Hey everyone, welcome to the early release of the first in a new wave of Games as Lit. 101 content!

This video is about the 2019 game A Short Hike, and how it subverts teenage tropes about technology and nature with its messages about friendship and kindness. You're getting to see it earlier than usual, as I won't be putting up to the public until 1) Jimi finishes the thumbnail, and 2) I also complete the Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective analysis. Hopefully, both of these should take only a few days, at which point the Ghost Trick analysis will go up early as well.

Thanks as always for your support, and I hope you enjoy the video!

A Short Hike: Nature, Cell Phones, and Friendship

A Short Hike is a charming game with a refreshing focus on what actually makes its story work. Let's talk about the role of nature and technology in its story about community, family, and friendship.
