Evaluation

Viking Hiking is a free 3D platformer created as a student project by 21 second-year students at Breda University of Applied Sciences, developed over approximately 10 weeks. It launched on Steam on August 18, 2023. The launch post framed the release as the culmination of the project, with no mention of planned updates, future content, or continued development. The store description presents a self-contained experience — a single island to explore, runes to collect, and a clear narrative goal — with no indication of ongoing support or additional content. There have been no developer communications of any kind since the launch post. Given that this was explicitly a time-boxed student project, the game shipped as a finished product and is considered complete as of its release date.

Are you ready to prove yourself worthy in the eyes of the gods?



Bøf can freely explore an entire island. It is up to you to decide which path to take to collect the necessary runes.

Let yourself be carried away by the beauty of this lush but challenging island!
An epic journey awaits you adventurer
