You can buy it on Steam, Direct2Drive or from their website.

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 ofexploration, 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. The Path is a Slow Game.

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 Path is an independently created video game. It was developed with digital distribution in mind. But despite the small file size of the installer, 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.

What made this game catch your attention? Who develoepd this?

I really want to buy this game. Unfortunately, the entry costs for Air Force OTS has me saving my money

what made this game catch my attention is the fact that these guys usually try something different with their "games".

they have made The Graveyard (if it's a game or not is your "choice"), The Endless Forest (an interesting take on MMO's) and they tried to make 8.

I feel like I need to support them...

Despite my earlier comment, I ended up buying it. It is only 10$ on steam.

I've read a very negative (if not downright horrid) review in addition to a glowing review and a couple decent user reviews. Some impressions from people here would be excellent as the reviews/impressions I've seen so far are all over the map.

I was interested until I heard goth rock.

So far, it is different. I will reserve more judgement until I have more time to play it tommorow. The only quips I have with it is:

1) When you run, the camera angle changes in a way that is less favorable.
2) I understand this is an indie game, but get your collision detectency right.

considering it is not an action games, the above two are minor problems.
