Practically speaking, Glitch is a social game (see sidebar for more detail about the game) about learning how to find and nurture resources, identify and build community, and proselytize to those around you. It’s not about epic, bloody battles. “Rather than you and me fighting each other with swords,” Butterfield explained, “it could be you and me having rival religious factions battling each other for converts.”
Along the way, players level up by completing quests, gaining skills, growing all manner of things, and making their way through a sometimes Mario-esque world of different artistic styles, each of which can be thought of as being inside an individual giant’s memories.
