Night Hike

Announcement for the strategic escape rougelite set to release in Q4 of 2026

Night Hike - A mysterious journey to break free from an endless wilderness loop

Players can learn more about Night Hike on Steam and wishlist the game before launch in Q4 of 2026.

Description:
Night Hike is a single-player escape roguelite set in a never-ending wilderness loop. Navigate strange encounters, power your compass and uncover secret trails as you search for a way out of the endless night.

Key Features:

  • Find A Way Out - Choose which path to follow, when to turn back and which risks are worth taking. Every route offers branching opportunities and no two trips will unfold the same way. When the loop resets, so does your progress.
  • Spin Fate In Your Favor -  All sense of direction is lost, but a mysterious compass guides you forward. When the woods tests you, a spin of the needle determines success or failure. Upgrade and modify it to improve your odds and turn uncertainty into strategy as the night grows more unforgiving.
  • You Are Not Alone - Nightfall reveals supernatural encounters and faces in the shadows, but are they friend or foe? Your interactions can shape your journey as much as the trails you choose.
