Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly directed plot may find the freeform structure too open-ended.
- Players looking for fast-paced progression may find reflective travel and open conversations slow.
- Players who prefer a single setting may not want to choose among four different journeys.
Our take on Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between
The game is structured around four late-night journeys, with open-ended conversations and player-chosen direction replacing a fixed route through each experience.
What is Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between?
Choose from four late-night journeys: a drive, an airport lounge, a walk through a park, or an overnight train.
Each takes place in a surreal, in-between space where travelers accompany the player for a time and raise questions about identity, reality, and existence. The experience is freeform: players choose the direction of travel and the conversations they have. Sessions can last 30 minutes or continue for as long as desired. Each journey has its own atmosphere and soundtrack, with music ranging from chill grooves to dreamy synthesizers, some of which respond to movement. The game expands on a conceptual short released in 2014 and offers options for replaying its journeys.
