Our take on The Path of Motus
Verbal confrontations let players choose whether Motus answers bullies with words that inspire or destroy.
What is The Path of Motus?
The Path of Motus follows Motus, a young goblin determined to build bridges through a forest that has trapped generations of his village.
Along the way, he faces bullies whose words can stop him. Players respond to their verbal attacks with words, choosing whether to inspire or destroy, and solve bridge puzzles to make a path onward. The story follows Motus as he grows from a child into an adult, with new characters and challenges at each stage. Thought puzzles express his feelings through play, including moments conveyed without dialogue. The game combines its story with verbal encounters and puzzles as Motus works toward leaving the forest.
