About

Hitchhiker is a mystery game set along lost highways, where your goal is to solve the puzzle of your own backstory. As a hitchhiker with no memory or destination, you catch a series of rides across a strange and beautiful landscape, tracking the mysterious disappearance of a person close to you. Your drivers range from stoic farmers to off-duty waitresses, and each one has a story to tell. Clues appear, alliances emerge, and nothing is quite what it seems.

    A wild ride full of bizarre anecdotes, cryptic characters and gorgeous drives, Hitchhiker – A Mystery Game offers up more than the average road trip, though the dense dialogue and the finale’s sudden ending prevent it from reaching top gear.

    Hitchhiker is an interesting mystery game that may drive you to the edge of your seat. If you’re into solving riddles and finding out more about a remarkable story while not needing to put a lot of effort in it, then this game is perfect for you.

    It is an interesting game but it’s a game that I feel is not suited for everyone. But if you are just looking for a game to escape to. A game that will help you de-stress and just enjoy the visuals that it offers, then I would say this is a game that anyone should be interested in playing.

    While the story is engaging, the game’s technical issues, inconsistent puzzle difficulty, and overall monotonous gameplay makes this a better movie than a game. If you are looking for a game that has you playing a more interactive experience, you should steer clear from Hitchhiker.

    Hitchhiker comes to us from Mad About Pandas and is available on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Apple Arcade, and PC. It’s a surreal-mystery-thriller about a stranger remembering where they came from and where they’re going. If you can get past the technical and limiting issues there’s an interesting and somewhat relaxing experience to be had. Grab your trusty backpack and get on the road again.

    Mad About Pandas had a unique dilemma to tackle: keeping players in the limelight while they're always in the passenger seat. It's a neat concept that earns some of my respect. But the closest example I kept falling back to was Virginia – another narrative adventure I can't recommend. Both have this annoying commitment to deliberate opaqueness as a way to fool themselves into thinking they're deep.
