Chapter 6 Complete (of 10 planned chapters)
~35+ hours of content
________________________________________________________
Before you sits an expanse of nothingness. It is an empty chasm that draws the idle mind with a numbing sensation of scale and significance. Dotted across the plains are oases of existence. These patches of land are your bastion from the expanse, but within lies god-like beings that care little for your plight. As these Wills enact their will upon the denizens of the expanse, will you become a plaything in their games and whims? Or will you embrace change and power to stand alongside your friends and allies, whatever consequences may come?
Between is an original RPG developed by 6six6 in RPG Maker MV. Taking inspiration from the Persona series, Xenoblade series, Trails/Kiseki series, and Final Fantasy 14 for story and gameplay mechanics, the game sends the player character into a mysterious world where god-like beings called "Wills" can determine fate and meld reality to their whim.
Over the course of the game, the player traverses a variety of uniquely themed dungeons called an "Oasis", where they must struggle against or embrace transformative elements that range from changing sex, catgirls, fantasy heroes, cyberscapes, and more.
They take part in strategic battles designed around offering engaging combat where tactics in preparation and in-battle decision making are key. No grinding is required, and a large amount of flexibility is provided to develop strategies that are your own rather than being the solution.
Difficulty options are provided, and optional superbosses exist across the game's story for those who want to master the combat and truly challenge themselves.
The game has a number of adult themes and scenes. These are uncommon to be the focus, and the approach would be better described as not shying away from said content when appropriate for the story.
This game has been my passion project since late 2020, and the response to it from the community has pushed me on to keep refining and expanding it as my plan for the story develops in each release. If you are reading this and think this sounds interesting, I sincerely hope you can enjoy it as well!
Comments and feedback can be directed towards me in the Discord (where I'm especially active) and in the comments here.
If you end up liking it and want to see more of my work, all my games take place in the same universe/continuity. These include my collaborative efforts with Icarue. You can find the other released games in the continuity here.
BETWEEN v0.19!
It's complete. Well, the chapter is. I'll keep this brief. The much anticipated finale to chapter 6 is here. It's not the longest update, but its flush with lore and art. Hope you all enjoy it!

This game really won me over, i started playing for a quick fap, got locked in to the story and now I even have over 100 hours in. Your story telling and the thought put in to this story are top notch. Glad to have found this gem.
Thank you for the kind words :D
A short info about the Linux version. I need to get the latest package from https://nwjs.io/ to start.
I do lack a linux setup to test it, but I'll put it on my to-do list to see if I can fix it on my end before releasing.
Thank you for noting.
How do you install the nwjs package? I can download the tar.gz, but then what? Do I replace some of the game files with these?
Download the latest archive from https://nwjs.io/ and extract its contents directly into your game's root folder, overwriting all existing files.
That works for me. I don't know if this is the best way.
I just moved my saves from v0.17.3 to v0.19.0 when I saw that obtaining the chef subclass was made easier in the patch notes but the ramen bowl in the hotel I remember crafting at now only lets me craft mega mixtures A-D so I couldn’t craft the ingredients to make mega mixtures c and d since I didn’t already have those.
Is there actually more than 6 craftable weapons in the game presently I only see the ones from devon while the crafting station says there’s apparently 46 and how would I obtain them? I also have this question regarding the collected recipes? Apparently I only have 46 out of 261.
there’s Jenna’s craftables, too? Maybe it’s too early for that? I’m not fully following what you’re saying
You can skip this first section TLDR: I’m a fool sorry about that one.
Omg… regarding the first question I had. I found the crafting option in the menu I could’ve sworn that was in the hotel only I feel like such an idiot sorry about the first question nvm. I couldn’t find where to craft advanced and expert rations needed in the mega mixture c and mega mixture d in the hotel crafting station. I could’ve sworn that I could craft rations in right next to where to can make shards on the hotel reception, that’s my bad.
As for the second question I was just wondering how I got the collected recipes to go up since I somehow have 44/261 collected recipes and I thought that it was linked to the guides that Jenna upgrades. I have the restaurant tips and tricks guide and the expert field survival guide. Since I don’t understand this stat that appears in the crafting menu period or how there can be so much.
