Release Date: August 5, 2014
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.
Road Not Taken is a roguelike puzzle game about surviving life’s surprises. You play as a ranger adventuring through a vast, unforgiving forest in the aftermath of a brutal winter storm, rescuing children who have lost their way. Procedurally-generated levels deliver a limitless supply of possibilities to explore and challenges to overcome. Your actions will influence not only your own story, but that of the villagers you hope to befriend and the town you call home.
Game Ratings for Road Not Taken Video Game.
Digital Spy: 4 / 5 by Scott Nichols
Despite its often infuriating difficulty, Road Not Taken is a fascinating journey where how you play it makes all the difference.
GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Jason Venter
Road Not Taken treads an unconventional trail, and is mostly better for it.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 8 / 10 by Dyani Wood
Road Not Taken proved to be a very unique game for its genre, or genres actually. The interesting marriage of what could feel like a mobile title, with the punishing difficulty and creative narrative of a console indie makes Road Not Taken a great game to have in your PS4 library. Also, in the Book of Secrets, this is the note under goat says "Goats eat flowers and then poop. Why? Because they are goats. Stop trying to change the world," and how can you go wrong with that?
