History
Puzzling Dream team was freshly formed and in need for an idea for their first title. After some brainstorming all team members wrote down their favorite childhood games. Looking at the list they realized that some of those titles were recently re-released (Another World) or re-made (Flashback). However, there was no NEW games that would have similar spirit or gameplay. That instantly became their goal and idea for The Way has formed. Two years later the love letter was completed and released. Now everyone can enjoy a brand new cinematic platformer adventure!

L'histoire
L'équipe de Puzzling Dream était fraîchement formée et avait besoin d'une idée pour son premier titre. Après un brainstorming, tous les membres de l’équipe ont notés les jeux préférés de leur l’enfance. En regardant la liste, ils se sont rendus compte que certains de ces titres avaient été récemment réédités (Another World) ou recréés (Flashback). Cependant, il n'y avait pas de nouveaux jeux qui auraient un esprit ou un gameplay similaire. Ceci est instantanément devenu leur objectif et une idée pour The Way s'est formée. Deux ans plus tard, la lettre d'amour était complétée et publiée. Maintenant, tout le monde peut profiter d'une toute nouvelle aventure de plateforme cinématique !
