Unusual combination of classic roguelike production with elements of adventure and puzzle games. The game was developed by Spry Fox, an independent studio so far known mainly from social games. It was inspired by Robert Frost's poem of the same title. The action of the game takes place in mystical forest full of dangers and the player becomes a guard whose task is to find lost children.

SelectButton: 8 / 10 by Mike de Leon

Road Not Taken is a game that you should not take lightly. It is a challenging puzzle game with big cuddly scary teddy bears, little white rabbits and scary Witches. It is hours of fun and frustration. Thanks to the shrines, you are able to stop at any point and come back later to pick up where you left off.
