- Have You Played The Path? - 16 August 2019
Weird artsy games were once hard to find. The Path came out in early 2009, just as the indie game renaissance was kicking off, and although we’d seen games Trying To Say Something before, I hadn’t seen anything as experimental and dark and vague as this. (more…)
- Minor update with crash fix - 13 June 2019
In the new version 1.22 of The Path you can change the window mode in the game's options menu. Running the game full screen causes a crash on some computers after selecting a character. If that is the case, please hit ESC before selecting a character then click "options", then at the top change "full screen" to "in window" by clicking an arrow on the side. Thanks to the players who figured out what was causing the problem! Sorry that it took so long to fix. Enjoy. But stay on the path! Michaël Samyn.
- Free games of the week - 26 May 2018
A mix of the fun and serious is what I am bringing to you in this week’s roundup of great free games. We have wacky games about boxing and surgery, games requiring quick and precise movement, and a lovely adventure about someone looking to find a lost artifact. We then move into two more serious games: one about a girl trapped in a broken home, and the other about the effects of an eating disorder on an individual. Sometimes, sombering games are exactly what you re looking for… (more…)

- We're remaking The Endless Forest! - 14 December 2016
The Endless Forest was our first release. A multiplayer online game where everyone plays a magical deer in an idyllic forest. With its peaceful atmosphere, lack of chat or game goals, freedom to play and interact, The Endless Forest set the tone for all our productions to follow (the forest in The Path is based on that in The Endless Forest, by the way). We are celebrating its tenth anniversary with an attempt to remake the technology that drives The Endless Forest. Because we want to be able to continue expanding the game and give it as lively a second decade as its first. Being a completely free game, development of The Endless Forest relies entirely on non-commercial funding. To be able to remake the game, we are currently collecting contributions via IndieGogo. If you care about free games where people can experience a beautiful harmonious magical and often hilariously funny communi…

- Last hours for Cathedral-in-the-Clouds! - 18 November 2015
The Kickstarter for our new project has not achieved its goal yet. Please help if and how you can! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/taleoftales/cathedral-in-the-clouds-contemplation-in-the-digit Cathedral-in-the-Clouds is not a game. It's a series of virtual dioramas intended for contemplation to be distributed for free on many different platforms. To gather the dioramas, we are building a cathedral in VR. It's a challenging project because it is explicitly inspired by medieval Christian art (the Flemish Primitives worked in our town 500 years ago) and we're actually atheists. Exploring this is very exciting to us but probably a bit difficult to stomach for the masses. Luckily we only need a small group of believers. Will you be one of them? Be quick! Thanks you. Michaël Samyn.

- Play Sunset now! - 4 June 2015
Our new game Sunset is now available for all. Right here on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/287600 Like The Path it is a very narrative game. But this time the story is inspired by real world politics and romance, even though the setting is a fictional Latin American country in 1972. You play Angela Burnes, a US citizen who ends up working as a housekeeper in the penthouse of the wealthy Gabriel Ortega in the capital of San Bavón. As you go about your business washing dishes and ironing shirts, a revolution breaks out in the city below. Slowly but surely you get entangled in a web of revolutionary intrigue and, possibly, romance as the Anchurian people rise up against the notorious generalísimo Ricardo Miraflores. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=965e4x4bKq4
