The Path to Die

The Path to Die is a top-down pixel art action-adventure game about a samurai traveling through Feudal Japan. You explore areas of a large Imperial Palace, including gardens, pagodas, cemeteries and villas, while infiltrating guarded locations and fighting the enemies in your way.

Fight with your weapons

Combat uses the right stick to control your katana: you attack by moving it rather than pressing attack buttons. You also use a bow, and face enemies with different weapons and fighting techniques, as well as bosses who try to stop you. The game includes stamina, bleeding and katana sharpness wear, and health does not restore.

Explore and survive

Search every corner for food, drinks, bandages and other items needed to stay alive and keep fighting. Looting provides items that are indispensable to survival. The game uses a manual save system and has no checkpoints.
