Smushi Come Home is essentially A Short Hike with a mushroom protagonist and slightly less polish. That comparison is meant honestly, not dismissively. If you finished A Short Hike and wanted more of exactly that feeling, small-scale freeform exploration with gliding and gentle chatting and zero combat, Smushi is a natural next stop. It did not crack the top ten because A Short Hike edges it on both quality and personality. But it is a solid cozy recommendation in its own right, particularly for players who want a bit more to explore before the credits roll.
