Pathless
Pathless may refer to multiple things, but is most commonly associated with The Pathless, a 2020 action-adventure video game developed by Giant Sparrow and published by Annapurna Interactive.

The title’s gameplay combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and occasional combat, with a focus on fluid traversal. Players use a bow to shoot energy arrows that create temporary teleport-like platforms, enabling rapid movement across the landscape and reaching elevated areas. The eagle can be commanded to scout and assist in traversal and exploration. The game is single-player and emphasizes atmosphere, minimalist storytelling, and stylized art direction.
