I'm pretty sure they say in the game that Hawk peak is located in Ontario (which is a province of Canada), that probably explains why it seems so Canadian
@@solargaruda gee idk.. maybe because he pertains to his comment on the DS nostalgia feel of it? If you're too young to understand, then look up some old DS games🤦♀️
It was stellar to watch RT play this live. This game’s writing is just so fun and charming, just like the gameplay. Highly recommend this game, especially for such a low price.
correction to what I said in chat: I had 21 feathers because a feather was replaced in the update with the boat race one and I already collected all 20, making my total 21. starting a new file with the newest version means the most you can get is the intended 20
this game makes me cry in two places: the last bit of the artists lament about anxiety about wanting to do stuff that will be accepted and the call at the end. both are so emotional for me, i love this game
Wow. Okay. I was not expecting that phone call at the end to hit me as hard as it did. I lost my mother to Covid back at the start of this crisis. I didn't even know she was sick, because she was doing exactly what the character here was. I was doing exams for my Masters, and she didn't want me to worry. So she didn't tell me. She didn't call when I missed a week without checking in. She knew I was busy, and didn't want to intrude. That weekend, after my exams were done, I didn't call her because I was too burned out and just needed some time. I didn't know. By the time I called her that Monday, it was already too late, and I had missed the last chance I will ever have to talk to her. I haven't even been able to travel back to see my family, since I've been stuck in Ireland this whole time. My birthday is in a few days. This will be the first time in my life I don't get a card from her in the mail, or a phone call over dinner. I don't have many friends, and I'll likely be spending the day alone. I wish she had told me what was happening. I wish I had made that call and told her to just go to the hospital. I wish I could just hold a funeral for her. But I can't. I would climb any mountain in the world to get a chance to speak with her again, and I never will. Please, everyone. Make sure the ones you love know that you care, and tell them when things go wrong. It's better they're worried than to find out they should have been once it's already too late. Edit: Thank you, everyone, for the birthday wishes. It's nice to get them from at least someone, even if it's random internet strangers.
geez, thats....really sad. I cant fathom how heartbroken you were when the news came by. Just, stay strong, alright? Just know, that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long it is.
I'm so sorry about your loss, somehow it really resonated with me. Time is something that many of us really take for granted and we never think of it until we realize that we do have very little of it. Anyways, since you're having a birthday in the coming days, I wish you a good happy birthday in advance and I hope your life will be better for you in the future to come. Even though I'm just some stranger online, I do feel very sorry for your lost and I do hope for the best for whoever you are on the other side of the screen.
Happy birthday friend, heres hoping the future becomes bright and sees you well with many things you can feel warm and happy with. For what its worth Im so sorry for what happened and I hope one day you can come to terms with what happened in some way. But for now, theres no shame in just taking your time with things and processing for as long as you might need. Let it out. One day your warm sun will glow.
God is always putting the prettiest Flowers first. Stay strong my friend and remember the Internet can be a nice place. You can always find someone to talk to you. If you ever feel the need to talk or something we will be there even if we are complete Strangers :)
I watched this video at around 4:50 PM and quickly loaded the game, and at 5 PM you will in fact be given their "historical dish" but without strawberries due to a shortage.
That phone call hit a little too close to home. My own mom is currently dying from leukemia, and we were never really as close as we aught to have been due to family issues and I wish I'd tried to visit and talk to her more...I almost broke down during that call.
I really dont understand how this is still just as entertaining even after watching the stream live and rewatching It the next day after the Grounded stream.... I guess RT is just that talented ;)
Oh boy, the Grounded highlights. After the end card, he shows us his trash can, but he says that the game is really fun, and he may be playing it again very soon.
Hey RT there’s a game I think you and chat would enjoy called “Wait! Life is Beautiful” It can tend to be a little sad but it’s interesting and gives looks on mental health.
This game is so calm and peaceful, I feel a connection with the line "I just haven't gotten around to it yet" Because I make that excuse every day and this makes me want to get up and do something special, even if it's just making others feel better
On one hand, I'm kinda sad I spoiled the "end" of this game for myself but on the other hand, this video was the last push I needed to buy this game. It looks so adorable, but I was afraid I'd get bored of it. Now I can really see it's charm. It's exactly the type of game I'd love to play after a long day.
hope you did end up getting it, it really is its own experience playing it yourself for the first time even if it isnt exactly a game with the most replay value or longevity lol, it is only a short hike afterall
I've been coming back to this video time and time again ever since it was first released. Everything about it is charming, and it helps me reflect on where I currently am in life when things go bad. Honestly, there are a lot of things here that I wish to aspire to be. The one that always deeply resonates with me and one that I remember the most is the artist. As an art major, there have been many nights where I was anxious of the coming morning, of what people want from me. It's far too easy to lose track of creating for myself and not for others, cause in the end, what we do for ourselves inspires the ones that come after us. A continuous cycle of inspiration. Thank you RT for playing this lovely little game.
