Between Two Worlds
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
You and your friends are just normal, run of the mill young adults, enjoying life and friendship. But the game that you've been playing is suddenly very real, with very real impact. Who is that woman in your dreams? What does she want with you? How will you handle yourself?
This is/will be a story heavy game, mixed with the usual adult concepts. The boundary between the real world, and what you thought was your fantasy game world, is falling. Apparently, it isn't fantasy after all? Your choices will determine where the game goes, and yes they will matter.
Between Two Worlds is meant to be an immersive game, with realistic characters. As of Chapter 4, the game has ~4,500 high quality images, and ~160 animations done at full 60fps. To give you an idea, the animations contain a total of nearly 120,000 unique frames!
The penultimate chapter of Between Two Worlds has arrived! It's time to head back to Euchora as we move toward the final conflicts! What paths have your choices led you down? Have you landed on the side of good, or have you succumbed to the temptations of evil?
- Over 1,000 new renders
- 30 new animations
- ~2 hours of additional content, encompassing both primary paths
- Corrections to previous renders, dialogues, and settings
- New Main Menu
- New long awaited NSFW interactions
- Game is now fully translated for Italian, including previous chapters
Between Two Worlds is a ONE time purchase. You do NOT need to buy the new updates each time they come out. Buy it ONE time, and you get ALL future updates included.

Привет можно спросить можно ли будет не убивать эту темную богиню?
Hello, "just" bought the game. And downloaded the APK Version. Unfortunately I see no menu. I can launch the game and name the MC, but afterwards Ivcan't save, load, speed forward, nothing. Is the new apk faulty?
Swipe up to bring up the menu.
I just feel so stupid... Thank You for the fast response.
You're most welcome! Happy to help :)
Hello just bought recently and was playing after the intro to chapter 4 i crashed. I am on android. https://imgur.com/a/4QJlhnY
When did you actually download the game? If it was prior to Sunday the 15th, then the issue has already been fixed but will require a new download.
It was the 13th i purchased it. Ok ill re download thank you!
The android version says 87 days ago was that fix only for the pc and mac versions?
I'm sorry, I didn't see this. Yes, the APK that you get from Itch doesn't change. I only update the remote files on my webserver that the APK downloads from.
Google has a hard limit of 2gb on APK files, and I exceeded that back in Chapter 5. So now it's a downloader instead!
oh I understand now, so completely delete the game and redownload, Not patch. Thanks for the help!
Having the same issue as Azheir85 in regards the Android version 🙁. Trying all sorts of work arounds but no luck 🤷♂️
Heya! I have recompiled the downloader app and had my phone download it directly from Itch rather than just testing locally. After a little tweaking, plus adding a download status bar, I can confirm it is working now. Please try it again!
That's worked perfectly 😁 Thankyou for the quick fix. Now to start playing
And with Emily and Skye, there will be a pregnancy?
Hello a good very great game
So I downloaded the Android version, it starts up and says it will download it to the phone on next tap. It goes to the title screen (without an image) and doesn't do anything? If it's actually downloading it doesn't show it so have no idea how long I should wait lol.
Depending on your wifi speed, give it a little time to download. Not sure why your device isn't showing any kind of status info, but it definitely is programmed to be there.
After a while, just go open the same app again and it should have the game.
Ya...it didn't do anything. And my wifi is 250mb/s. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling still looks the same. This is what it looks like. The first part before this when it explains that it'll download and size stuff it has the background and the redhead there but after I tap to start download it changes to this and that's it. May just wait until I can play on the pc idk lol.
I'm not sure what to do about it :( I've tested it myself on my phone and it works perfectly. This new android package has been downloaded and installed by others 40 times without problem. I'm not sure, but is there a way for you to see if it's even trying to do the download? Basically, what you download from Itch just reaches out to my server to grab all the data files. Google has a hard limit of 2gb of the APK, so anything above that has to be done like this. Games like Genshin Impact do it this way as well.
Yaaa idk, I tried looking to see myself if it was actually doing anything but didn't figure anything out. I'll wait to get on my pc and I'll try a different day, either way I will play lol. Just thought if it'd been ran into there could be a fix I didn't know is all. Otherwise wasn't a complaint cuz I'll just use my pc next time I get online. No biggie thanks for responding though, that's always appreciated lol.

