The Path: A Creepy Computer Game Based on Little Red Riding Hood


The PATH ----- Launch Trailer from Tale of Tales on Vimeo.

Fairy tales are fascinating and creepy, and examining them closely makes you wonder why we tell them to little children. They're a rich source of material to build on and remake, and The Path takes on the tale of Little Red Riding Hood.
As you may recall, in the original tale the young girl, so named because she wore a red head scarf, has been sent to take food in a basket to her sick grandmother, who lives in the forest. On her way, she encounters the Big Bad Wolf, who, after learning where she is heading, beats her to it to eat her grandmother and lie in wait for the girl to eat her, too.
In The Path, there are six versions of Red and six different rules, with the remaking of the fairy tale classic focused on the theme of growing up. GameSpot chatted with cocreator Michael Samyn from Tale of Tales to find out a bit more about this spooky title, released on the PC.