As for the third question which I worded absolutely terribly. I was wondering how to get the crafted weapons stat to go up when the only 6 weapons I know of that you can craft are from Devon outside the hotel guarding the entrance who has the Sabre, bow, shortsword, whip, spear and staff. And was wondering if there actually was 36 other craftable weapons implemented in the game since the crafting menu says 6/46 and how I would obtain them.
Also if you were saying Jenna is able to upgrade weapons and that’s how I get that stat up I think I might be blind since I don’t see it.
I hope I worded this better.
The other recipe collections are with Jenna, yeah. She has two parts to her crafting menu, armor and items. And there aren't any extra craftable weapons added, at the moment
Will there ever be a getting taller tf? Its a bit strange that the only path in the height tfs is to get shorter. I kinda always imagined Liebra being quite tall due to that one image of her looking down on the character from the throne, but might have just been an elevated platform and I guess the appearance transformation of the overlaped?(don't remember about the official term for them) doesn't need to match the wills anyways. But I do still wonder if there are any plans to ever make an Override tall TF for height?
design wise I approached it as starting at max height and reducing potentially via TFs. While I don’t disagree that there’s some opportunity in what you said, I’m also at a point that I try to be very picky about potentially adding new TFs, for the sake of scope management (to be very picky about it means I’ll resist adding more work to my plate unless I’m very convinced I should. the game still has a ton to do after all)
oh, yes understandable. I only asked if there were plans for it, its not really a priority or even necessary. It just seems like a relatively easier TF to implement if you ever need more TFs. I assume the height TFs don't need extra are assets as all of them use the same model and any potential future dialogue mentioning the TF would already need to consider the height decreases anyways so it just adds another case to those. I guess the most complexity would be incorporating the sequence to unlock such a TF(might potentially be possible to integrate with the final height decrease TF as a potential side option). But its just a suggestion, as it might be hassle enough to implement all the other TBD TFs.
I definitely agree that it'd be an easier one to get me across the finish line of considering it, yeah.
There's a few like that to be suggested that I've seriously considered.
But, for now I'm trying to stick to my guns of the "finalized" list I set a while back, lol
Of course, I am mostly just suggesting this because the final height decrease TF is still in TBD state so depending on how your planning to do it might be an opportune location to slide a height increase TF as an extra possible option if the height decrease TF is one of those TFs you get because of your choices. Of course as its still in development I have no idea which method you will use so it might not be as easy to implement if its going to be an item based TF like with the voice or one of the bodyswap TFs or something more exotic.
Mhm. I appreciate the idea and that you enjoyed it enough to even make the suggestion :D
Been stuck on the ch.2 super boss for hours. I just cant figure out what some of the stances want from me. Can anyone give any tips. In particular the green book stance.
I hold my tongue on superbosses, but people have discussed them on the discord
[Ryuji Persona 5 Voice] for real?
Can I port my save from 0.18.2 to 0.19.0?
yes
Damn, 6 chapters done and 4 chapters left to finish... What a journey.
v0.18 is out time for my third playthrough
where can i find the music for the first encounter with noam cuz it's a fricking bangger?
I've the music packs I've used (some free some licensed) in the credits document. If I am surmising the correct one, this would be from Future Steam Punk Collection Vol. 1 or 2 (forget which one). Scene6 / Valkirie as the name
Is there any way to change the difficulty of the game? I chose the easiest mode, but now I kind of regret it.
The game is really good, by the way. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much.
there’s a key item that lets you change it at any time. Happy you’ve enjoyed it!
Don't know if you hear this much, but your game is phenomenal! playing it as a trans-fem brought me back to my "being a guy in denial" phase in the best way possible. at the end of chapter 4 and every single oasis so far has been a euphoric experience! <3
Loving the game, in ch 2 as the princess i feel a missed dialogue opportunity, when penny asked you to go first next time on the rope, the next time you are headed back, if you go first she can see right up your skirt which would make for a funny dialogue moment.
Could someone give me the name for the chapter 3 fight music (when you're fighting in the arena) pls 🙏
its part of the RPG Maker MV Tri music pack
Got it, thanks. I cannot tell you how long it has been stuck in my head lol. You did an amazing job with the music and story btw, I can tell you put a lot of hard work into this project
Thank you for the kind words :)
Music is one of those things that matter a lot to me, so I'm happy its gone well
Is it possible to be male for the entire game? I recently finished chapter one. The prologue honestly wasn't really working for me writing wise, but the writing in chapter 1 was incredible, and has me excited to play the other chapters!
the end of chapter 1 is the last required change. There’s a couple more that are required more on a mechanical level, but you only need to choose one amongst them and there are more unused option. So yes you can technically do a minimum TF run that is still a guy
In regards to overlap points does each class unlock only count as 1 point?
yes
Where is the male to female Tf?
