Frog (sorry man, I keep shortening you) is only trying to help, by referring us what he knows about the game. He never stated that he played it and he limited himself to a very concise opinion on the game's premise. So, I think his contribution is valuable.

They surely want that. Unfortunately, they fail miserably to achieve this goal.
The Path is a pompous, snobbish, pretentious and boring attempt to make a meaningful interactive story about life, death, sin, redemption and every other theme you may want to read in this incoherent mish-mash: they forgot to put in their
interactive story a story, a gameplay, characters and everything. They have mistaken the formal and stylistic complexity of authors like Joyce, Proust, Gray for incoherence and, forgetting the story, they hampered their own attempt. The fascinating premise, which would have been absolutely brilliant and profound in the hand of a real writer, is just a laughable excuse on their part.
