Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between

Indie· Atmospheric· Philosophical· Stylized

Released Mar 2022

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.

Evaluation

Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between launched on March 31, 2022 as a complete experience. The game shipped with its full complement of four journeys, over sixteen hiker characters, and a soundtrack — all released simultaneously on launch day. The two DLC items listed on the store are both soundtrack releases that shipped on the same day as the game itself, with no unreleased DLC in the listing. Since launch, the developer has issued a handful of patches — primarily bug fixes and minor quality-of-life improvements — with the most recent being a patch on October 9, 2025 that addressed a security issue in Unity and added a button linking to another game. There has been one notable feature patch in April 2024 that adjusted hiker encounter rates, and a content-adjacent patch in March 2023 that added journey descriptions and unlocking improvements. None of these updates introduced named expansions or new narrative content, and no major content releases were recorded post-launch. The developer has made no announcements of upcoming DLC, expansions, or additional content at any point. There is no roadmap, no season pass, and no outstanding commitments. The pattern of updates is consistent with a studio maintaining a shipped, complete product — fixing bugs, updating credits, and keeping the engine current — rather than building toward future content releases. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and remains so.

Evidence

Both DLC items are soundtrack releases that shipped on launch day; no unreleased DLC exists in the store listing.

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.
