A Short Hike screenshot

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.After working on a role-playing video game, Robinson-Yu decided to create another about hiking, having been inspired to do that by his hiking trips.

Keyboard cheat codes for A Short Hike.

-=Introduction=-
Hey! Since this is a single player game it should be okay to reveal the 
cheats in this game. Some may be neat for speed-running or experimenting,
some are fun to try out after you finished the game. First be sure to 
enable cheat codes by writing the following cammand on your keyboard:

cheatsplz

You should see a little toast in the upper left corner afterwards.

Besides the cheat codes I enlisted here, I've found some that seem to be 
used for development which I omitted from this guide as they don't offer 
much.

Caution: There is a leaderboard for the beachstickball game and some cheats 
disable participation for the particular save file you're playing on. You 
can make a backup of your save file by going to 
"%appdata%/../LocalLow/adamgryu/A Short Hike" and creating a copy of 
the file "GameSaveNew.mountain".
