I adore everything about "A Winding Path" - the simple hand-drawn art style, the black-and-white aesthetic, and the charming pencil drawings with their imperfections. The ambient environment sounds create a wonderful atmosphere for exploration. The lovely story and beautiful finale, along with hidden rewards, make for a delightful 2D adventure. Highly recommended.

I'm in love! beautiful in it's simplicity, this game takes me back to my youth when you would dwelve into a pc game you got a copy of on a slick 5.25 disk and went to town! Really reminds me of a game called BELOW THE ROOT that was a side scrolling open world game way ahead of it's time and actually makes me long to see amodern remake with this style, anyway, great wholesome easy to follow along game i want to take my time with because I can tell I'll be sad when it's over!

Play as a rainmaker who needs to get people together for a feast of happiness and solve the mystery of why the sea vanished. Armed with a Lyre that creates a cloud of rain for a few seconds when played, the rainmaker will have to understand and help people, as well as rinse them a few times, in the fantasy world of A Winding Path. A Winding Path is a walking simulator adventure developed and self-published by Three Eyed Games on the 26th of August 2021 on the Steam platform. The game is also available on Nintendo Switch. What a lovely little game set in a black-and-white hand-drawn world where stick people live; I was a bit uncertain as to what to expect from this game. It’s pretty much a storytelling game where your character will move from one place to another and figure out puzzles. Most of these puzzles are tasks you’ll receive from an NPC to complete; for example, talk to someone or find something …

I've played through A Winding Path a couple of times now and figured I should finally leave a review. This is a charming little game that you can finish in just a few sittings. The art, the story, and the world are all simple and endearing. The story is a straightforward tale of bringing communities together through thanksgiving. With a hint of mystical healing for both people and nature. Again, I've really enjoyed this game through multiple play throughs. I will continue to enjoy it in future play throughs.

This game is a very nice little indie gem. We had a lot of fun playing it. The story is cute and a bit fairytale-like and fantastic. Collecting the achievements was also a nice goal for us. The puzzles were not always obvious (but never unfair) and so we were able to puzzle a little. The minimalist graphic style in the style of animated pencil drawings reminded me of my school days when I used to doodle similar sketches during breaks and was the main reason for my purchase. The music and sounds are fitting and create a cosy atmosphere. It was a very enjoyable journey, I highly recommend this game to any adventure game fan. Hopefully we'll see another game from these devs. --- Das Spiel ist eine sehr schöne kleine Indie Perle. Wir hatten eine Menge Spaß beim Spielen. Die Story ist niedlich und ein wenig märchenhaft und fantastisch. Die Errungenschaften zu sammeln war ein schönes Zusatzziel für uns. Die Rätsel waren nicht immer offensichtlich (aber nie unfair) and so konnten wir ein wenig knobeln. Der minimalistische Grafikstil im Stile von animierten Bleistiftzeichnungen erinnerten mich an meine Schulzeit, in der ich in den Pausen ähnliche Skizzen kritzelte und war der Hauptgrund…
