Six sisters live in an apartment in the city. One by one their mother sends them on an errand to their grandmother, who is sick and bedridden. The teenagers are instructed to go to grandmother's house deep in the forest and, by all means, to stay on the path! Wolves are hiding in the woods, just waiting for little girls to stray.
But young women are not exactly known for their obedience, are they? Will they be able to resist the temptations of the forest? Will they stay clear of danger? Can they prevent the ancient tale from being retold?
The Path is a game about growing, about changing, about making choices, about accepting the consequences of these choices. A game about playing, and failing, about embracing life, perhaps by accepting death.
What is The Path?
The Path is a short horror game inspired by older versions of Little Red Riding hood, set in modern day. The Path offers an atmospheric experience of exploration, discovery and introspection through a unique form of gameplay, designed to immerse you deeply into its dark themes. Every interaction in the game expresses an aspect of the narrative. The six protagonists each have their own age and personality and allow the player to live through the tale in different ways. Most of the story, however, relies on your active imagination.
The Path is designed with accessibility in mind. There are no ticking clocks or monsters to defeat. No hard puzzles will ever halt your progress. Most activities in the game are entirely optional and voluntary. The player has all the freedom in the world to explore and experience.
While The Path does not contain any graphic violence or sexuality, it does allude to these themes. The overall melancholy mood of the game and the potentially unsettling course of events, make The Path unsuitable for children. Despite of its origins in fairy tales, The Path is decidedly a game for the mature mind.
The game features a complete realtime 3D environment that can be explored through third person navigation. The characters in this virtual world, including the player's avatars, are governed by a form of artificial intelligence that gives them some autonomy. As a result, nobody knows exactly what you will encounter on your journeys.
Next to the multi-layered stylized graphics, The Path features a continuous soundtrack composed by goth rock diva Jarboe (ex-Swans). In fact, there are hardly any sound effects in the game. Instead the music is continuously changing according to what is happening in the game. Like the behaviours of the characters, the music too is never exactly the same twice.
For a satisfying experience, it takes about 6 hours to complete the game.

Game Review
Knightmare is a role-playing game created by Mindscape in 1991, released for Amiga and Atari ST. It's based on the TV show with the same name.
The title was developed by Antony Crowther and designed by the same Crowther with his brother Chris. The two guys previously worked on another Amiga RPG called Captive. Knightmare, in fact, uses the same engine of Captive.

In the TV show, created by Tim Child (who also contributed to the design of the game), four kids need to complete a quest in a virtual fantasy world. It was one of the earliest examples of virtual reality. Crowther was in charge of translating the concept into a videogame. Advanced space battle (c64) mac os. Not for the first time since there is also a 'Knightmare' videogame created by Activision in 1987.

As you can see from the screenshots, this Knightmare is a classic dungeon crawler, with a first-person, pseudo-3D, point of view, like Dungeon Master.
However, if you start playing it, you will notice the two games are different. First of all, Dungeon Master is set in classic epic fantasy, with D&D monsters, fighters, clerics, armors, weapons, and magic. Knightmare is set in a dark, almost scary, fairy tale world. The color palette is dark, and the style reminds me of the movie Labyrinth. The gameplay is also a bit different, because the difficulty is hard, and especially at the beginning, where your party will be barely armed, combat will be more tactical. If you miss some hits, it will be better to escape if you won't want to die soon. True, combat is in realtime also in DM and Eye of the Beholder, but in this case, it's more action-oriented.

Overall, Knightmare is an excellent RPG. Great atmosphere, thanks also to the fantastic sound effects, great difficulty but well balanced. If you like this type of game, and especially if you have loved Captive, you cannot miss it.
