GAMES ABOUT LETTING GO

You're not in control-now what?

- By Jess Kinghorn

Once upon a time, I stumbled upon a fairytale-themed walking sim with only one rule that must be broken.

As one of six sisters dutifully setting out to fulfil a basketful of familial obligation, wolves in various forms lurk within the wood beyond. You're instructed to go to Grandmother's house and stay on the path, but to get the most out of this experience, you must 'let go' of the controls, and allow each girl to disappear among the trees. RIP Angela Carter—you would've loved 2009's The Path.
