You had no idea Tendou had feelings for you, and you barely knew you had feelings for Tendou... but you're looking forward to finding out where the trail leads!
After two months giving my all to complete the wonderful project JEIBON started back in 2021, Nature Hike is finally out for Bisexual Visibility Day! But... But I actually didn't mention any of that here, so let me walk back a little:
Hi! It's ya boy Maxi! I've been making a new visual novel! This was actually the first project I ever got to write for professionally outside of The Hayseed Knight. I loved it so much in fact that I also decided to direct the voice acting as well!
Alas, the project never ended up being completed... until a couple of months back, when I finally decided that I NEEDED to finish a project again and I wanted it to be this one!!
And let me say, the writing more than holds up: while the vibe is very different, you'll find everything you loved from THK. The romance, the humor, the gremlinness of it all, and more than anything, the human touch that we need right now.
So if I can go full salesman-y for one moment, ahem...
Get it on Steam or Itch io!
For only $2 USD (less than that, actually! It's 10% off!), you'll get:
A short and sweet cozy visual novel!
Each hiking route takes just about 30 minutes, with a total gameplay time of 1-2 hours depending on your reading speed.
Unforgettable voice-acting!
Tendou's a total dreamboat, and who could be better furry boyfriend material than Sean Chiplock himself?! His soft bass and his charming, vulnerable delivery will immerse you completely in the date.
Hilarious yet poignant writing!
From the Maxi that brought you The Hayseed Knight comes: more romance, more comedy, and just a hint of human drama to tie up this adorable little experience.
Absolutely gorgeous art!
I don't think I need to tell you how good JEIBON's art is, but SHE DESERVES TO HEAR IT ALL THE SAME!
Super chill OST!
You won't stop nodding along the relaxing beats that elevate every scene thanks to Tancla's country-pop inspired guitar score.
Thank you all for supporting my games! I hope I'll be able to continue making all sorts of different experiences like this one.
And one more thank you to JEIBON, for entrusting me with her story and characters all the way back as writer and director in 2021, and once more this time as project owner.
