The Path of Motus

As you start Path of Motus the first idea that comes to my mind is platformer with some deep meaning social experiment message on bullying. There are enemies, pitfalls and you learn by dying quite a bit. And even though the has it's moments it's never too hard that you want to quit. I like games like these. You don't go through it quickly but you can take your time and figure out how to progress.  There are numerous platformers like that. I think what sets Motus apart isn't so much it's straight forward take on bullying but the underlying messages that occur throughout the game and there are a couple. As I played through the main character's different stages of growth the stories told through the  notes about his father's life and how he settled for a menial existence rather than going for his dreams speaks to how many people function in our society. Where instead of following our dreams we settle for less than we want. The forest that we're trying to get through is a metaphorical one relating to life goals. This is very well emphasized throughout the game. Even the parts where you have someone whispering to "give up and just quit" are a nice touch but it's never as hopeless or un…

Full disclosure, I received a free copy to review this game. The game is neat, puzzles are great, story is greatly told. But let's get the elephant out of the room, the game is too short. 1h and it's over. You can play it again with harder puzzles and a "no kill" run, but even then. Way too short. I have 4.9 hours on the clock cause I left it open. The developper really putted his all in the game, but sadly it's way too short :(

I dont really like the art. The way you attack feels limited but you do have to combo it sometimes so thats ok. Puzzles are ok.

The Path of Motus is a lovely game about a much-discussed sore subject. In creative ways the developer demonstrates how bullying van have a far-reaching impact on people. But above all, the main message is to never let anyone stop you from pursuing your dreams! So find your courage, take your magic brush, connect all the dots, build bridges and make your way out of that mysterious forest!

Cute idea for a game. If I were an indie developer, I might be proud of making this as my first draft title. It feels like it is going for some friendship lessons learned award. In the end, it is not fun.

this game is more of a life story than a game it i am today. I still remember my daddy bought me game it made my day go from a long moist webcomic to a fried mango party. i dont mango great of a fruit but it is the i could describe the feeling of recieving this gift from daddy even my bro had a time for the just ricket some people would say poly bridge is the best bridge build stronger bond than bridges this is why im reccomending this game to anyone who can read.
