Genre: Simulation
Summary: A late-night drive prompts some philosophical pondering.
Gameplay: You can change the speed of the car and change lanes as well as look to your right and left. You can also choose responses in dialogue. Fortunately the driving itself is automatic.
Style: The sleek angular style and garish colors helps with the otherworldly atmosphere. Naturally, the music evokes (as it must) "Echoes" or "Hearts of Space."
Story: Elements are mixed and added a bit so the story is a bit different each time, which also helps capture the strange feeling of driving alone at night under the weight of strange thoughts. Is this hitchhiker a stoner, an alien, or a figment of the driver's imagination? Up to you to decide, as is your takeaway from any philosophical discussion. It might just be a relaxing drive.
Conclusion: More of an experience, "Glitchhikers" intriguingly recalls dark nights musing to New Age music.
