Hitchhiker - A Mystery Game Reviews

Dull & Boring. Like my neighbour who lives in the basement.

If you're looking for a hitchhiking game, do yourself a huge favor and go play Road: 96 instead. It's way better in every possible way. I recently played this game, and I've already forgotten how it ended. The game is split into 5 sequences with 5 different drivers. You're supposed to piece together your own backstory, but it's quite hard when the sequences are dreamlike and not realistic. There is barely any interaction, except from choosing some dialogue and clicking on a couple of objects. The visuals are good, but it doesn't save the story from not making sense in my opinion.

TL;DR: Enjoyable! This is a really fun game. The graphics are super cool and unique, the music is immersive but doesn't draw all your attention, and the plot line is engaging with great pacing. The puzzles aren't hard, but they do make you think. And it's got a lot of little silly moments and stories that I loved. It's not perfect. The dialogue can be a little stilted and sometimes objects clip each other and look funky. But these don't impact the game's functionality, so it didn't even bother me. The replayability of mystery games usually isn't great, and I'm pleased to say that I'd happily play this one again. The ending is open enough that I'll keep thinking and reinterpreting it. The puzzles aren't so simple that I necessarily remember all the answers to them. And the little stories spaced throughout are fun! Overall, a highly engaging game that's visually interesting too.

Hitchhiker - A Mystery Game is a great narrative game who deserves to be better known. The story is good, the designs are really beautiful and the ambiant is relaxing. I recommend it!!! 💛
