The Path, a PC game released by Tale of Tales, has a very clear feminist message and also very evident ties to Jungian Psychology. However, an intriguing and often unexplored concept is the examination of race in The Path.
The White Girl (Or the Girl in White, as she is known in the game) is a ghostly young Black girl who haunts the forest in which the game takes place. In the initial encounter she might seem very creepy, but she actually turns into a protagonist of sorts, and definitely has the potential of befriending the girls. She is the antithesis of the wolf, in that if given a chance she will return your character to the path. Her role in the game is initially mysterious, in terms of why she inhabits the forest, but through Carmen’s encounter with the wolf at the camp site, we are able to gain insight.
