Road Not Taken

Road not taken is a PS4 game that was free via PS Plus. I don't have many screenshots, in part because I didn't play it for very long. Essentially, it's a puzzle game where you try to reunite lost children with their mothers. It reminds me of "Sokoban," a part of the old PC game Nethack.  You move one space at a time, and when you move everything else moves as well.  Many screens are blocked by a wall, and you can lower the wall by placing the indicated objects close to one another. 

Some of the puzzles can get quite complex, and if you don't plan ahead then you will likely be killed by monsters. Road Not Taken also features "perma-death" meaning that when you die, it's time to start all the way from the beginning.

For what it is, I thought it was quite well made. But it's not really a game for me.
