Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between, developed by Silverstring Media Inc. and published by Fellow Traveller, is a narrative experience that exists in a category few games attempt to occupy—one where the destination is irrelevant, and the emotional resonance of the journey becomes the entire point.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The og car journey's in there, a little more polished up, better interface and graphics, more music, more visuals (though I do also love the original soundtrack), and even some of the same characters you can talk to, and you can also tailor the experience a little more at the uh... main hub area I guess?

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
You see, the "lurching" motion is incredibly nauseating, and this part of the gameplay gave me motion sickness... and yes, I know there's like a huge dot in the middle of the screen designed to alleviate that, but I'm telling you now, it's not working for me.
