"The mortifying ordeal of being known"

This is a short narrative game about intimacy, and how uncomfortable it can be to experience. It’s like that meme, the mortifying ordeal of being known in game form. And it also reminded me of how David Cronenberg’s movies, like Crash and Dead Ringers get at intimacy in a very round about way through eroticism. There’s nothing in this that is as explicit, but there is stuff in here that seems erotic. And maybe it isn't really erotic, but that it is confusing and unfamiliar feels poignant. Which I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game try to do, so for that alone I can recommend it, but I can go further and say that it was a cohesive and moody experience that is worth spending just shy of an hour’s worth of your time to either be confused by or, maybe, feel a little seen?

Lygodesma's review of The Space Between

A philosophical game in a liminal space with very peculiar fizzly ps1-graphics. Very interesting! Rn on discount on itch.io. Recommended!
