Our take on Marlene Betwixt
The bounce point arrives when investigation and pursuit overlap: players must work through environmental tasks and puzzles while a mysterious figure remains on their trail. Those looking for a relaxed exploration pace may stop there, as the central structure keeps tension tied to progress.
What is Marlene Betwixt?
Investigate the disappearance of Marlene as Ewan Brody, who travels to his estranged sister’s remote cottage after hearing that his niece is missing.
The game combines psychological horror with environmental tasks, puzzle solving, and object manipulation. A mysterious figure pursues Ewan while he searches the cottage and surrounding setting for clues about the family’s supernatural situation. It was built as a room-scale VR experience for HTC Vive and Oculus Touch, but can also be played without a VR headset using a gamepad or mouse and keyboard. Visual and audio elements support its horror presentation, with headphones advised for the audio experience. The BETWIXT update adds graphical changes, additional gameplay, and further surprises.
