Yes. But she will probably not live very long. Confused

Haha, that's true! This game is going to be great. I've always wanted a good horror game which doesn't include zombies and shooting.

Yes, I have to wear it all the time. When I sleep, when I swim.. When I do anything :\ Ah, well I take it of when in shower and when I change clothes.
But I only have 2 months to go and then I don't have to wear it anymore! So I won't wear it for the rest of my life, like Ruby (will she?)


I don't think, from what's been said in her char description and by Michael, that she even has to wear it to begin with. I think she wears it just to represent her 'inner turmoil' or some other such goth-boxish thing.

Still, you have my virtual sympathies, Tahmis!

I was thinking the other day, looking at the photo of all the girls lined up.

Everyone likes them. The amount of work put into each character is stunning. And so many people here are exited to play the game; I know I am.

And when I go to play I'm going to lead them all to their deaths.

It's rather disquieting. Neutral

Wow, you're right. That makes it all so...profound, somehow. That is, even more than it already is.

But there's something beautiful about destroying something of beauty, of taking these young girls with their whole lives ahead of them, these girls who we know so much about -both from what we've been told and our own imaginations- and killing them off, finding metaphor and meaning in their deaths. And in the time preceding their deaths.

I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME Shocked.

AND WHERE IS STERNRED?!

Goodness, why don't I keep up with these Path developments. Only one to go!? Last time I checked there was only one girl showing in the lineup.

How time files!

That is quite a thought! I hadn't realized that, but yes, it's true... wow. Interesting concepts...

I know. I'm worried.
I only really realized the impact of this a few weeks ago myself.

I have a few questions about The Path, though I'm not sure if this is the right thread.

1. If you take the wrong path, is there anyway to get on the right path again, or are you stuck?
2. Can you...beat the wolf? xD Is there any good wolves? I'm guessing no.
3. Will any of the girls make cameo appearences in The Endless Forest? I think during an Abio I saw one of the girls from The Path playing jump-rope. Or will a deer or something make a cameo in The Path?

xD

We do hope you get lost in the forest. But never stuck in the game. There are ways to get back to the path. The fact that they're not straightforward is part of the story.

The Path is not a game about winning. Nor a game where "good" and "bad" are simple neutral terms.

The jump-roping girl is a character that appears in other games too. The version in The Endless Forest comes straight out of "8". In The Path, she will be a little bit older. We're hoping to do cross-overs between the two games but we're not sure if the styles wil be compatible. We'll see.

It's like ice sculptures, or theatre - you rehearse for months and months, you perform two nights, and then it's all over.

So I just watched one of the trailers again and near the end of the second one Ruby is sitting on a park bench in an abandoned play ground. But something I noticed this time is sitting on the bench next to her is what appears to be a man. Her wolf, maybe?
