Evaluation
Pathless Woods: Prologue was a free-to-play multiplayer test build released on September 27, 2023 by AniYa Games Studio, intended to help the developer gather feedback on online multiplayer before the full release of Pathless Woods. The developer was always transparent that this prologue was temporary: a November 30, 2023 announcement confirmed that the prologue build would be taken down on February 1, 2024, with online services ending on the same date. The store listing confirms this outcome — the game currently has no purchase options available, meaning it has been removed from the storefront as planned. The prologue served its purpose as a limited-time test, and the developer's attention has since shifted to the full game, Pathless Woods (Steam App ID 1726130), which was being developed for an Early Access release targeting Q1 2024.
