‘A Short Hike’ is
also a relaxing,
meditative game
CROSSWORD number 1206
Soak in the beauty of the surroundings while
going on your quest to reach the mountain top
MATTHEW FIELD
The charming indie game,
A Short Hike created by
Adam Robinson-Yu
maybe appear relatively
uncomplicated, but kept me
captivated for a good couple of
hours.
You play as a young
anthropomorphic bird who has
gone on a camping trip into the
mountains with her father.
Your goal is straightforward:
make your way to the top of the
mountain so that you can get
cellphone reception in order to
receive an important phone call.
Of course, getting there is
the real challenge and along the
way, you’ll be tasked with
completing a number of
puzzles, quests and platforming

of Mark Sparling.
If you’re just trying to make it
to the end, you could probably
blitz through it in around 30
minutes or so but you’d be
missing out on a lot.
Playing this game almost
feels like an act of mediation
rather than the more
conventional videogames
and I’ve found it a great way to
calm down at the end of a
stressful day.
In addition, there are a lot of
fun characters to meet and side
quests to take part in. You might
even find yourself standing in
one place and soaking in the
beautiful scenery below you.

the Nintendo Switch, itch.io,
Steam, GOG and Epic
