It's called hawk peak cause it's peak. P.S: you can play the game perfectly with keyboard, don't listen to the console NPCs, also put graphics settings on "tiny and sharp" makes it 10x better. Oh and btw in case you need this: https://voxelse.github.io/aShortHike/interactiveMap/

A short game that lives up to its positive reviews. The story though simple is quite touching (no spoilers here), the NPCs are cute and interesting, there is also a lot to do after endgame if you are up to it. The art-style fits the vibe of the game nicely and the main quest is challenging enough for an afternoon game session. Only downside for me personally was that i got real bad motion sickness while playing it on the standard setting, adjusting the pixel size helped a lot. Kinda funny because normally i don't ever get motion sick while playing games? Anyway if you experience the same issue try changing the pixel size in the game settings and taking regular breaks.

Hmm... GREAT SHORT EXPERIENCE! All side activities and micro-stories of each character are really fun. I recommend trying this short game and unlocking all achievements to get the full experience

What an amazing experience. For some reason, despite being on steam for over a decade and playing hundreds of games, I've never left a review. But I couldn't leave this without reviewing it, so this'll be the first of (hopefully) many. This is a truly special game. The music is beautiful, the characters are relatable and charming, the traversal system is extremely satisfying, the graphics fit the atmosphere perfectly, and it is one of the most wholesome stories I have ever experienced. This is absolutely a must play. Completed it in one sitting, and managed to get all achievements. Now I'm sad that it is over. 10/10.

Initially, I have heard only raving good things about this game. The Youtubers that I watch and my friends have all recommended this game. And they were right! This is an absolutely memorable and charming game. I loved every second of it during my playthrough, and did not want the experience to end like many games tend to make me feel these days! The calming music, the writing of the characters' dialogues that feel so natural, I really resonated with this game's humor as it had made me laugh a couple of times (very rare). Combined with the fluid platforming exploration gameplay, this has resulted in an excellent execution of an otherwise simple story. I fully believe that it was the world around you that makes the game so charming. Furthermore, the music and the ambience. God, the music, it is so good. When the ending music started playing, I couldn't help but shedding some happy tears. I highly recommend this game, it's a bite-sized experience that have resonated with me. It reminded me of a simpler time when I was just a kid with no responsibilities and enjoy with what I have. Additionally, this game also really reminded me another one of my favorite cozy exploration game, Lil' Gator Game! I even found a gator character that looks really similar to Lil' Gator. So cute!
