The PATH -Tale of Tales retelling of Little Red Riding Hood

Belgium's Tale of Tales have a track-record of making gorgeous innovative narrative games and a great blog. And in the waiting to be approved category, they have just submitted an app, Vanitas, which they note was

"commissioned for The Art History of Games, a public symposium which is taking place February 4th-6th, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, at the High Museum of Art. Where we will be attending and speaking among good company. We are one of 3 developers selected to make something on occasion of the event. The other two being Jason Rohrer and Eric Zimmerman."

The Path can also be downloaded on their website:

"The Path is the latest offering by award-winning Belgium-based game developers Tale of Tales. A surreal twist on the classic fairytale Little Red Riding Hood, The Path is a Gothic horror tale that subverts traditional game mechanics in the same way that a dream subverts narrative. You are inevitably compelled to violate its only instruction—to go to grandmother’s house and stay on the path—and discover the rich and unexpected landscape of experience that awaits you. Each step you make in the unexplored territory of the woods contributes to constructing a different variation on grandmother’s house once you arrive at your destination."
