The Pathless is an action-adventure video game developed by Giant Squid and published by Annapurna Interactive. Players control a nameless character, referred to as The Hunter, who travels to a mythical island shrouded in a supernatural curse. Instead of relying on traditional objective markers, the game focuses on intuitive exploration, archery-based movement and fluid traversal across forests, plains and ruins. Progress revolves around restoring light to regions controlled by corrupted gods, which culminates in boss encounters that blend chases, aerial movement and archery. The narrative is delivered through environmental storytelling and remnants of a fallen civilisation, keeping dialogue minimal.
Runs well on modern hardware.
