FAQ

How do you donate to animal shelters?

We choose shelters that are known to do stellar work and need the money. Dog Gone Seattle has been the default organization we work with because they rescue dogs from across the country in kill-shelters that have struggled finding homes to bring them to Seattle and give them everything they need to get adopted.

Why does the game look pixellated?

Some of our trailers and screenshots show off our Nostalgia Filter, which can be enabled in the settings menu. The default look is a clean 4k/HD cel-shaded look.

Game Background

Before A Corgi’s Cozy Hike, we made Rescue Pets and Rock Miner, two mobile games with a loving fanbase. Inspired by all of the people who fell in love with our mission and games, we wanted to do more, and frankly, we were tired of working on ads and in-app purchases, which is required to make money on mobile. We always wanted to make a PC/console game, but we were worried it could be too large for our skillset - we didn’t know if we could do it.

Inspired by A Short Hike and our experiences visiting West Virginia, one day, we sat down and started working on A Corgi’s Cozy Hike. I’m glad we did. The process was faster than expected, and we quickly fell in love with what we were making, both the fun gameplay and the beautiful stories. After posting videos of our progress daily, we were overjoyed by the kind words received on social media.

By the end of December, we knew A Corgi’s Cozy Hike will be a special experience. We committed to releasing it as a short-but-sweet experience, packed with cuteness, love, and cozy moments.
