The Path

Auriea Harvey, Michaël Samyn
2009

The Path is a darkly seductive horror game inspired by older versions of the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale. Created by artists Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn and their game design studio collaborators, this incredibly filmic piece updates the story with six sisters who may individually be chosen to sent on errand to their grandmother's house deep in the forest.

Upon selection, the chosen sister arrives in the forest at the end of a tarmac road and the start of the eponymous path of the title. The only instructions given are to go to grandmother's house and to stay on the path, a rule which of course must be broken to experience the horrors - wolves lurking in the dark, dense audio visual foliage.
