glitch.exe is a psychological hacking horror game that blurs the line between reality and digital simulation. You step into the shoes of an anonymous user who stumbles upon a corrupted file buried deep within the system. What begins as a curious click quickly spiraling into a surreal nightmare where the operating system itself seems to turn against you.
