of light in abundance where no sun will ever shine? You're just a little girl, Rose! Just a fragile little girl...