They basically rendered it once and then used another camera pointed at a low quality the render texture , the game is made with unity or in simpler terms ,they pointed a camera at a camera .
Ahh!! RT I love this game!! Even after completing it entirely, sometimes I start it up just to climb to the top and fly down. It's really adorable and there's so much more story and heart in it than you expect. Talk to EVERY ONE, OVER AND OVER
It's amazing how the pixelated style was just the lowest graphics. Instead of looking like plain crap it actually feels like you're playing a ds game you bought for christmas.
I had never heard of this game so when I got the email from Twitch that RT was streaming "a short hike," I thought Dan was going to bring along the audience on an irl hike & see some nature. But this is great too
Tbh i feared it was another hidden horror game, but it was not. From the vid it seems like it is about how to reach satisfaction in life itself; you set a goal, as small as it may be and you try to acomplish it, and along the way you have fun. And at the End when you rech the peak; you can glide down and remember what all happened; how you cam up there and the fun you had and friends you met. You land back to the roots and with a happy tear go back from where you once came. Beautifull
DDLC was an interesting game but it has a lot to answer for when it comes to making people paranoid of adorable games. I was watching I think it may have been Game Grumps try to play Tiny Bird Garden, which is an incredibly chill game about befriending tiny birds, and every time something unusual happened they started screaming because DDLC had made them so paranoid.
@@BJGvideos tbh i think it was obvious in ddlc when something bad was about to happen i mean sayori confessing her severe depression did foreshadow you letting her hanging there.
I bought this game when I lost my dog. I was grieving pretty deeply because the way I lost him was very traumatic. I literally bought myself a Nintendo switch and then this game and couple other chill easy games just to get my mind off of him. So now this game forever will remind me of that dark time I was in, but with that said, I am also very grateful for this game because it was my little way of grief therapy.
30:30 When I saw this, I couldn't help but remember when we watch "paint dry". We sometimes love a work, not only for itself, but because a certain special someone did it, and it has emotionnal value added to it.
The phone call hurt me so bad. My mother is still around, but her and I always have had that dynamic. She'd never tell me of certain things because she knew I'd worry... I should call her... and my dad
Chat: What about the tuition? RT: uhhhh (not wanting to go back) RT: not everyone gets a happy ending RT, u had enough, you could have payed for his tuition, you had enough money. Now this kid is doomed to be kicked out of college. WTF RT???
he was a scalper ion feel that bad for him ik he got his money anyways because rt still bought all his feathers and he was already committed to scamming for profits and thats always lucrative
I think the crowning glory of this video is at the end, after all of this wholesome, beautiful stuff, the game decides to jump-scare you with the end-screen.
Oh... In the Live Direct Rt read my comment out loud "I invented breathing no need to thank me" when talking about hawk peak inventing toast and stuff, and he laughed and I was really hoping it would be included in the video. Great stream nonetheless
Thanks for showcasing this game! I've been following it since development and the recent boat update was fantastic. I urge everyone to play this game out, get all the hidden stuff, all the npc dialogue etc etc. It's an absolute gem of an indie game.
There’s a fun secret where if you talk to the boat rental guy about the book he’s reading every now and then, he’ll basically give you a whole substory about the book series
As someone who lives on the other side of the world and never gets to catch RT's streams live, I get super excited when I see videos as long as this. Love how I get to see more content without having to watch hours of streams too because I've had less time since I got a job. Hoping for longer videos RT thanks for this!!!
I absolutely love this art style. I’ve always loved pixel art but I didn’t realise it could be this beautiful. I might start making some pixel art masterpieces of my very own. Thank you for exposing me to this amazing game RT.
I want you to know this is my comfort video and I have watched this video about 10 times now and it makes me relax unlike anything else. I think you are an awesome content creator and you have helped me through some tough moments in life thank you.
@@thebestone8872 but what do we count as a country if a part of another country says it is a country and makes laws do we count them as well or do we just count UN recognised countries?
