Attention! We have released the patch update for the game and fixed the game breaking bugs.

IN-BETWEEN is a first-person narrative horror mystery developed by Damn Boi Studios for the 7-Day Pixel Forge Game Jam.

You play as Garv Tomar, a 34-year-old paranormal investigator who has spent over a decade documenting supernatural phenomena and unexplained occurrences. His latest case takes him to the infamous Bandhan Family House, a mansion abandoned after all eight members of the Bandhan family died under mysterious circumstances in a single night.

Known for founding the Bandhan Security Foundation, a company specializing in locks, vaults, and advanced security systems, the family left behind a house filled with sealed rooms, hidden mechanisms, and secrets buried beneath years of grief.
