About Path Out

Path Out is is an autobiographical adventure game that allows the players to experience the journey of Abdullah Karam, a young Syrian artist that escaped the civil war in 2014. Path Out is a tale full of surprises, challenges and paradoxical humor, giving insight in this real-life adventure, on which Abdullah comments through Youtube-style videos in the game.

Features:
  • Autobiographical adventure based on real events
  • Relive Abdullah's escape from war-torn Syria
  • Abdullah shares his thoughts in key game point with Youtube-style commentary videos
  • Neo-orchestral electronica music with oriental influences by Wobblersound
  • Meticulously researched pixel art style inspired by classic 16-bit games and Syrian art
  • A unique non-combat & narrative driven experience

In this first part of Abdullah's journey, he recalls life before the war, a family decision that led to his departure and the perilous journey from his hometown Hama to the Turkish border through the war-torn Aleppo province. The players follow Abdullah's path, getting to know his life, family and surrounding in a narrative adventure that also contains quests and challenges that are based on real events. The gameplay closely follows narrative classics like To The Moon, adding the bitter flavor of the Syrian war, the violence by soldiers and rebels that the players have to escape and the murderous minefield that have to be navigated during the escape.

“I used to be an average kid - going to school, listening to music, and playing video games... Lots of video games”, says Abdulla, Writer and Graphic Designer of Path Out. “When my home turned into a war zone and during my escape I suddenly had to deal with very different circumstances... like spotting landmines or surviving a river ride in an oil barrel while crossing a border. I’m looking forward to be able to share the beginning of my story in Path Out with players around the world”.

Does the story end here?
Currently Path Out only tells the beginning of Abdullah’s escape. Upcoming episodes of Path Out could take players on a journey from Syria through Turkey, Greece and the Balkan until he finally arrives at his destination (and current whereabouts) in Central Europe.

Who made Path Out?
Path Out is a collaboration between Abdullah Karam, the developers of Causa Creations, Wobblersound and the Austrian-American graphic designer Brian Maine.

My apologies, but I can't really recommend this game. I will point out the reasons for my decision: 1. We got the promise here to experience the real story of the creator's escape from Syria and it's war. But in the game itself the creator points out, that some parts of this game are just fictional (like wearing the niqab for escaping or ratting out one of the neighbors), for improving our game experience. That makes it hard for me to find out, what really happened. 2. Main reason why I can't recommend it: this is just a demo! Chapter 1 of the whole story and the creator tries to promise us to continue this story, if we are willingly following them outside of Steam or giving thumbs up here in their Steam-reviews. 3. The game/real life story isn't telling us much. It obviously should only make us curious and let us wait for more in the future. So short summarized: this "game"'s just a tease.

Path Out tells the story of a young man, having to leave Syria and his family behind due to the senselessness of the civil war in Syria. The story is short, yet eye-opening, it illustrates all the crazy events that are part of such a fleeing. I can recommend the game, it is short and available for free & I think there are many things that can be learned from it. At the very least it should put you in a position of empathy towards this young man, who would rather play video games (like all of us) but is forced to leave his home and family.

Игра "Path Out" предлагает погружение в атмосферный постапокалиптический мир с минимальным геймплеем. Простой механике и медленному темпу соответствует красивая графика и мрачная атмосфера. Однако отсутствие четкой цели и слабый сюжет делают игру скучной. Подойдет для любителей медитативного геймплея, но не станет шедевром.
