A Short Hike
Description
Hike, climb, and soar through the peaceful mountainside landscapes of Hawk Peak Provincial Park. Follow the marked trails or explore the backcountry as you make your way to the summit. Along the way, meet other hikers, discover hidden treasures, and take in the world around you.
Key Features
- Explore the island any way you like. Choose your own path to follow and see where it leads you. You never know what you might stumble into!
- Hike at your own pace — there’s no need to rush to the summit! Take your time fishing along the river banks or swimming by the lakeshore.
- Collect hidden treasures to reach new heights. Try taking a dive off the mountain peaks to soar above the forests.
- Chat with the other hikers you meet along your route. You might be able to help each other out!
- Listen to a lush original soundtrack by Mark Sparling that progresses dynamically as you explore the wilderness.

Essential
A quest to find phone signal leads to a glorious game of exploration and reconnection.

8/10
An utterly charming and perfectly paced mini-adventure that packs in more character, emotion, and sense of wonder than most 30 hour epics.

Perfect short game
Perfect to switch in a short game to cut a big game.

I adored this game
absolutely lovely game. If you want to chill and relax, this game is for you. One aspect I have to point out is the music and the art direction, not just in making it pixel art, but with a personality on its own. Other great aspect is the writing and the side characters that you meet along the way. It is a short game, but it is soooo sweet.

A charming little experience
I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable open-world adventure game. The controls are tight, the exploration is rewarding and the atmosphere is sublime. It's visually reminiscent of Animal Crossing Wild World, especially if you keep the pixel style chunky. The soundtrack is also terrific, plus it changes dynamically depending on whereabouts you are. Definitely recommended if you need something to cheer you up or take your mind away from the real world for a bit.
