The Path news & patch notes

We have updated The Path so it runs on Windows 10 again. And in honor of the 8th Anniversary of The Path, we are having a sale. Now everyone can have adventures with Red Girls and Wolves in the deep dark woods for 30% off! http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/839065/83a034990bc52f61306d5665bdb9a83d24a931fa.jpg

The Endless Forest was our first release. A multiplayer online game where everyone plays a magical deer in an idyllic forest. With its peaceful atmosphere, lack of chat or game goals, freedom to play and interact, The Endless Forest set the tone for all our productions to follow (the forest in The Path is based on that in The Endless Forest, by the way). We are celebrating its tenth anniversary with an attempt to remake the technology that drives The Endless Forest. Because we want to be able to continue expanding the game and give it as lively a second decade as its first. Being a completely free game, development of The Endless Forest relies entirely on non-commercial funding. To be able to remake the game, we are currently collecting contributions via IndieGogo. If you care about free games where people can experience a beautiful harmonious magical and often hilariously funny community, please consider helping out! https://igg.me/at/theendlessforest http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6106170/5f4d21b7568b3bb47bd1721cdd1e0a187c54a5c0.jpg

The Kickstarter for our new project has not achieved its goal yet. Please help if and how you can! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/taleoftales/cathedral-in-the-clouds-contemplation-in-the-digit Cathedral-in-the-Clouds is not a game. It's a series of virtual dioramas intended for contemplation to be distributed for free on many different platforms. To gather the dioramas, we are building a cathedral in VR. It's a challenging project because it is explicitly inspired by medieval Christian art (the Flemish Primitives worked in our town 500 years ago) and we're actually atheists. Exploring this is very exciting to us but probably a bit difficult to stomach for the masses. Luckily we only need a small group of believers. Will you be one of them? Be quick! Thanks you. Michaël Samyn.

Our first "post-game" art project is in need of your support to get started. Please have a look at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/taleoftales/cathedral-in-the-clouds-contemplation-in-the-digit and back the creation if you like what you see. And please spread the word so everyone who likes this sort of thing will have a chance to get it, even if it's not your cup of tea. Thank you! —Michaël & Auriea.

Our new game Sunset is now available for all. Right here on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/287600 Like The Path it is a very narrative game. But this time the story is inspired by real world politics and romance, even though the setting is a fictional Latin American country in 1972. You play Angela Burnes, a US citizen who ends up working as a housekeeper in the penthouse of the wealthy Gabriel Ortega in the capital of San Bavón. As you go about your business washing dishes and ironing shirts, a revolution breaks out in the city below. Slowly but surely you get entangled in a web of revolutionary intrigue and, possibly, romance as the Anchurian people rise up against the notorious generalísimo Ricardo Miraflores. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=965e4x4bKq4

If you loved The Path... Bientôt l’été is available for Mac and PC. You can get it here: http://conte-des-contes.com/bientotlete It's been 3 years since our previous release. So we're pretty excited about this one. Especially because it takes yet another step further away from conventional game ideas and towards embracing the medium of videogames as a mature and capable platform for artistic expression. We feel we have made a lot of progress with this one. Bientôt l'été was inspired by French novelist and filmmaker Marguerite Duras. It's about love and loss, deception and desire, coyness and cruelty. You play a man or a woman, you walk along the beach, pensive. And then you go inside, to meet another player for a strange game of chess. The music was composed by Walter Hus and the animations were made by Laura Raines Smith, who has animated all of our characters so far. The text is spoken in French and subtitled in many languages which you can choose from. Currently: English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Polish and Russian. And we hope to add more. Please spread the word if you like Bientôt l'été. Warm wishes, Michael & Auriea.

Instead of extracting part of The Path and releasing it as a free trial, this is a brand new chapter, similar to parts of the game, but not the same. It gives you a free taste of the atmosphere of The Path. In The Path - Prologue, you control the mysterious Girl in White. There’s a not a lot of gameplay in this demo. It’s just about exploring the forest and pondering the sights. A prologue should show what happened before the events in the story. But in this case, it may seem like it’s showing things that happened after. A mystery that will make more sense after playing the full game. Play it now, on Steam.
