HitchHiker: A Mystery Game

Don't buy this game expecting a horror experience. It's more of a philosophical story-based mystery game. I think low ratings are from people expecting something else. There are 5 different episodes where you are hitching with different drivers in each. You're trying to solve a mystery about your life. You get to choose your dialogue responses, which yield different responses. My video below only covers the first hitch-hiking experience, but I've so far completed 2 out of 5 of them and I'm very intrigued to see how it ends. I really enjoyed this unique surreal VR experience. You can check out my playthrough of the first episode below for a better idea of what to expect.

First driver (chapter): unique and comforting atmosphere and potentially interesting premise.. Felt a bit frustrated by how minimal my actions and choices mattered though, but still "along for the ride". The driver seemed to talk in riddles that amounted to nothing, but I figured would all come together at some point so I attempted to be attentive even through the monotony. Was relieved when I finally finished the first driver.

Second driver: even more monotonous and at this point the unique scenery that you drive around in circles tested my patience all the while as I looked around the car just in the hopes of an escape. This driver somehow managed to be even be more infuriatingly dull and at one point even admits that his "sage wisdom" that I'd hope would amount to something, was just placating lies. At this point after the myriad of other dead-end "puzzles", useless props you find and expect to mean something, do something, have a point at all!, and the pointless mindnumbing stories I just wanted there to be some kind of discovery that didn't just lead to more questions that I could care less about.

Third driver out of five: Nope I'm done. I thought I was patient enough to at least get to the end to at least make sense of this shallow prosaic alagory, but I chose to just look up what it amounts to. I am glad I did, because apparently it's so vague and unsatisfactory in the guise of trying to be cerebral and letting you come to your own conclusions. Reading a few conclusions by players who managed to labor their way through still made me roll my eyes by how little I cared about the outcome of such unstimulating characters.

This is definitely more of an interactive story then a game. However I still though it was worth playing. The acting was decent. However the gameplay was a little uneven. Chapter 2 made me sick but chapter 3 gave me the motivation to keep going. The puzzle solving was a lot harder then the flat screen version. Not because the puzzles are hard but because the controls rely to much on motion.

It takes forever to intertwined the story but still good.

Just don’t like how it takes so long to get past the translation of the song.

Passive game with minimum interaction and sometimes the dialogues distorted and for someone english is the second language i find it very hard to be engaged in the story.
