Between

Between is a fun puzzle game with a collection of good puzzles. The environments are diverse. The game first takes place in a forest area with a house, but later on the game progresses to a subterranean environment with large machines that you have to operate. What I enjoyed most was setting up all the components to activate the reactor. There are good puzzles in the subterranean environment as well as above the ground. The developer of this game is active in the steam forums, he's responding to feedback from the players and making adjustments to the game if needed. The game runs well and I encountered no bugs. I love puzzle games and I'm glad I found this game, escepcially because it is not well known.

Between offers a collection of well-crafted puzzles set across varied environments. The game opens in a tranquil forest and gradually transitions into an industrial subterranean setting filled with hefty machines to operate. Highlights include the reactor puzzle, which brings a satisfying sense of accomplishment after setting up each component. The game's environments feel distinct, and the challenges remain interesting as you switch from aboveground to the more mechanical underground segments. Most of the puzzles strike a fair balance between logic and exploration, though some interactions with the interface can be unintuitive. The cursor and highlighting system, in particular, can sometimes make it unclear what you’re supposed to interact with, which may lead to a bit of frustration when trying to solve certain tasks. The developer stays active in the Steam forums and is open to feedback, pushing out updates and bug fixes based on player suggestions. I encountered no technical issues myself, and overall performance was smooth. For fans of puzzle games looking for something under the radar, Between is worth a look. Despite some rough edges in its interface, the game’s mys…

honestly, the interface is a PITA. I have a marker in the middle of the screen, but the glow doesn't start there. I circle stuff that i'm told I can circle, but nothing happens. I'm ... done.

I like to support indie games, but the pacing of this game was sloooooooow and the controls super difficult. There was a touch interface I couldn't use (I was on a laptop), and the controls felt super janky overall. The character moves glacially slow--I think most of this game is painstakingly waiting for the character to get from point A to point B. In one case, the game makes you go A to B to A to B to A to B, for no other reason than to add gameplay time, I suspect. I got to one part of the game with the sudden, unexpected introduction of danger/combat (if you can call it that)--I suddenly had to avoid an enemy who I couldn't see or fight? Anyway, it just didn't work for me--I gave it a shot, but if, after nearly an hour, I'm not intrigued by either the story or the gameplay, I go find other things to do.

This "game" (if u can call it that) is so complicated. So many ridiculous things u have to do just to open a door. I gave up after trying to enter home after 1/2 an hr trying without success. I wouldn't get it even if it's free.
