About This Game:
Road Not Taken is a puzzle game about surviving life's surprises. You play as a ranger adventuring through a vast, unforgiving forest in the aftermath of a brutal winter storm, rescuing children who have lost their way. Randomly generated levels deliver a limitless supply of possibilities to explore and challenges to overcome. Your actions will influence not only your own story, but that of the villagers you hope to befriend and the town you call home.
Story Details:
Each time you play Road Not Taken, you're likely to experience a very different story. The paths you take will change; the relationships you pursue will twist in ways you did not expect. Which, as it happens, is just like real life.
The villagers of Road Not Taken believe that there is an optimal path through life: a good person gets a job, falls in love and has children. You won't follow this path. Can you find your own unique way through a life?
Gameplay Details:
No path leads to the same destination in Road Not Taken. The trails you take will change, the relationships you pursue will twist in ways you might not expect, and the narrative you create with every action will be yours to decide. Every playthrough offers new and unusual creatures to encounter, secrets and items to discover, townsfolk to build relationships with, and devilish, hand-crafted puzzle rooms to solve.
Brains, Not Brawn:
Your character has the magical ability to levitate and move objects. You must figure out how to use your talents and tactics to circumvent or defeat a wide variety of dangerous creatures, obstacles, and boss encounters.
Get Lost in the Wild:
Road Not Taken is brought to life with gorgeous 2D artwork, expressively charming sprite design, and an evocative, atmospheric soundtrack. Every puzzle is a challenge of exploration and strategy, testing players to think before taking each step forward.

★★★★★
Great puzzle game, but controls are iffy. Still worth a buy!!
★★★★★
I love Spry Fox's other mobile games, so I was excited when this game came to android. Satisfying puzzles, great graphics, and surprisingly emotional life stories make this a game worth re-playing.
★★★★★
A great game hampered by inconsistent controls. If using the swipe controls, you should only ever move in the initial direction. It's frustrating to have my character suddenly veer off in a new direction because my finger accidentally slid a little bit. If I want to move in a new direction, I should have to lift my finger completely and swipe in a new direction. The directional touchpad is useless as I frequently click a direction and end up throwing something instead. Also, I turned it off in options and it came back. These significant complaints aside, the gameplay is clever, and the graphics are beautiful, and the problems are easily addressed, so I look forward to updating my review soon.
★★☆☆☆
Looks lovely, but the controls are horrendous. The d-pad use unless and has a mind of its own. And using swipes is laborious and rarely goes were you want it to. Would be so much better if you could just tap on the square you want to move to!
★★☆☆☆
The dpad is too small makes this game almost unplayable. I love this game
on my PS4 so was excited to pick it up for my phone. 10 minutes into the
game, and I'm ready to quit because of directional mistakes caused by using
the dpad, tap to pick up, and swipe to move randomly working or reading
incorrectly. I am sad I wasted the money on this game.