It's the main TF over the course of the game. Optional (mainly via the Liebra Side quests), but spread out over it. Plus more focused TFs have some temporary ones with MtF themes along with other ones in sections of it
out of curiosity is there someone I can look for an more in depth look at the bond link system that answers these questions?
can you only get 5 star bond links once if so how many are?
can you have duplicates of bond links?
This one is whatever and less important:
what's the rates for the shards?
The Game Manual answers a lot in the section about it
4 and 5 star ones are one time only ones. 3 and below can be duplicates.
At least of what I remember off the top of my head for your questions (aka don't remember rates. It varies with type of shard, though)
There is no update in the comments. It's just malware spam
I desperately wish itch.io was better at detecting and deleting those, instead of me needing to do it manually
Yeah I've spent the last hour reporting so many bot comments, on the plus side I have discovered a lot of interesting games
This is separate from my previous comment, I found an interesting bug which I didn't bother to progress further or else I could have broke the game but you can still do Liebra's side quest 5 when you hope in the bed before getting tier 3 classes cause after you finish the quest you teleport to the bed instead of the mind room.
Noted. I think I will intend to not make that available in that section
You should try adding equipment loadouts for people that want to save loadouts for specific classes.
Alas, that has technically limitations that make it unlikely to ever happen. (aka I am not a coder and it'd require notable custom code to make work)
when this game is completed is there any plans on there being a new game plus mechanic (assuming that's possible)?
No plans, but mainly I'm also just far enough away that I've not given that a bunch of thought.
So maybe? I'd have to think about what one could even do to make NG+ interesting
...so the guide says some stuff about LSQ3 that activates in CH4+, if I do it before CH6, does the effect still apply?
I believe that's because the side quest is first available in Ch.4, but continues to be available
So yes
fascinationing, thank you for answering my query.
I just noticed this in the walkthrough which I think you should try to fix.
I have been made aware of it and have a fix on my side for next releases (I think the table in the google doc just got too long and broke on export O.o )
so I may have screwed up, I was following the guide, & thought that to choose for the MC to be solely interested in women, I had to select the options that would give me 2-3 Bisexuality Points, & then talk to Liebra so that the MC could confirm that the interest in Men was only in the memories shown in Liebra SQ4 or something. this brings me to my main question.
how do I edit saves?
wait nvm there's a Chapter skip function
Game so good I am playing it again after completing it yesterday on to reread and understand the lore better.
I think I needed to find a game like this, it helped me think about some stuff I haven't though of before... and it gave me ideas for other stuff.
I am utterly in interest of what the story will show.
I just created this account to say this from how much I liked the game
the kind words are much appreciated.
I hope you continue to enjoy it :)
i discovered this game early in my transition and it was very helpful
I’m happy my efforts could help even in a small way. : )
Is the music of the game uploaded in youtube or somewhere to listen?
it’s acquired/licensed from multiple sources, so no. But at least part of it is available via the in game unlockable jukebox. Battle music at least.
Great game! But I think the "cute face" TF is kinda really ugly tbh. Is there any way to continue the main line TFs without it?
well, custom face portraits are being commissioned. But there is a face swap bonus outfit in the hole, since the face has been more a love it or hate it
Is the Black Knight super boss implemented? The walkthrough says "Rise to Champion Status again" but I can't seem to get it to work.
it is not, no. Just a placeholder in the walkthrough to indicate plans (why it’s WIP or another phrase)
Thank you! Love the game. I probably played it for 200+ hours now. Just wish I could have the Daega Oracle's hairstyle with the tier 3 class armors, it's so pretty lol.
thank you for the kind words
hope you continue to enjoy it into the future :)
Stuck at the Chapter 1 superboss. Started in Normal+... Tried guard, change tactics, but not getting the pattern or the way they act in this one. Extra clue pls.
I avoid giving tips about superbosses, since that's the idea on them.
