Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between
Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between is one of those games that stays with you even when you’re not playing it. Random bits of dialog, exchanges you have with its many NPCs about the meaning of life, what it’s like to move on from a painful relationship, queer identity, the pain and grief that often just comes with living, it’s all here. It’s the liminal space game we’ve always wanted to play.
The concept of “liminal space” takes on many meanings in internet culture, sometimes just to refer to creepy photos. But it’s so much more than that, especially if you’re prone to deep, long sessions of wandering contemplation as you move through life. Glitchhikers gets that and has become a companion to those thoughts whether we’re playing the game or not.
Playable On: Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac
