Gnarly Hike is a first-person psychological horror game.



Explore an eerie forest in a slow-paced, atmospheric world combining beautiful and horrifying scenery along with the constant fear of being hunted, and enjoy a genuinely terrifying experience.

The Game in a nutshell...


The game is set in a forest environment, filled with clues as to what is happening, as well as a Cabin, a Chapel, a Cave, a Hidden Burial Site and a Tower. You will have to investigate all those locations in order to uncover the dark secrets the forest holds, while being hunted by a powerful beast!

Investigate

There are many settings, each with its own variety of details and clues to be uncovered.

Solve puzzles

Like every psychological horror game that takes itself seriously, Gnarly Hike contains multiple puzzles, ranging from easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy to "Oh my God dude, hurry up, it's coming, the code is ___"

Perform rituals

This game revolves around the supernatural. Therefore, you will have to perform a number of rituals and spells to make progress in the latter parts of the game.

Shoot guns

When spells and rituals don't do the trick, you can always trust your guns to keep the beast at bay long enough for you to escape

Run and Hide

Sometimes, guns and spells just don't do the job...so if nothing else works, maybe it's better to just avoid the beast!



...and stay alive!
