Snowy Path is a surprisingly polished game, mixing exploration, horror, shooter and mystery to make a compelling short experience. Unfortunately, the shooting mechanic is all but useless and the game could have done better without it, but, since it's optional, it doesn't hurt the overall feeling of progression.
The last section of the game is, in my point of view, completely unnecessary, especially due to how the game ends.
I still recommend you to try it, though, and you'll probably be surprised as well.
The game runs perfectly well on Steam Deck as you can see by pressing the link below:
