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.

Extremely pleasant

A game picked at random, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. If you want, you can finish it in a moment but it's worth it.

A beautiful walk

A delightful little game to easily while away a couple of hours. A beautifully crafted world to get distracted in and explore - with fun well crafted mechanics for easy casual play. I was braced for this to be emoitonally wrenching, and whilst it was moving, it wasn't a rough ride. The vibe -from the fun charactes to the beautiful music - is feel good through and through.

Un jeu de balade bien sympathique

Ce jeu est ce que l'on attend de lui : passer un moment simple à explorer une île, trouver des coffres et autres récoltables, discuter vite fait avec les habitants, etc. Il y a une petite satisfaction une fois arrivé en haut, puis planer à toute berzingue le long de l'île... même s'il faut rester proche de l'île pour qu'elle ne disparaisse pas dans cette sorte de brouillard étrange (dommage que ce n'est pas réglable). En plus de ce brouillard, c'est dommage de ne pas avoir de cartes d'une façon ou d'une autre : il y a de grands panneaux d'informations où cela aurait été pertinent de proposer cela. On peut également ajuster la finesse des pixels dans le menu graphisme pour ceux que cela dérange (ou les curieux) et cela reste très joli (mais les bulles de dialogues, l'affichage des plumes d'or, la boussole, etc restent pixelisées) Bref c'est un bon jeu que je recommande ! --- A very nice wandering game. This game does what we're expecting from it : spend a simple moment exploring an island, finding chests and other collectibles, chatting quickly with the locals, etc. There's a slight satisfaction once you reach the top, then you can glide wildly along the island... even if you have to stay close to the island so it doesn't disappear into that strange fog (too bad it's not adjustable). Besides the fog, it's a shame there aren't any maps one way or another: there are large information panels where it would have been relevant to propose this. You can also adjust the pixel sharpness in the graphics menu for those who are bothered by it (or the curious), and it still looks very nice (but the speech bubbles, the display of the golden feathers, the compass, etc. remain pixelated). In short, it's a good game that I recommend !

Get This Game

This adventure game doesn't ask for much of your time but it is worth every second. This is a fun cartoon world to glide around and explore in.

Chillest game on earth

This might be the most relaxing game I've ever played... the entire premise is exploring a provincial park and talking to the residents. Right off the bat, you're given this big island to roam around on and chill. You have no tasks or obligations, just reach the mountain peak eventually. As a Canadian, this game really hits home for me and is an easy 10/10. This is now my new comfort game :)
