A 2D, open-world indie combat RPG set in an unstable world parallel to ours. Fight chaotic entities and bosses, explore broken worlds, and collect unique items to customize your loadout. Warp the fabric of time and space, and discover new unstable elements to grow your power and reach victory.
YOU have been chosen by ENTITY ZERO to save THE SPACE BETWEEN, an unstable realm that lies between the atoms of our world. Explore broken realities, fight chaotic bosses, and meet strange characters in this liminal indie combat game!
In a world where the laws of physics are just suggestions, things can get a bit weird. Help Enzo, a boy selected as the 'Chosen One,' on his mission to save The Space Between from imminent disaster, caused by a centuries-long fight between two super-powerful beings. With special abilities like the time-warping 'Instability Dash' and 15 unique 'Unstable Atoms' that can be synthesized with your body to provide strange effects, you can become powerful enough to end the eternal battle and save the world.
Inspired by the magic of liminal spaces, The Space Between is an open-world 2D indie RPG full of entities and bossfights. With over 75 items and weapons to choose from, you can customize your equipment and arsenal to fit any playstyle! Traverse all seven different levels as you explore the remnants of buildings, forests, and entire civilizations. Along the way, you'll receive help from kind souls, fallen foes, and other prophetic messengers.
Enter this world, and seize your chance to be a part of something strange.
