unlabelledView post →A Short Hike will forever be one of my favorite games because it set the expectations IN THE TITLE. It's going to be a short game, it's got a very novel mechanic, it looks great, it's priced accordingly, it's charming, and does it fucking deliver on the narrative setup at the end. Amazing.

unlabelledView post →Just played through A Short Hike. I love this #indiegame and recommend it to everyone. You have to experience its charms firsthand: little moments add up into an emergent story unique to your playthrough. Work + life have me a bit burnt out lately. I really needed A Short Hike, and am glad for it.
unlabelledView post →A Short Hike took four months to develop, so indie devs can use that as a helpful unit of measurement. Did your game take a year to develop? Then it must be three times as good as A Short Hike, and will make three times as much money.
unlabelledView post →I'm waiting for Minecraft 1.21.6 to come out in order to fire up Season 4 of the Punch-A-Chunk, and this morning I played A Short Hike. The game is impossibly cute and well worth the $5 I paid for it. Highly recommend it.
unlabelledView post →Game #7 of 2026: A Short Hike ⛰️🪶 A short hike is a cozy game that's all about the journey, not the destination. I got to glide and climb, but also to meet lovely folks on my hike. The game was short and sweet.

unlabelledView post →How did people feel about the "pixel" setting in A Short Hike? I remember feeling conflicted about deliberately downsampling a game, but I think it's an interesting "sacrifice" to make for a more impressionistic style (as in, the low res gives you more space to imagine more detail)

unlabelledView post →Starting a series highlights my favourite games I’ve worked on. Today it’s A Short Hike by @adamgryu.bsky.social. It’s so much more than a brilliant game. A Short Hike changed the way we think about indie game development, I would go as far as saying it’s one of the most pivotal 🖤🖤
unlabelledView post →A Short Hike meets a lot of Cozy Game requirements but Claire's written such that even at the start you can tell she's got some shit going on which might complicate the mood. I think a Witch in the Alps game could have plenty of emotional complexity while maintaining a pleasant mood.
