Infinite Orienteering: The Hiker's Path
SteamAbout Infinite Orienteering: The Hiker's Path
The wilderness is waiting. The map is your only guide.
Infinite Orienteering: The Hiker's Path is a realistic navigation simulator that captures the essence of the sport. Dropped into a procedurally generated forest with nothing but a compass and a topographic map, your goal is simple: find the fastest route between control points.
There are no trails to follow. Every ridge, every marsh, and every thicket is a choice. Do you climb over the hill to save distance, or is it faster to run around it? Do you bushwhack through the dense green forest, or take the longer route through the open pine woods?
Endless Exploration
Powered by procedural generation, no two races are ever the same. The game creates unique terrain, vegetation, and water features on the fly, ensuring that you can never memorize the map. Every race is a fresh test of your navigation skills.
Key Features
•
Realistic Navigation: Use your compass to take bearings and your map-reading skills to interpret the terrain, transferable to the real-life skill of navigating with map and compass only.
•
Infinite Maps: Generate billions of unique, open-world environments and courses. Share map seeds with the community if you find a map you like.
•
Standard Mapping: Navigate using authentic topographic maps featuring accurate contours (5m intervals), vegetation density layers, and magnetic north lines, just like a real orienteering event. In the long run we're looking to include most map elements of the International Orienteering Federation's Mapping standard and follow their guidlines closely.
•
Race Your Way: Choose from Sprint, Middle, or Long distance courses, or customize the difficulty to match your skill level. Beat the clock, or go for a nice stroll, your choice.
•
Night Mode: For a challenge, run at night! With only a forehead flashlight to illuminate your way.
•
Replay Analysis: Watch your route after every race. Analyze where you lost time, where you nailed a shortcut, and how you can improve for the next run.
•
3D Replay: Optionally view the map replay in 3D for better terrain readability.
•
Handbook: Become a master orienteer by studying the handbook to improve your technique.
