## What is Hitchhiker?

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.

As your journey continues, you must decode the events of your past while confronting the dangers that lie ahead. Hitchhiker is a road-trip odyssey about exploring the unknown in order to find yourself.

### 3/5 — I can’t tap the item no more

*2023-12-22*

OK this game is good it’s so fun I don’t drive for one was a killer because why did you have a picture but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about why I can’t touch some items in driver to or take a picture and drive her to I cannot open the book to find Lola because it won’t let me it won’t let me tap on it. I can’t take a picture on the third picture with the sign because I when I tap on it it’s not taking a picture and I keep resetting, and then I had to reset all over because from driver one and when I got to drive or two, I couldn’t open the book in an unacceptable. It’s a good game, but you guys need to stop and let me because I am playing on the iPad. I don’t want to start all over again because of this game.

### 2/5 — It starts out so good…until

*2023-03-28*

I read previous reviews on this game before I managed to play it through myself, and I thought “everyone is saying the same thing, but I definitely would like to see for myself.” I should have heeded these reviews, and not have wasted hours of my time completing this game. There are no resolutions, multiple plot-holes, and an unsatisfactory ending. It ends up making the idea of it being a mystery game seem redundant since it all leads to one inconclusive end. I’m saddened that the developers never came back to this project to add in more possibilities, or even just more gameplay. It has so much potential, but it seems like it was abandoned.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2023-03-19*

So confused on half of what even happen or how any of it ties together. Pretty random, story line got lossed. Like whose half the people and how do they even play a part in the story or why? just nothing was explained and I’m still not even sure what happen at the end? The whole guards and wall thing just got lost halfway through it seems idk just seems unfinished, or like different people worked on each part so they don’t even really make sense or flow together, like why did anything that happened happen? Dream? Magic? What happen to everyone in the story? Just seems like a bunch of stories or conspiracy theories put together into “one” story thing and this is the weird outcome

### 5/5 — Well designed metaphorical game(SPOILERS)

*2023-02-23, version 1.0.59*

I will preface by saying this game isn’t to be taken literally but is designed with hidden messages and clues to a grandiose metaphorical ending. There are a lot of clues along the way that there’s more to it than some stupid damsel in distress(which for some reason many reviews seem upset about?) It only became more and more obvious even before the trunk scene that the character had inner turmoil unrelated to some arbitrary kidnapping and a two dimensional villain. It seemed pretty obvious that it was his fault all along and he was just unknowingly navigating his guilt and denial. Did no one wonder why they didn’t want him to find out? They know he isn’t in danger because it’s obvious he’s dreaming, so it’s clear they know he will find out it was all his fault which is why they say to let it go.

### 4/5 — It’s better than most Apple Arcade crap

*2023-01-21, version 1.0.59*

I will say that this is the best thing to come out of Apple Arcade and the first driver is really inspirational like he humbled me but well the woman was annoying she got on my nerves and I wanted her drive to be over so make her drive more engaging it’s about like everyone else ig it started out really good but then ended terribly like I was so disappointed with the ending like there better be a part 2 to be fair though I put off my home work for 2 days just playing this and hooping so it’s got me by this is coming from someone in college so ig it’s somewhat engaging to some degree

### 3/5 — Disappointing ending

*2022-12-27, version 1.0.59*

I really wanted to enjoy this game but then there was really no point to the whole game in the end….maybe they should come out with another game similar but more in depth where you actually end up solving something in the end

### 2/5 — A Tragic Waste Of Time

*2022-12-26, version 1.0.59*

Hitch Hiker is overly ambitious. It’s honestly just a mess. Most of the “sales points” that they use to market the game are blatantly false and misleading. It’s barely a game and an entry in the “walking simulator” genre of interactive media similar to Firewatch. And just like FIrewatch… it’s just not any fun to play. The amount of interactivity is almost nonexistent and is essentially boiled down to a person telling you to do a thing and then you pointing at it. “Pick that up”. “Put that there.” It’s tedious and unfun.

Most people complain about the story, which isn’t truly a problem. Yes, the story is vague and requires thought, but it’s all there. The true problem is that the story just isn’t very interesting. If you actually explained the story to the people who don’t GET the story, they would be dissapointed. It’s bog standard, JR High levell stuff.

But it IS told in an interesting way. The first fifth of the game is legitimately good and the surrealism is ALMOST worth the time it takes to play teh game. But the tedium of playing the game combined with the fact that the longer the game runs, the worse the story becomes makes it not worth the effort of playing it.

An extremly promising start, but a poor effort. If they make another game, they need to make sure that the story is a story worth telling before anything else.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-11-29, version 1.0.59*

I loved playing this game.  I have played many mobile games that are trash and some that are okay. But this game takes it to the next level. There is an amazing story where you keep losing your memory and have to find your lost girlfriend while hitchhiking. But you can’t trust just anybody, not even yourself. At first I thought that I wouldn’t like it because I don’t really have an interest in point and click games. But after 5 minutes I was drawn in to the mystery. The only problem is that it has an ending that is wholesome but it leaves some holes. You never find out more about the man with many eyes or actually find your girlfriend. But overall, for anyone looking for a great story game for mobile, this is what you’ve been looking for.

### 3/5 — Got sorta confusing

*2022-11-28, version 1.0.59*

The game started out very interesting, one of those games where u have to make the right choice. Then it got… weird. The drivers talk for a very long time and if u want to play it again, there is no “skip dialogue” button so u have to sit through it again. At the end, none of the mysteries were really resolved, like, (spoiler), did the girlfriend actually get kidnapped, or did we get her into a car accident by taking her phone while she was driving? And, she was having an affair right. Overall, a pretty good game, but would not play again, imo.

### 4/5 — HAS POTENTIAL

*2022-09-08, version 1.0.59*

this game has sooo much potential at the enddd. the end was very bad in my opinion like they could have dragged it on a bit & talked more abt the man with the eyes! & could’ve put things in to interact with that whole thing
