Overview
Description

The Path is a psychological horror art game that reimagines the classic Little Red Riding Hood story in a contemporary, surreal setting. Players choose one of six sisters and decide whether to stay on the prescribed path or wander into the forest, where hidden wolves await. The game blends exploration, narrative interaction, and atmospheric first‑person sequences, offering multiple endings that change based on the player’s choices and encounters with the wolf. Its minimalist controls and symbolic objects create a deeply immersive, unsettling experience.

Through the Woods is a third‑person psychological horror adventure that follows a mother recounting the disappearance of her son in a remote Norwegian forest. The game weaves Norse mythology and folk tales into a tense, atmospheric experience. Dynamic narration drives the story forward, letting players piece together fragmented memories while exploring a richly detailed, eerie woodland environment. It is a single‑player, story‑driven title designed for fans of narrative horror.
