This is an interesting one, while I did enjoy it and I do think it's worth playing, I think it's also very mixed bag, and in a very earnest attempt to be as accessible as possible, it almost undercuts itself. The point of the game is to have interesting, somewhat profound conversations with strangers, from a variety of worlds on a variety of topics and a variety of viewpoints. It wants to lead you to introspection, and while it's not necessarily bad at that, it ends up being a bit flat if you happen to already be an introspective person who has given a lot of thought to the conversations at hand. The concepts breached are generally surface level, meant to be more of a jumping off point or an idea sparker than an in-depth conversation- But the thing is, the best, most interesting conversations in the game don't follow that pattern.

About This Game
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.
