My first time through Glitchhikers, I felt at peace. Driving down the road, having abstract conversations about existence with other worldly beings, it was comfortable. The game told me the destination didn’t matter and asked why the reason did. The eerie landscape, haunting music, and strange creatures all felt like a night curled under blankets talking about life with friends. It was a combination of my favorite things. They were just real people distilled down into existentialist conversations. So I had to share it.
