A beautiful mix of Celeste and Animal Crossing, A Short Hike is a quaint, but fun romp that won't take you long to beat. It masterfully builds up its mechanics throughout the game with great difficulty scaling and interesting twists to keep things interesting. Highly recommended for a fun afternoon.

If you're looking for a break from all the objective and mechanics heavy games, this one is for you. Relaxing music, fun interactions and a good story. Thoroughly enjoyed. :)

A Short Hike is one of the shortest games I've played but the hour or so I spent in it was absolutely worth it. It really captures the feeling of going on an adventure as you climb and explore it's environments. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect with excellent chill music and great environmental sound design.

The gameplay is a very simple 3d platformer, but there is a lot of variety like minigames and fishing. The quests are fun and the dialogue is well written and funny.

Being as short as this game was, not a single second of it's runtime was wasted. Thoroughly enjoyable the whole way through.
