This way leads her to the new discovery – island is a spaceship and all its people live as spirits on it. The heroine starts looking for Mary on the island. With its help she opens the portal between the city and the island. After that she finds a strange artifact from the flying island in Mary’s belongings. Our heroine rides to the orphanage to talk to Mary about her strange dream, but it turns out that she is missing for a couple of days. ![]() The same day our heroine reads the newspaper article about the strange light ray that connected abandoned sky island with the city, and most likely the source of the light was somewhere near the orphanage, where Mary was working then. One day Mary came to the dream of our heroine asking for help. Our main character is an orphan who grew up in the shelter, where she became friends with Mary. Soon everybody got used to it, and island became the central attraction for tourists and looters. Like the the title says, stay in between on this one: try before you buy, and proceed with caution.One day the life of some ordinary city was interrupted by appearance of the flying island, which turned out to be the abandoned homeplace of extraterrestrial civilization. And while the fragmented object scenes perform well, and the comic book-inspired graphics prove quite lovely throughout, there’s simply not enough content, puzzle variety, or cohesion here to warrant an immediate purchase. Ultimately, Inbetween Land suffers right out of the gate from an over-the-top storyline that I can’t see hooking even the most forgiving or imaginative. Functionally, there are also some click recognition and mouse-movement-speed issues within some of the game’s puzzles, as the game makes clicking and dragging some tiles an incredibly slow-moving experience. What definitely isn’t a good thing, however, is the game’s incredibly short length, as you can make your way from beginning to end in less than two hours on the game’s easiest difficulty setting. While these “challenges” fail to hit a difficult sweet spot for pros, it should be noted that this may actually be a good thing for players that are looking for a more casual experience. Worse still, the puzzles that emerge are too often repetitious tile-sliding or rotation tests. Especially after completing the more innovative fragmented object scenes, this gives the game a jilted, almost lazy feeling. In between fragmented object scenes, you’ll collect dozens of “key items,” that are scattered around environments, but will only be given the slightest of opportunities to combine these items into something more useful. Unfortunately, as the game continues, they may prove to be the only highlights. These scenes work well they feel cohesive, unique and are arguably the main highlights of Inbetween Land. ![]() Once you find all of the missing pieces for a particular tool or item, it’s placed back into the environment in an interactive context. In this game’s case, uninspired plotting and overly inspired writing are at least complemented with a mildly engaging take on the genre’s puzzles.įragmented hidden object scenes give you images of items that you’ll need to find scattered about a single scene. Since we’re in the sky, though, we may as well look for a silver lining. Speaking of which, the majority of your time with I nbetween Land will be spent making your way through linear, isolated groups of environments as you track down five separate crystals, one at a time. From the get go, the storyline proves nonsensical, disappointing, and hard to buy into long enough to form connective tissue with the gameplay. Still with me? Moving on: crystals are hidden behind locked doors, magical panels or within crypts, and colorful alien ghosts will guide you through the collection of these shards to eventually save the day…and send the floating island…back…to space?īeyond a test of your suspension of disbelief, Inbetween Land is a test of your patience. ![]() It places you in the role of an average woman, sent to a floating island in the sky where she’s challenged to save her comatose best friend, whose sprit is inexplicably floating around. Inbetween Land is one of those games that will either draw players in or lose them entirely based on its story alone. Discover a world of adventure in Inbetween Land When your childhood friend, Mary, goes missing for a couple of days, you begin searching for clues. In between great and terrible lies a land… a land full of mediocrity.
