Our take on Between
The presentation leans heavily on mystery, atmosphere, and a long list of activities, but the core experience remains a first-person puzzle adventure. The reactor sequence receives unusual emphasis, while the broader structure and scale of the journey are left less clear.
What is Between?
Between is a first-person puzzle adventure about Elures, who wakes with amnesia inside a dream world.
A subconscious companion, separated from her consciousness, accompanies her search for a way out. Progress involves interacting with environmental objects, solving varied puzzles, playing mini-games, manipulating time with an artifact, and configuring components to start a nuclear reactor. The game also includes discoveries tied to Isput, collectible bones, references, Easter eggs, and story details about the Between universe. Its interaction system is called TouchInput. The vendor says Elures's fate depends on the player's attentiveness as the journey moves toward awakening.

Between compared to similar games
Between centers on first-person dream exploration, environmental puzzles, mini-games, and story discoveries. Jusant is an action-puzzle climbing game focused on ascending a tall tower, managing stamina, and choosing routes, so its traversal structure differs from Between's puzzle-led dream journey.
