Player vs Game World

In Valley Peaks, you play a frog who has escaped the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a game you can take at your own pace, a little like A Short Hike, only here you see the world from a first-person perspective. Each mountain in the game is like a puzzle where you need to use the shape of the landscape and your long sticky arms to overcome crumbling rocks, perilous spikes and moving mine carts.

As you progress, you explore the world and get to know the amphibian folks who call Valley Peaks home. You can also join a climbing club for a fresh set of challenges where you fill up stamp cards to earn special equipment like a glider.

The result is a game with a unique tactile approach to climbing. Honing your skills to find inventive ways to reach each peak is highly satisfying. As you do, you discover a beautiful and relaxing miniature world to spend time in.

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Consider time investment

Adventure games often take a long time to finish. Encourage regular breaks to get moving, rest their eyes and balance their time with other activities.

Nurture key skills

Many adventure games incorporate problem solving and critical thinking, important skills for school, work and more offline. Talk to them about their game to see how it supports them and their goals.

Build resilience

Encourage children to take risks with their characters in-game to safely learn potential consequences. Talk about what might happen outside of the game and why it's important to keep those risks in-game only. While playing, encourage them to think about innovative risks their character can take.
