Take a trip up a Scottish mountain, reconnect with family memories and help delightful strangers along the way in this wonderful game that turns a hike into a charming caper.

What we love: Pine Hearts doesn’t just offer a heart-warming story and a delightful cast of idiosyncratic characters (including an adorable dog you can pet), it challenges you with lovely little puzzles. Maybe you need to find the ingredients for a burger, or dig up some treasure. Pine Hearts is imaginative, detailed and will surprise you with its gentle sense of humour. Prepare to go on a silly monster hunt with burgers for bait!

Quick tip: Even though Pine Hearts is an adorable, tiny world, it’s easy to get lost, so keep checking the map in case you get turned around on its maze-like paths. And keep your eyes peeled – sometimes the items you need to collect are hiding in plain sight or up a tree.

Meet the creator: Pine Hearts is by Hyper Luminal, which is based in Dundee, Scotland. Its other games include medieval party game Big Crown: Showdown and Cloud Jumper, an adventure where you pilot a flying motorbike through a world of strange floating islands.
