A Short Hike | September 2026 Game of the Month

2026-09-01

A Short Hike is the Memorycard Game of the Month for September.

As the summer comes to an end, we think this game will be a great closer to the season. Ape Out was an intense game, and we wanted to follow it up with something lighter, especially with the barrage of games releasing this month. A Short Hike won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the 2020 Independent Games Festival Awards. It's short, pleasant, and a perfect game to end the summer with.

We're excited to see what everyone thinks!

What is the Game of the Month?

The Game of the Month (GOTM) is a game chosen at the start of every month for Memorycard users to play together. It gives you a chance to play the same game as other gamers, share what you think about it, and maybe try something new.

As long as you set the game to Playing in the current month, you'll get a badge that says GOTM on your "Play history" entry for that game.

What's next?

New GOTMs are announced on the first of each month. Check out your Discover page, this blog, or @memorycardgg.bsky.social on Bluesky to see the latest Game of the Month.
