As Planescape Torment says: What does it take to change a man? In the case of The Path it's the ability to look beyond the obvious, dig deeper than the superficial and try to keep at bay the media you have grown up with that has little in the way of sophistication when it comes to story telling!

I forgot to say that in my first comment, how rude. Well yeah but you know, you can’t let justified doubt interfere with pretentious art critism. :P

My point, and in fact the thing I like most, is that you can take away what you want from it.

Seems to me like if you saw any more than that then you got that from your own head rather than the game. It's true every girl does end up dying but death in the game is just an allegory for growing up. The death of innocence. They all lose some childish aspect of themselves through their encounters with their own private wolves and so the innocent child they were before the encounter dies. That's just the nature of growing up. Just like growing up it looks a lot scarier than it is. The message of the game is that growing up in important and necessary, that the children need to die and avoiding this gets you no where. It's a direct reply to the original Little Red Riding Hood's moralistic message that chastity must be preserved at all cost. Well on my play through I encountered at most one rape.
