About this game
Developed for three years by Michael Hicks (design, music, programming, writing) and Gonçalo Antunes (all art and animations), The Path of Motus weaves gameplay and story together to deliver a poetic experience unlike anything before it.
Featured Gameplay:
- Verbal Combat: Motus meets bullies that yell a variety of deadly words; you'll need to tactfully use your own words to deal with them. Will you use your words to inspire, or to destroy?
- Bridge building: There's a reason why no one's made it through the forest! Solve challenging bridge puzzles to build a way out.
- Growing Up: Face unique challenges as Motus gradually grows from a child to an adult. Meet exciting new characters in each chapter of life and explore the deeper reasons for why they're so aggressive towards others.
- Thought Doors: Solve innovative puzzles that convey what Motus is feeling throughout the story. Unlike other story based games, the coolest moments in The Path of Motus come across nonverbally as you play.

Path of Motus 1.1 Released
Hey everyone, I just uploaded an updated version of the game. It adds/fixes a couple of things: - Key Remapping support for keyboard has been added in the options menu. I still recommend you play the game with a controller, but if all you have is a keyboard you can now remap the letter keys to whatever you find most comfortable. - There was an issue some people were having with the game crashing. Long story short, this should be fixed. Thanks for the support!! MichaelRead full article on Community Announcements (michael)