They're entirely optional. Though I do encourage people to share their strategies (including on the discord, which people have)
Understandable!
bangin' title theme music my various-entities-in-charge-of-the-music-of-this-game. [I've been stuck here for the past few hours because it's too good please help.]
I'm a little confused on how to fully become a full woman in game in the walkthrough it says chapter 5+ i should be able to try. Is there a way to know how much crossover points I have? also if you complete a quest before having the right amount of crossover/acceptance will that lock you out of those changes?
also how do you get more raw power?
5 is the earliest but that requires some optimization. Theres an item in the Hole in the Ground that lets you see some of the more hidden values.
I don’t think any change that has acceptance requirements is part of a completeable quest?
raw power is gotten from story progression from bosses and such. And a few of them from completing party member side quests
Ah I see thank you!
Also how do you deconstruct items? I think I skipped that part.
Start of chapter 3, you get an item that unlocks an option in your normal menu to deconstruct if they can be
Wow... a free game with 40+ hours gameplay/story? Incomplete? Dude... I wish I had your creative streak. I can -not- wait for the next update.
One thing though, can you go back in size of.... goods? Or once you got it, you got it? I just feel it is too much, if that makes sense? (I am weird I know).
appreciate the kind words and hope you continue to enjoy it!
and no, it’s not currently planned to have a way to reverse stuff. I might be convinced to have something near endgame, but can make no promises if I make that choice or not
I guess I will have to start a new game (oh no! :p) and avoid the final tfs..
definitely would recommend keeping saves throughout the story as you go at least
also on an unrelated note: "ond. You're the star qua" Really? That's the text you went with?
I think I’ve written too much to remember what you’re referring to, sorry
Is it possible to play this game lesbian only, and do you choose the protagonist's gender?
Start as male, can TF into female (or not, you choose how far)
And romance options include men and women
what do you mean?
It's downloaded as a website that downloads itself after you open it
Probably because I need to keep the monetization off over Itch's big issues with adult themed content. So it skips that and goes directly to the download
when I tried to download it earlier it gave me an error message, but it worked now
New peak update? Nice, idc if I'm still sick I'm gonna play this as if it's the last thing I do.
this game is on my list to play but im curious if it has any anthro transformations? tfgamesite said it would and i want to know if thats true and what the extent is. hopefully permanent~
Depends how far into anthro you include in that. It has stuff like catgirl and others, for example. And generally those changes are considered more 'drastic'. So they're designed to have areas designed around using them. Like there's a story dungeon where you get that TF and its done by the end. There are permanent TFs, but they aren't the more significant changes like that
Update soon? Or is the Bennett portraits taking a while? I do remember you needed like 300+ of those.
Will the next update feature those? I am itching to make a new playthrough just to see those portrait changes. Good luck if still ongoing.
Oh, the portraits are *not* done, to be clear.
Its a revamp of the entire game's face portrait art, and I showed it 'early' as a way to show more of what I am working on in the background. It's... maybe 2/3rds done overall? It'll be a while yet until the new art gets put in (it'll be one dedicated update)
The reason for the current delay is that I hit a writer's block. I'm still working on the game. Just on other stuff that isn't necessary for the next update (like future dungeons, bosses, or like implementing the new art on a technical level so its ready to drag and drop once done)
Sorry for any confusion there!
Okay, thanks for clarifying. Still good work though, it's fine to take a break.
I was asking because I plan to make a playthrough where Bennett becomes real short and I remember the last class for height was tier 3. Gonna play either way, I'm having RPGM itch again. This game is just that good. :)
It's much appreciated to hear the kind words. I hope you continue to enjoy it. :)
are there way to get more mental change of Bennett accepting his changes (Seriously I love his interaction with Liebra and can't wait to see how they become one).
Choices across the story increase (or don't) increase acceptance. Which add up over time.
How do you use the unity move? I'm on the school mission boss but it just won't show up as an attack.
use basic attacks on 3 characters and then the combo attack is available under tactics as a level 4 combo finisher
I just wanna thank you for that amazing game :) couldn't stop myself from reading :)
Though, I think, weapons deserves some attention, atm it a bit boring - they all the same (among their type) but color
Happy you enjoyed it!
Weapons have some stuff planned later but it is intentionally meant to not be overly complicated so one can have some flexibility in choosing the aesthetics of it
