			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People might argue that enough has been said about Sexy Hiking, but I doubt that. It is the dadaist statement of a Czech game designer, unleashed in 2003 to puzzle art snobs and hardcore platform nerds alike. Remember it has been said that <strong>Franz Kafka</strong> couldn&#8217;t have written such intense novels of nightmarish organizations, of absurd rules and imcomprehensible officialdom, hadn&#8217;t it been for all his insurance company work which left his sensitive soul deeply impressed and also in need for a creative outlet?</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-31 alignleft" style="margin: 3px; border: 3px solid black;" title="hiking" src="http://www.56kmodern.com/baggageclaim/hiking.png" alt="hiking" width="319" height="239" /></p>
<p>Well, <a href="http://www.jazzuo.com/games/indexher.htm" target="_blank">Jazzuo</a> is a guy who is obviously taking seafood cooking classes in Japan and dressing up as a yellow ninja. Now, imagine Sexy Hiking to be the creative outcry of a sensitive soul, caught between seafood and ninja masquerade. You are exposed to a world of <strong>wrongness and pain</strong>, and despite the salacious name of the game you are chastely equipped with nothing but a 3D hammer, 3D boots and your ability to glitch gravity. The author does little to help or guide you on your quest:</p>
<blockquote><p>use the humer as if u were really climbing something and ull see</p>
<p>to hang on rope u have to have the left mouse button pressed!</p></blockquote>
<p>Now all there is left for you is to hike, <strong>hike with your hammer, hike over trees</strong>, stone walls, waterfalls, and all the while be careful not to violate the boundaries of this hiking universe: The floor is not always what it seems, and the set of rules to be used against you can be stretched ultimately.</p>
<p>To hike all over to my introduction &#8211; again: Lots of people have already praised the surrealist potential of this game, while others still fail to see it. In my opinion, if I were to name a single game that is honestly kafkaesque in its game mechanics, graphical presentation and general feel, oppressive in its set of rules, yet still giving the player a deceptive feeling of control, it would have to be <a href="http://www.jazzuo.com/games/sexyhands/sexy_hiking/sexyhiking.htm" target="_blank">Sexy Hiking</a>.</p>
