Your Path — Your Choice

You play as a vagabond trying to carve out a way through dense forests, across mountaintops and through sinister caves. You are not exactly alone in this world. Players before you have had to make the same pathing decisions as you. Will you follow them and be part of the herd or go on a stray path and discover something new?

Each level has distinct traversal goals for you to overcome, points of interest to visit and gorgeous vistas to marvel at while listening to an emotional Original Soundtrack.

You are determined. Your destination is clear. But which path will you choose?

User Study

This experience is part of a master's thesis project in the field of games user research. The project aims to embed various visual techniques to represent the pathing decisions of other players in 3D adventure games.

The demo collects basic personal information and continuously asks you for feedback regarding your playing experience. You can only participate once in the user study. Replaying the demo allows you to play freely without a server connection.
