Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between
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.

Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between is an introspective freeform game where the player chooses from four late night journeys, slips into a liminal space, and has a unique experience travelling into their own thoughts, guided by the characters they meet along the way.
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?
Bask in a freeform experience that holds space for you and your thoughts – you decide on the direction, the conversations you have are always open ended, and play sessions can be as short as 30 minutes or as long as you like, with many options for replayability. Talk to passengers on a train, walk through a park with your music player, sit with your thoughts on the endless open road, or even fly through a lonely airport terminal.
Discover 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.
Expanding upon the original conceptual short game released in 2014, Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between offers returning players and newcomers even more to experience. This is a game that is here for you now, and in the future, whenever you need to find some spaces between the everyday flow of life.

Reviews
“...a chill as f*** indie title with cool music and quirky visuals. It’s a nice way to wind down a day. But the more time I spend with it, the more I’m able to take stock of where I’ve been and where I’m going.”
Kotaku
“Glitchhikers evokes that exact kind of road trip I took in my early 20s while simultaneously reflecting what turns out to be a universal experience of travelling at night.”
IGN
“If any experience requires an open mind, it’s this one; if the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that we should take a step back, breathe, consider our thoughts, and be more honest with ourselves.”
