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.

Really nice relaxing game
Don't expect a masterpiece but this game is worth a look. What you need to fix is the pixcel dencity -> you can set it to +250% which is like "ultra" graphics Unfortunately you cant change the camera which cant be rotated 360° which is a drawback. Other than these things this game is really refreshing, no stress, just explore. Nice music and nice setting. Playtime < 3hrs but worth it. One small world with many details.

Wonderful but short.
What a wonderful game. Its all about exploration, enjoying the scenery and your time up the mountain. There is no fall damage, enemies, death, etc. I played on Xbox and, though I knew it'd be short, I wanted more. The main character is a bird person and just their soaring alone is a fun game mechanic.

quite lovely
it's a nice little cozy game in which your goal is to reach the peak of a mountain on a small island. I cant really put into words how well the games was made, but i've got to say, it shure was worth the time and money i've spend in playing the game.
