Pathways is a very interesting experimental game dealing with interactive storytelling. Reminiscent of choose-your-own-adventure books, this game always starts the same way and ends a different one, based on the path you took.

| Hello there, hun! |
The game features 8 different paths and though the beginning is always the same (a woman in your room telling you that she worries when you're gone), it's very fun to find out the relationships between each character and just what your character is going to do.
In terms of graphics, they're kind of ugly, but then if you're looking at experimental games, they shouldn't be a concern. Gameplay is interesting, and a big-scale game with these same mechanics would be great. The only similar game I can think of is Steambot Chronicles (which I haven't played), but there are actual choices and dialogue branchs instead of the game's 'pathway decisions'.
