Between Empty is a narrative game set in a surreal world where every being is made of mirrors. These mirror beings can only perceive reality through the reflections cast on their surfaces—color, shape, and light become their emotions and the proof of their existence. Light sustains their awareness, while darkness slowly erodes it.



As a player, you step into the role of a mirror being navigating this fragile world. Using mirror shards embedded in your body—or found throughout the landscape—you explore shifting environments and interact with puzzles that respond to how you see. Removing a mirror shard doesn’t just change your body—it transforms your perception of reality itself.



Through this mechanic, Between Empty invites players to uncover the hidden layers beneath their reflective shells—and encounter mysterious figures who live in the dark, beyond the reach of light.
