Glitchia

Glitchia is a horror adventure in which a glitching retro 2D game begins to affect the 3D space around you. You play an unstable game cartridge given to you by someone you do not fully understand, and your actions distort its world. As corruption spreads, disturbing shapes appear and hidden things emerge when you push the game further into chaos.

Aby’s story

The cartridge contains the adventure of Aby, a dreaming familiar and the protagonist of an abandoned series. He was left in the wrong ending, and you can try to bring him back. As your connection to Aby becomes clear, the story unfolds; finding keepsakes hidden in the game changes him as the series goes on.

The room and the spirits

At first, the place around you looks like your room, but a black space lies behind you, where something is watching. Keep playing the retro game and respond as the signs draw closer: turn around at the right moment to drive the spirits away. Sometimes, doing so works in your favor.

Game Overs and secrets

The retro games include mechanics, tricks and surprises beyond their horror elements. They have dozens of unique Game Overs, presented through events, still images and effects. A gallery records every Game Over you have seen, and you can collect coins to unlock hints about how to discover them.

Coins and unlocks

You can spend coins in the in-game shop on items that make the game easier or help you collect Game Overs, lore files about the characters and world, and special hints for when you are stuck. Some hints contain mild spoilers. The game also lists planned bonus content, including guest illustrations and special works by artists and manga creators.
