A very philosophical and thought provoking story. I think the art style is really good, especially because it becomes quite abstract at times, which also fits the story well. The sound design was also incredible and contributed a lot to the atmosphere. I also think the intentional aspect of having to focus on which character is speaking at certain moments is very well executed.
The Space Between is one of these atmospheric experiences, but something about this "game" really resonated with me. I absolutely adore the art style and vibe it has going for it. The imagery in this, while basic, is so dreamlike and haunting. Something is off about these buildings and rooms but there's also familiar comfort within them. At the same time, there's an uneasy, foreboding sense of dread that lurks beneath everything that perfectly accents its themes. I won't say too much about the story, and some might object to calling it a "story", but I would characterize it as a philosophical meditation on separation and connection (and if that string of words annoys you, you are definitely not going to appreciate this). Another reviewer likens it to a "european artfilm" which is absolutely spot on. I have a couple criticisms, primarily that it is sometimes unclear who is talking (though that honestly could be intentional/symbolic). Plus, it is quite short, taking less than an hour to complete (and there is a really stupid achievement for having the game run for 10 hours), so I'm not a fan of the $5.99 price. On sale however it gets down to $2.39 which I think is absolutely fair for what this is.

It's perfect.
A sentimental slow-burn that asks you to reflect on the barriers you place between yourself and the people around you. It also manages to slowly envelope you in complete dread [spoiler]without employing a SINGLE jumpscare, which even as a jumpscare enjoyer I found damn impressive[/spoiler]. Play if you have an hour to kill and some allotted time to digest it, because it's really quite rich if you meet it at its pace.
1.4h 结束了,游戏性弱,非常美丽的第九艺术。你住在屋子里么?
Excelente juego que explora el dilema de las relaciones con un otro, la necesidad de cercanía y distancia. Lo recomiendo para aquellos que quieran experimentar algo completamente narrativo, confuso, misterioso y atmosférico. El juego dura unos 40 minutos y mantiene una narrativa desconcertante con cambios bruscos de escenas, una atmósfera inquietante y conversaciones existencialistas, todo acompañado con un cierto aire de tristeza. Gradualmente va tomando un clima más cercano al horror, aunque breve. Gráficamente tiene un estilo visual a lo PS1 con un toque de cinta VHS qué le suma mucho a su ambientación. El trabajo sonoro es muy acorde a lo que quiere transmitir la obra. Recomendado si te gustan las experiencias inquietantes con un abordaje psicológico y filosófico.
absolutely loved the music and sound design. the concept is delivered in a pretty unusual way and i really loved what this game tried and succeeded at conveying
Really interesting game! Loved it
This game is an atmospheric masterpiece and just a beautiful piece of personal art. I have mixed feelings on the writing/dialog, but ultimately i at least experience it as very authentic and personal. The game leans very much into hobbyist, amateur and almost outsider art games and i personally love these so very much.
Unnerving, cryptic, and subtle. Slow-burn horror that leaves you with more questions than answers, which I always love to see in horror. The art style alone builds a strong atmosphere, which is amplified by a chilling soundscape. Combined with an enigmatic story that's left up to interpretation, and we're left with a horror game that I doubt will leave my mind anytime soon. Easy recommend.
