The Way is a 2D cinematic platform game released for Microsoft Windows in 2016 and Nintendo Switch in 2019. It was developed by Puzzling Dream and published by PlayWay. It tells the story of a space explorer who is unable to accept the death of his wife. Finding ancient writings on eternal existence during one of his last expeditions, he returns to the site in search of a way to bring her back to life.[1]
