You’ve been up and down this mountain probably a thousand times. You know every tunnel, every crevice, every crack in every rock. And a nice story or five, to tell to the tourists who book your hiking tours. So the tour for the married couple who want to let her father relieve some old memories should be smooth sailing, right? There’s always some danger involved, but nothing that’s not manageable. Rampaging Pokemon, paths that are blocked by sudden rockfall, irregular weather or giant unmarked tunnel systems that lead deep into the mountain. Play as Hiker Henry and discover that there lies more beneath the surface of Mount Ygaros than he previously expected.

About

I realize quickly that I actually don’t have too much to say about this game in particular, and I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing. It’s mostly a story-driven adventure, and I’ve been starting to play around with mid-battle scripting a bit to maybe provide some challenging battles along the way, but that’s basically all I want to say for now.

As for the theme of Rebirth… I’m not sure if this counts. I tried to center it around it, but it came out more about immortality than rebirth if you break it down. But I’ll… well, I’ll let the judges judge that.
