BETWEEN

"Connection exists in the space you cannot cross."


Note: This experience is designed for 4 players. We recommend playing in fullscreen mode with headphones for full immersion.

About

BETWEEN is an asymmetric multiplayer obstacle-puzzle course inspired by Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. It is an introspective work that explores a singular idea: emotional connection does not always arise from contact, but from timing, distance, and mutual influence.

The project challenges the traditional concept of "cooperation" by removing direct interaction, forcing players to support one another through the void of an abstract emotional space.

The Core Rule

The experience is governed by one absolute law:
If you touch a color that is not your own, you die.

The Experience

  • Indirect Cooperation: Progress is transversal. Activating a lever in your lane may be the only way to save a partner in theirs.
  • Asymmetric Roles: Three players embody Emotions (Blue/Green - Female; Red/Yellow - Male), while one represents Depression—a disruptive force aiming for a breakdown rather than convergence.
  • Dynamic Paths: The sequence of obstacles is randomized every run, ensuring that the journey to the center is never the same twice.

How to Connect

To bridge the distance, you must coordinate with your team:

  1. Host: Create a new game session.
  2. Invite: Share your unique Room Code with 3 friends.
  3. Voice: Join the integrated Voice Chat to sync your movements.
  4. Ready: Everyone must press the "I'm Ready!" button to begin.

AI Disclosure: To bring this abstract world to life within the jam's timeframes, generative AI was used as a collaborative tool for environmental backgrounds, UI elements, and musical textures. These assets were carefully curated and integrated to match the game's specific emotional atmosphere and artistic direction.
