Real terrain. Real trails. Something else is out there.

Alpine Explorer is a survival hiking game set in the real world. Choose a spot anywhere in the western United States or Alaska, pick a real trail nearby, and start walking. The ground under your boots comes from real elevation and satellite imagery, and the path ahead follows a route people actually hike.

You came out here to leave something behind.

The mountain has other plans.

The trail is real

From the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada to the Rockies and Alaska's wild ranges, the peaks on the horizon are the peaks that are really there. Your journal fills in as you go, with summits, glaciers and the stories behind them.

The weather is not on your side

Conditions change fast above the treeline. A clear morning can turn into a lightning storm in minutes. Find shelter and wait it out, or push on and risk everything.

Night changes everything

When the sun sets, the trail disappears into the dark. Your flashlight cuts a small circle of safety through the black, and you start to notice you aren't alone.

Not everyone you meet is lost

Some hikers have advice. Some have stories. One of them seems to know exactly where you're headed.

Pick a spot. Head out. Don't look back too long.
