May 2025
Road Not Taken surprised me. At first, I expected something lightweight or forgettable, but it quickly revealed a deeper emotional and mechanical core. The puzzle system is clever, the visual style is striking, and the small narrative beats—especially around rescuing children and the emotional toll it takes—resonate more than I expected. I’m early in, but I want to go deeper. This feels like a game that earns its emotional weight slowly, and I’m ready to see where the road leads.

Great for a tough puzzle game, very easy to pick up and put down whenever. While some of the achievements are OUTRAGEOUSLY difficult, they are super rewarding. I originally played this game on console, before buying another copy on PC. Don't let the difficulty get to you, once you learn how it works, it becomes manageable. One of my fav games OOT.

Cute little puzzle rogue-like which delightful visuals, cute little story, and a difficulty curve. It doesn't quite keep me engaged but for puzzlers I'm sure its worth a look.
