No matter what, eventualy you will die, but it's about living the best life possible. Get married have kids, or fall in love with all the ladies. It's up to you how you want to spend your life, but you will always remeber the road you didn't choose, the kid you didn't save, the child you never had. You can even be a homosexual if you are in to that kinda stuff.I would recomend this game to anyone who is willing to slowley dicover a new beutiful world with all sorts of goodies and monstersSTEAM GIVE ME MY BADGE!. What can you say about this game? Well, it's georgeous and a new take on the whole puzzle-genre. Imagine a mix between Spelunky or The Binding of Isaac, a new take on chess and Braid. Hard to imagine I guess, so try it for yourself. It will blow your mind. I would say this is THE best puzzle game I've played this year, it might even be one of the best games released this year, all-categories. A strong recommendation. And you might notice that this is one of my few reviews, which means this has a special place in my heart. 10\/10, simply amazing art-style, magical music and sound, great gameplay, simple but touching story and a whole new idea for how a puzzle game should be like. Again, 10\/10.. Listen. Children. I love this game. Even though I have lots of other games that I haven't finished or haven't even played yet despite owning a copy, I cannot stop playing this game. Granted, it plays with my heartstrings when I'm unable to save a child in the same room as I am. But that's life. There will be days when something happens and you have to live with it. And IF there's a problem with the game. You just have to message the developers. It didn't take too long for them to help me with my problem when I was stuck cuz some items didn't spawn. I'm just saying it's a beautiful game. It messes me up sometimes. But so does life. If anyone is considering getting it. YOU SHOULD.. A solid game. Good story, nice message, beautiful art style.I was bored out of my mind.. I just wanted a cute puzzle game, now I'm questioning my assumptions about life and the little ways we judge each other.. It's a roguelike in that you have but one life to live, but it's a far cry from the average roguelike. It's earned its puzzle tag here on the steam store and definitely favors deliberation. The need for strategy isn't unlike the roguelike genre, for sure, but rather than having to worry about enemies coming to kill you if you make a wrong move, you have to strike a balance between meeting objectives and the energy it will cost you to do so.There are multiple ways to go about finishing every dungeon, and you don't actually have to complete the dungeon to leave it; find half the children and see them safely home, if that's all you feel you can do. There are different leaderboards, reflecting different things to strive for.And the game is pleasing to eye and ear.. You want a roguelike that thinks outside of the box? Look no further. Road Not Taken is a hard-as-nails, puzzle based, story-rich, atmospheric roguelike that breaks boundaries. This title was expertly crafted. Lots of attention to detail, and my-oh-my is there depth. It is quite a dark game, as well.Pros:+Like any roguelike worth its salt, Road Not Taken has a lot of content and mystery to unravel and master. Tons of gameplay here. I haven't even scratched the surface at 5 hours. +Puzzles are super challenging, in a good way.+Atmosphere and artwork are absolutely stunning. Really well done here. Lots of attention to detail.+The story is rich and is a welcome addition to modern roguelike\/lites.Cons:-Yeah, its difficult, but do-able. I mention this because it looks like a fairly cute puzzle game, but it can be overwhelming at times (especially if you want to avoid spoilers), IMO. Even in 5 hours, I haven't gotten very far.-Addiction factor isn't the highest, but I can generally look past this, since its got tons of depth. Hard to explain. It isn't like BoI where its 'One more run!!' kind of thing.A must have for any fan of the modern roguelike genre. Totally worth full price, even.. A simple puzzle game which gets complicated quick. Simple designe and cute, with a variety of options. But yeah, real cute, and a good way to kill time without getting to stressed out over head shots and kill scores. You even get the option to cop out and leave up to half the kids for dead! Go you!. This is just a first impression review of the game and it is most definitely fun and entertaining, to the point where I am writing my first review ever! A great puzzle game with art that is enjoyable and entertaining to play around with. Just a side note: I'm not sure about the "rogue-like" tag. I am still on my first play several hours in and have yet to die (as a huge fan of rogue-like games this doesnt tend to happen) In no way do I mean that with any sort of negative connotation, just pointing out that its not typical of rogue-likes, but so far so good :)More to come!
