❤ Navigating the Trail with Cards

The core gameplay revolves around building a deck of hiking cards, each featuring a combination of "Hike" and "Care" values. "Hike" represents the distance you can travel, while "Care" mitigates the fatigue and difficulty of the trail. Each turn, you must strategically choose which card to play, balancing the need for speed with the necessity of conserving energy.

❤ Adaptable Deck-Building

As you progress through the different mountain stations, you have the opportunity to acquire new hiking cards and "gears" (equipment) that enhance your climbing abilities. This deck-building aspect adds an element of strategy, as you must consider how to optimize your deck for the challenges ahead. The randomized nature of the card and gear choices encourages experimentation with different deck-building strategies.

❤ Escalating Challenges and Exploration

The game starts off relatively easy, allowing you to comfortably reach the summits of the early mountains. However, as you progress, the trails become increasingly treacherous, and you must adapt your deck-building strategies to overcome the growing challenges, such as more demanding terrain and environmental conditions.

❤ Charming and Relaxing Experience

One of the game's key strengths is its relaxing and charming atmosphere. The whimsical art style, accompanied by a soothing soundtrack, creates a calming and immersive experience. The focus on hiking and exploration, rather than combat, further contributes to the game's laid-back and contemplative nature.

❤ Accessibility and Replayability

The game is praised for its accessibility, making it a great entry point for players new to the roguelike deckbuilding genre. The simple and intuitive mechanics, coupled with the game's forgiving nature, allow players of all skill levels to enjoy the experience and gradually improve their strategies over time. While the main campaign may be relatively short, the ability to unlock additional mountains and a second playable character with a unique playstyle adds to the game's replayability, encouraging players to continue their mountain-climbing adventures.
