01/21/2023 at 1:15 p.m. by Alexander Pensler – Yesterday the New Year Sale 2023 started on GOG. At the start of the campaign, the sales platform is giving away a small indie game for a total of 72 hours, which is strikingly reminiscent of the great “A Short Hike” and Animal Crossing.
After various sales on Steam, GOG.com is now starting a new sales campaign in the new year. Since yesterday, January 20th and until January 30th, 2023, the promotion is still running. As part of the “GOG New Year Sale 2023”, players willing to save can expect more than 3,000 discounts of up to 90%. At the start of this event, the indie game “Haven Park” is available free of charge, but only for a short time: The free campaign ends after a total of 72 hours, i.e. on Monday, January 23rd.
A Short Hike meets Animal Crossing
Haven Park is an action RPG single-handedly developed by Swiss Fabien Weibel. This indie title is about keeping grandma’s park running as a little chick. The first thing that comes to mind is Nintendo’s Animal Crossing, but similarities with the independent gem “A Short Hike” cannot be denied. Haven Park playtime is 3-4 hours according to Howlongtobeat.com. Metacritic certifies the title a score of 6.8/10, the players rate it a little more generously with 7.7/10.
