There are two ways to interpret that title. It seems to hint at an untrodden wilderness filled with discoveries, just waiting to be explored. It suggests freedom, too; in the absence of paths, presumably we can carve our own. Equally, such a place could leave us feeling lost, or lacking in direction. As the Byron-inspired title no doubt hopes to imply, there is pleasure in these woods, and you don’t have to look too hard to find it. But (and no one is more surprised than us to say this) it doesn’t last – even for the short duration of a time-limited demo.