This almost made me cry dude. Call me a baby or whatever, but it was so sweet when she called her mom and found out everything was fine. It makes me think of my mom and how much I love her. She's my best friend and I'm really blessed to have her. I hope y'all appreciate your moms while they're still here :3 💗
I love that the point of this game is that you go to an island to get away from your stresses for a while. And that's exactly what this game does for the players
This video was the reason I bought this game and then I played it and it was excellent. On the shorter side but that's not a bad thing, sometimes a game that only occupies one afternoon is perfect
Wow, this story really resonates with me. A year ago my mom got in a skiing accident and needed surgery, that summer I went to a summer camp about 2,000 miles away in New Mexico. I was climbing a mountain when I got the news that my mom's surgery finished with no problems and there at the peak I got enough reception to get to talk to her.
This game was so great. I am glad I took time to watch it. I am also glad that this video wasn't total chaos like a lot of the fans tried to make it. I am glad Daniel was able to bring it back and center it to just the game, and not anything that was out of place. Just enjoying it for itself. That's how I like people to enjoy games like this. One step at a time, not too worked up, like Animal Crossing. This game was beautiful, and I wish I could play it for myself. Thanks RT, for the content, and everything you do to make sure we are entertained, in quarantine and out. ♡
Aw, my favorite joke from this game isn't in the video. If you pay off the dude's student loans, he gives you the goat's watch, saying he was gonna sell it on the internet, just like the goat feared.
I really love this game, I've been looking for something peaceful and chill for the Switch (that doesn't take place in real time) and this is exactly what I've had in mind.
I’m not even a gamer and I loved this game. Stress free exploring, but plenty to do so it stay interesting. Cute story and really no way of messing up. The map felt very big too and I genuinely just loved the vibes of exploring such a cute island.
Watching this live was amazing! It has to probably be one of my most favourite streams ever. I was able to relate to some of the things in the game and the music was so beautiful. Also Rt playing the game made it too! I loved all the quips and I really appreciate how the video is a longer one too.
When I saw this game, it took so much effort for me to stay away from this video until I finally played the game for myself, and in all honesty, I'm glad I did that. It felt amazing to experience everything on my own, and I'm excited to watch this video nos
I really loved playing this and I hope you guys enjoy it too. Game is like 5 quid on Steam and Switch

Yeah, you can get rid of the pixels if you want to. Great game btw finished yesterday

the little gasps he does whenever the character goes !! / ?! is so cute lmao
The phone call hurt me so bad. My mother is still around, but her and I always have had that dynamic. She'd never tell me of certain things because she knew I'd worry...
I should call her... and my dad
i don’t know why but the “rolex watch” part got me
19:38 imagine you're just playing sand volleyball and a random guy tokyo drifts a whole boat through the sand and yells "HEY FRIENDS" on the way past
I think you mean Beachstickball, volleyball is like, so yesterday
Chat: What about the tuition?
RT: uhhhh (not wanting to go back)
RT: not everyone gets a happy ending
RT, u had enough, you could have payed for his tuition, you had enough money. Now this kid is doomed to be kicked out of college. WTF RT???
Kid stole stuff, clearly doesn't deserve college.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 he didn’t steal anything, he just scalped feathers
he was a scalper ion feel that bad for him ik he got his money anyways because rt still bought all his feathers and he was already committed to scamming for profits and thats always lucrative
This game jumpscared RT more effectively than five nights at freddie’s did
Oh man that was beautiful. I had tears filling my eyes from the phonecall, right until RT said “I’m flying to the graveyard!”
I love this channel.
Sailing class in school was the bane of my existence, I fucking hated it.
I got smacked over the head by literally anything and everything.
I think the crowning glory of this video is at the end, after all of this wholesome, beautiful stuff, the game decides to jump-scare you with the end-screen.
the dialogue in this game has me actually laughing out loud I love this
Oh... In the Live Direct Rt read my comment out loud "I invented breathing no need to thank me" when talking about hawk peak inventing toast and stuff, and he laughed and I was really hoping it would be included in the video. Great stream nonetheless
Hey, at least you made him laugh. Always think of the positives!
@@fatpikachu1712 Yeah you're right.
@@jorgemtzb9359 :)
Whenever I'm sad or overwhelmed I watch this video, this game calms me down so much
This game reminds me a lot of Night in the Woods, but more heartwarming and less dread-invoking.
I beat this game by just Skyriming up the mountain. Four feathers and a lot of cheese.
i don’t think this game is meant to be “beaten” dude it’s meant to be experienced 😭
but everyone has their own play styles
So this game is like “A Night In The Woods”, huh? Loved that game!
Thanks for showcasing this game! I've been following it since development and the recent boat update was fantastic. I urge everyone to play this game out, get all the hidden stuff, all the npc dialogue etc etc. It's an absolute gem of an indie game.
