I've cried plenty of times in my years and years of roleplaying. I've never cried reading the rules before. Glitch is different.
I have never seen a game speak to the soul as directly as Glitch does. Moran has a gift for casting a wide net that somehow feels like a spear directly through your heart and speaking directly to your experience. Each person I've shared this piece of art with has told me in one way or another that they felt like it was written directly for them, and yet we all come from such radically different life experiences.
At it's core, Glitch is a game about radicalization. It's a game about being Othered. It's a game about escaping from a cult. It's a game about being trans. It's a game about being disabled. It's a game about life.
Glitch is a game for the introspective. Glitch is a game for the broken. Glitch is a game for those who are healing, or those who want to heal. It's a game about laying awake in the middle of the night, staring at the ceiling through tear-filled eyes. It's a game about riffing on bad movies with your friends. It is all of these and none of these and it's the game you've always, always wanted.
Let Glitch into your heart. Read it as a novel. Read it as a tabletop. Scream it's praise from the rooftops, gift it to your friends. Love it like I do. I beg you.
