Glitchhikers is a surreal journey through the spaces between places. A late night drive, a deserted airport lounge, a moonlit walk through an empty park, a quiet carriage on an overnight train. Who will you meet? What will you talk about? Where will the journey take you? Find yourself along the way.
## About This Game
What do you see up there, when you consider the infinity around us? And as you
wander on your own journey, who are the strange, unworldly others who probe
those questions as they pass like ghosts through your travels? Were they ever
really real?
Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between is about the thoughts that exist between
destinations, the parts of journeys that dominate our time but not our
attention, when our minds wander to parts of ourselves and our world normally
left unexamined. On a late night highway drive, a quiet train car in the early
hours, a walk through a moonlight park, or the endless wait in a deserted
airport, we listen to weird music amid the ambient announcements of delays,
and question our place in the universe.
Inspired by long travel and the stream of consciousness it fosters,
Glitchhikers asks you to look inward. Find the answers to your questions, and
question the answers you receive. Ruminate on life, the universe, our place
and purpose in it. Voyage through a freeform narrative experience, converse
with the endless inevitability, and explore the cosmic, hopeful world you find
yourself in.
A follow up to the critically praised short game released in 2014,
Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between is an expanded experience, reborn and
reimagined.
No pressure, no failure, no optimal path, no journey exactly the same.
Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between is an introspective freeform game where the
player picks a journey, slips into that liminal space and has a unique
experience travelling into their own thoughts, guided by the characters they
meet along the way.
A late night drive, a deserted airport lounge, a moonlit walk through an empty
park, a quiet carriage on an overnight train, a 24-hour convenience store.
Never the ultimate destination, spending time in the inbetween creates a
setting for contemplation and reflection, a mood that exists in these liminal
spaces.
The hikers you meet on each journey will travel with you for a time, offering
thought-provoking conversations, and questioning your place in the universe.
Who will you meet? What will you talk about? Were they real or just a figment
of your imagination?
An extensive original soundtrack full of chill grooves, upbeat wonder, dreamy
synths controlled by your movement through space, and that one busker who
makes you feel right at home: each journey has its own feel.
Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between both expands and dives deeper into the ideas
behind the original Glitchhikers (released as a short conceptual game in
2014), to fully realise the concepts and present a polished and fleshed out
experience to a new generation of players.
