✦ AI summary

Missing Hiker is a short, free PS1-inspired horror walking simulator that players generally find entertaining despite its simplicity, though some wish for more backstory and explanation behind the stalker's motivations. Common feedback suggests the game successfully delivers some scares and has multiple endings, but feels underdeveloped with abrupt pacing that leaves players wanting more narrative depth and context for why events unfold as they do.

I'm not gonna say this is a bad game, but it's 15 minutes long, and the best part of the game is getting to crash into the car at the start
