A Short Hike
RELEASED July 30, 2019 | DEVELOPER adamgryu | PUBLISHER In-house
With freedom to explore and extremely low stakes, this game about a young bird searching for mobile signal atop a mountain is the purest definition of cosy. The Peak Provincial Park where Claire and her aunt May retreat to to escape the city is a gorgeous playground of peaks to climb, winds to ride and secrets to find as you wander to and fro. To reach the top you’ll need to make friends with your fellow holidaymakers so they can give you the tools you need to ascend Hawk Peak.
While your aim is to reach the top, there’s no pressure to get there so you can set your own pace. It’s nice to meander down the paths just to see what’s there and finding joy in the interactions with other hikers as they contend with their own small problems. Playing as Claire feels like recapturing that youthful freedom of boredom that gives way to adventures.
