About Road Not Taken
Road Not Taken is a roguelike puzzle game about a ranger surviving life’s surprises in a vast, unforgiving forest after a brutal winter storm. You rescue children who have lost their way, solve puzzles and encounter dangerous creatures. Randomly generated levels offer changing challenges, and your actions shape your story, your relationships with the villagers and the town you call home.
Story and relationships
Each playthrough can tell a different story: the paths you take change, and the relationships you pursue can develop in unexpected ways. The villagers believe there is an optimal path through life: getting a job, falling in love and having children. You do not follow that path, and your choices let you find your own way through life. The narrative you create is shaped by your actions.
Explore and solve
Each playthrough offers unusual creatures to encounter, secrets and items to discover, townsfolk to befriend and hand-crafted puzzle rooms to solve. The puzzles call for exploration and strategy, and ask you to think before taking each step. Your character can levitate and move objects, abilities you use with tactics to circumvent or defeat dangerous creatures, obstacles and boss encounters.
The forest
The game features 2D artwork, sprite characters and an atmospheric soundtrack.
