I just purchased the bundle and installed short hike on windows 10 64 bit laptop.  the game starts with the car but nothing else works.  I have to use task mamager to stop the game.  What is wrong?

Developer

Hi, can you describe in more detail what is happening? Does the game freeze, or not seem to accept any input? Can you get pass "Press Z to Start"

Hi there, this thread I acknowledge is from a year ago but still hoping this may be seen; I am having the same issue of loading screen purgatory; even with deleting and redownloading the zip folder of the game I bought from the direct Short Hike website.  I can click z to start and click again to hit continue then it's just the car driving with the loading dots at the bottom that never end.

If there's a known fix I would love some help, I was at 19 golden feathers and almost done with all the side quests and the main story, so I would really love it if there's a way to not toss out all the progress.

Hey, really sorry about this issue! Could you send me your log file? This may help me figure out the problem:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\adamgryu\A Short Hike\Player.log

You can email it to:
hello [at] adamgryu.com

I'm having the same issue (same computer type) and it lets you get passed that just stuck at the car moving with a textbox (i forgot the exact words) after you press new game.

same for me, it wont allow me to open it unless done through another app and most dont support the file type and notes was just a bunch of gibberish. it was also really difficult to unzip. 

edit: I figured it out, just delete the file and re-download it! the game is super cute i just finished it.