Mae, Bea, Gregg, and Angus: *being chased by a literal cult*
Germ:
I-I was not expecting to be hit by that ending, I loved it.
Title: A Short Hike
Video: Possibly the longest RT has ever uploaded
Nope, he's uploaded 4 hours before.
I cried because the convo between the mom and kid reminds me so much of my mom and I ever since I left for college.
crying over that phone call, it’s so sweet & genuine
There’s a fun secret where if you talk to the boat rental guy about the book he’s reading every now and then, he’ll basically give you a whole substory about the book series
This is one of the most wholesome games I ever player, and I legit was in tears when I finally received that phone call... Glad you enjoyed it too, RT
As someone who lives on the other side of the world and never gets to catch RT's streams live, I get super excited when I see videos as long as this. Love how I get to see more content without having to watch hours of streams too because I've had less time since I got a job. Hoping for longer videos RT thanks for this!!!
I absolutely love this art style. I’ve always loved pixel art but I didn’t realise it could be this beautiful. I might start making some pixel art masterpieces of my very own. Thank you for exposing me to this amazing game RT.
The turtle and the rabbit in a marathon I just got the reference.
Wow this legit almost made me cry. Thank you for bringing this into my life, Daniel.
I want you to know this is my comfort video and I have watched this video about 10 times now and it makes me relax unlike anything else. I think you are an awesome content creator and you have helped me through some tough moments in life thank you.
Oh you're a lawyer are ya? Name every law
What country?
@@totallyahuman5055 A L L O F T H E M
@@thebestone8872 but what do we count as a country if a part of another country says it is a country and makes laws do we count them as well or do we just count UN recognised countries?
@@totallyahuman5055 Any law you can think of, name it and then you're a lawyer
The scariest part of the stream was the Strawberries and Toast. The scary part is not that it's famous, it's infamous
This almost made me cry dude. Call me a baby or whatever, but it was so sweet when she called her mom and found out everything was fine. It makes me think of my mom and how much I love her. She's my best friend and I'm really blessed to have her. I hope y'all appreciate your moms while they're still here :3 💗
I love that the point of this game is that you go to an island to get away from your stresses for a while. And that's exactly what this game does for the players
This video was the reason I bought this game
and then I played it and it was excellent. On the shorter side but that's not a bad thing, sometimes a game that only occupies one afternoon is perfect
I love this game, the dialogue feels a lot like how the interactions in Night in The Woods does
Wow, this story really resonates with me. A year ago my mom got in a skiing accident and needed surgery, that summer I went to a summer camp about 2,000 miles away in New Mexico. I was climbing a mountain when I got the news that my mom's surgery finished with no problems and there at the peak I got enough reception to get to talk to her.
This game was so great. I am glad I took time to watch it. I am also glad that this video wasn't total chaos like a lot of the fans tried to make it. I am glad Daniel was able to bring it back and center it to just the game, and not anything that was out of place. Just enjoying it for itself. That's how I like people to enjoy games like this. One step at a time, not too worked up, like Animal Crossing. This game was beautiful, and I wish I could play it for myself.
Thanks RT, for the content, and everything you do to make sure we are entertained, in quarantine and out. ♡
The only game where the lowest graphics settings are actually better then the highest ones
this game is SO cute, my god. amazing.
Aw, my favorite joke from this game isn't in the video. If you pay off the dude's student loans, he gives you the goat's watch, saying he was gonna sell it on the internet, just like the goat feared.
I really love this game, I've been looking for something peaceful and chill for the Switch (that doesn't take place in real time) and this is exactly what I've had in mind.
I’m not even a gamer and I loved this game. Stress free exploring, but plenty to do so it stay interesting. Cute story and really no way of messing up. The map felt very big too and I genuinely just loved the vibes of exploring such a cute island.
RT this is exactly why I watch you, "Hey I could take you out" *abandons kid in the middle of a lake* "hey how's it goin'"
21:20 - Did that once. Wood carved deep into the palm of my hand.
Never handled wood without gloves afterwards.
Watching this live was amazing! It has to probably be one of my most favourite streams ever. I was able to relate to some of the things in the game and the music was so beautiful. Also Rt playing the game made it too! I loved all the quips and I really appreciate how the video is a longer one too.
When I saw this game, it took so much effort for me to stay away from this video until I finally played the game for myself, and in all honesty, I'm glad I did that. It felt amazing to experience everything on my own, and I'm excited to watch this video nos
I love how he just straight up abandons the kid at the end
dude i fucking cried at the end.. it was so sweet oh my gosh
