About Glitch

Glitch is a hand-drawn adventure game by Bulbo Games that dropped on October 30 2025. It’s a single-player experience where every decision branches the story toward one of 26 endings. The game thrives on ambiguity and surrealism blending disjointed visuals with a nonlinear script. Set in a fragmented world it tasks you with piecing together a disjointed narrative through environmental clues and dialogue choices. The PC-only title leans into indie experimentation with a runtime that averages 8 hours but demands multiple playthroughs to unlock its full narrative.

Gameplay

You navigate Glitch by clicking to progress through dialogue and explore environments. The core loop mixes inventory-based puzzles with branching dialogue trees where each choice alters the trajectory of the story. The game’s strength lies in its layered writing and visual gags, characters flicker between forms and scenes bleed into each other. A typical session involves backtracking to earlier decisions to trigger alternate outcomes. Combat is absent but tension builds through narrative twists and time-sensitive choices. The art style feels deliberately crude with jagged lines and abrupt color shifts that mirror the game’s thematic dissonance.

What Players Think

PlayPile data shows a 8.2/10 average from 12K ratings with 68% completion rate. Players report 7.8 average playtime but 42% spend over 15 hours due to multiple endings. Community moods skew curious (37%) and uneasy (29%). One review notes “the story clicks together like a puzzle you didn’t realize you were solving” while another complains “the pacing drags in the third act.” 73% of players with achievements unlocked 12+ endings. Critics praise the ambition but 24% of reviews cite “overly opaque” set pieces.

PlayPile's Take

Glitch is best for players who thrive on narrative experimentation. At $29.99 it offers decent value for the replayability but its 128 achievements feel underwhelmingly easy. The fragmented structure will frustrate linear thinkers but fans of games like Oxenfree or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter may appreciate the abstract storytelling. Skip if you prefer clear objectives, it’s a game that rewards patience more than skill.