Where can i find the Steam key? there is no claim option on my purchase page.
Hello, I just double checked and there are still plenty of keys in Itch's database. There should be a "Request Key" button on your purchase confirmation page.
It was there for me, but to me the button looks like it'd be grayed out but it still gave me a steam key so it was just how it looked. It was near the bottom of the page underneath all the download buttons, just says claim key or claim steam key somethinglike that. I also did it from my phone, if that changes anything. Haven't tried on my pc so idk. Oh one last thought, if don't see a button but see the words click the words n see if that does anything. 🤷♂️
It was sorted out by itch.io, something was messed up i guess. Ty
Just say I like it that you put a STEAM Key into the Itch Sales. Cause in my Country all NSFW are blacklisted by Steam. They just don´t think about an adult Check that works. They just Blacklist everything. So thank you.
Only reason I came here is because I saw the skip walk of the girl in black with blue hair. So feckin' cute! Reminds me of Minori Kushieda from Toradora!
Hello, I purchased this game but I already own it on steam. Is there a way to get a refund?
Heya! Feel free to reach out to me and I'll take care of you. Email support@droosk.com. I won't ask you to prove anything, I just need your info so I know which payment to refund.
Thanks!
Just a head's up, but I tried to download the Mac version of Chapter 8 and got the PC version instead.
Thanks for letting me know. I've corrected that!
Just started but so far it is very enjoyable. Great writing, very creative story, and good characterization. Thanks!
*edit - also, best movie references! Needs a Kurasawa reference though :-P
Tem uma chave do jogo para eu apresentar ao meu público? Email: gamesdotitio@gmail.com
Hi this game is a harem and it will also be possible to have a separate relationship with Skye and Emily without Hannah so it would be much better and more interesting???
And you can also ask if it will be possible to develop a relationship with the white goddess?
I'm hooked. You've found the sweet spot between fantasy and eros -- it's just SO unfortunate that Patreon has parked their big fat moneybutt on top of your dreams. I want to continue supporting you finacially, but Patreon is making things difficult. I hope you find another more flexible currency. Until then, I wish you well, and want to roll 20 on all your desires!
Ooh, minus 3, that can't be good. Still love the game though!
Heya! I did a +1 for you :) While I love my Patrons, I certainly don't focus on it. I agree with you. The fact that they (and Itch) won't let us adjust our currency rates is really annoying, and it hurts us as devs, you as supporters, and Patreon and Itch as companies.
BTW is available on Steam, with fair currency conversions. I actually review them periodically to make sure they stay in line.
I'm glad you like the game! :)
Just finished my first playthrough, and can honestly say this is in my favorites list for sure, Awesome story so far, and cannot wait for the rest to come out!
Keep up the great work dev!
Thanks for that. You may want to check back this weekend. Chapter 7 is coming :)
I don't know what to say on this. The Android version has a bunch of downloads, and no one has reported a single issue with it. The most common result from Google says that it's likely due to a previous version already being there and having a conflict.
Im currently getting the same error as above, Tried using ADB to install, and its saying that it is failing the install due to no certificates
I'll make a new build tomorrow, see how it goes.
The current chapter is almost certainly the last chapter that will be done for Android, as the game is at the hard 2gb limit for Android APK. I highly suggest getting the Windows version. It can be run on your Android device via the JoiPlay app.
No worries, thankyou
adb: failed to install btw.game-6-universal-release.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed collecting certificates for /data/app/vmdl930550701.tmp/base.apk: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl930550701.tmp/base.apk using APK Signature Scheme v2: integer overflow]
Is there a difference between what's here and what's on steam?
Nothing fundamentally, steam's a little easier to keep up to date also has achievements and a few other steam related things. Itch gives more to the dev. Patreon gives you extra perks however is a continuing investment in the future of the game.
Note buying on itch also gives you a steam key, Patreon also gives you one with the correct levels.
Hello and thank you for the question! As the other person said, the only real differences are in the form of Achievements and Cloud Saving. Though it should be noted that any purchase on Itch will also get you a Steam key.
