When I saw this moment in the film I knew that this was the Attic of Grandmother’s House. You can visit the Attic in The Path when playing as Robin.

Fairy Tales have ancient origin

September 10th, 2009 by Auriea

Dr. Jamie Tehrani, studied 35 versions of Little Red Riding Hood from around the world.
Whilst the European version tells the story of a little girl who is tricked by a wolf masquerading as her grandmother, in the Chinese version a tiger replaces the wolf.
In Iran, where it would be considered odd for a young girl to roam alone, the story features a little boy.
Contrary to the view that the tale originated in France shortly before Charles Perrault produced the first written version in the 17th century, Dr Tehrani found that the varients shared a common ancestor dating back more than 2,600 years.
He said: “Over time these folk tales have been subtly changed and have evolved just like an biological organism. Because many of them were not written down until much later, they have been misremembered or reinvented through hundreds of generations.
“By looking at how these folk tales have spread and changed it tells us something about human psychology and what sort of things we find memorable.

Ruby's car

Auriea was quite willful about which kind of car would be part of Ruby’s story. I never asked why. Must be something that happened in her former home of the United States of America, where these “muscle cars” were supposedly all the rage in the seventies.

Incidentally, this is one the objects in The Path that was modeled by the excellent team at Dragon-Fly Studio in Ukraine. Both the rusted and the wrecked version.

This is a page from a wonderful comic strip by Pieter Denys and Joël Callède called “In de Nacht - Legioen” in the Dutch translation. It inspired the design of grandmother’s bedroom.

Jarboe & Kris doing what they do best.

February 12th, 2009 by Auriea

THIS is what Jarboe and Kris can do for a live spoken word performance….

that performance has nothing to do with The Path. But I present it to you as it does show Jarboe’s powers of narration!++ We are trying to arrange an event where she reads Red Ridinghood to a frightened, and attentive, audience :)

MEANWHILE
you should download the first song we’ve released from what we hope will become The PATH Original! Soundtrack! Album!

It’s a little track we like to call “Safe Song.”

good day.

We have a folder of over 2 GB filled with inspirational and reference images for The Path. I thought it would be fun to share some of those images once in a while.

We didn’t keep track of where these images came from, so we can’t always credit them properly. So I’ll just add the file name.
