A Short Hike is a 2019 adventure video game by the Canadian indie game designer Adam Robinson-Yu, also known as adamgryu. It is an open world exploration game in which the player is tasked with reaching the summit of a mountain in the Hawk Peak Provincial Park to get cell phone reception. To reach the top, the player has to collect Golden Feathers which give the player the ability to run, climb, and double jump. While exploring, the player also encounters various non-player characters (NPCs), some of which offer minigames and tasks to complete.
Runs well on modern hardware.

i love this game and the overall storyline and game mechanics are perfect but the little moments with the NPCs are what make this game so lovely to me <3 highly recommend!
Just amazing short cozy game. It was perfect for my overworked and depressed ass to settle in for a couple of evenings. Stylized minimalistic visuals are cozy and esthetically pleasing. Music is top notch and quite relaxing. I love gliding mechanics in games, and this one handled it perfectly. Overall it's a nice and concise experience. 100% would play more games from this dev.
A wonderful little game. Absolutely charming and engaging writing mixed with elegant gameplay. A warm hug of hope and a perfect escape from the despairs of life.
