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.

The game is basically a walking simulator, but instead of walking you are the passenger of a stranger's car. You're just there for the ride, trying your best to listen to the five drivers you'll be hitching a ride with and figuring out the reason you are there. If you're not particularly fond of story and narrative games, you won't find much enjoyment in Hitchhiker. Mechanically, Hitchhiker is very simple. You can't move and your only way of interaction with the world is inspecting objects around the cars, choosing dialogue responses and solving some very light puzzles a few times.

To me it felt like the narrative of the game started quite strongly from the surreal feel of the conversation, but after the first car it fell a little flat and boring. It breathes in surreal and metaphysical, helped along by a dreamlike state of repeating scenery, occasional on-the-nose road signs with warnings and philosophical meanderings, but breaths out repetitive, too weird and confusing.

In the end though, the game is very interesting and quite pretty to look at. The game is quite short, so it's not a bad game to play and I would recommend it if you get it off at a discount or from a bundle.
