Certain spaces fit the bill of the word liminal, and one great example is a taxi at night. Riding through a city, with the glow of neon lights cutting through the dark, the rain pouring, and the road stretching on and on, can leave you feeling like you're stuck in some strange kind of limbo. Of course, one thing that can tear you out of that is chatting with the driver, and that's what the game Bird of Passage is all about. 

In this game, you play as a mysterious, spectral person in the late hours of the night in Tokyo, hopping in and out of taxis. Each taxi comes with a different driver, with whom you can chat, piecing together more about your life, what happened to you, and where you're going. It often feels directionless, yet the core of the game is about figuring out exactly where you want to go. 

The intriguing story, combined with some immaculate rainy night vibes, makes this short game one you don't want to miss.