Seeing as the choices are going to impact gameplay more, I'm really curious... Who actually likes path choices and why?? To me it's either a miss on 20% on the content or a repeat of the 80% already seen. If it's a AAA game with amazing gameplay, Sure. But it's just reading and looking at great pictures. To me it's just not worth it and more annoying. NO HATE FOR THIS VN! It is one of the best I've played and I enjoy what I see, but it is a point I'm curious about. But keep up the great work!
The different paths all have unique dialog options, interactions, and renders, more than just the 1 or 2 renders/dialog changes most other VN game have where choices have no more impact past than the immediate.
Many paths have their own build up and reward making them uniquely entertaining and personally rewarding. Often more than 1 variation of it making even going down the same path substantially different biased on other seemingly inconsequential choices. Like having your own personal GM when you play.
Not for everyone, and most games will train you not to like it, but I like it with this particular game. I also like traveling all the paths, though the darker harem is my fav, but the faithful light versions have some really tender moments and close to a tie for me.
Is a Harem type game? Do you plan to include pregnancy?
Yes is Harem Type

``` that error code happens on android
Thank you! I've fixed the error and updated the apk.
for android can u make the words bigger for the about section, and preferences, the words are too small, for the about section the words are way too small, i was suprised myself when i saw how small the words are
i think the bottom is fine but the words for the top part could be bigger for better understanding, i didnt understand how the words could be so small for the game
any femdom in this game and character name, please?
or dominating personality female character name
Sorry, but there is not :(
So nice I bought it twice. Now I can play it between 2 worlds.
Hey, so Steam just released it and I bought it. Couple questions for you. Does it include Chapter 5? And I’m a person that likes a lot of content on purchased games. I took a chance on your game because it seems it’s going to be a long game. How many hours of content do you think will be the finish product? I figured this type of game should be about 20 hours. Was I way off? 🤣
Thank you! Yes, both the Steam and Itch versions include Chapter 5, as well as all future content. Right now, the plan is for 12 chapters, with at least 20 hours of content for a play through, and 4 possible endings. Each ending will be significant in length in it's own right as well. I will not be doing little 5 minute "and they lived happily ever after" type wrap ups. They will be proper endings.
(Review is for version 4.2. Disclosure: ThorsHamster is a beta tester for Between Two Worlds.)
What happens when the real world and the fantasy world of a tabletop role-playing game begin to bleed into one another? Between Two Worlds is a fun and sometimes sexy romp through the fantasy world envisioned by a group of friends, and promises quite the adventure as the fantasy world begins to intrude on the real world.
STORY AND CHARACTERS ★★★★☆ (4/5)
The story of Between Two Worlds revolves around the main character, his girlfriend, and five other friends, along with a small ensemble of supporting characters. Each of the primary characters is well developed and interesting, and the side characters have been decently fleshed out as well. While the most interesting aspects of Between Two Worlds is the time the friends spend in their fantasy tabletop role-playing game, there is plenty of treatment given to their interactions in real life as well. Each character has their own alter ego within the tabletop game, but their personalities shine through even when they are role-playing. Consequently, between real-life interactions and in-game interactions, each of the characters is very well developed, and the reader is afforded to opportunity to invest in each of them.
The story is still in its relative infancy; as of Chapter 4, the focus has still largely been on baseline character development while laying the foundation for the core elements of the game's plot. While the progression along the main story arc is deliberate, it never feels like it is dragging. There is always something intriguing going on, and the character interactions are a treat, so even basic conversation is made interesting.
Likewise, the progression of sexual relationships proceeds at a deliberate pace. As of Chapter 4, the main character's primary interactions have been with his girlfriend, with quite a few scenes devoted to their sex life. The game promises the opportunity for encounters with other girls, but so far those have been limited to very oblique interactions in the real world and a couple of scenarios in the fantasy world. Note that, because the tabletop game is portrayed through the eyes of the players' alter egos, the sexual encounters are no less titillating than real-world encounters; and it's easy to forget that the whole thing is being narrated with the help of a game master.
Players who are just here for the lewd scenes may be put off by the amount of time the game is taking to expand the main character's scope of sexual activity, but the game strikes a good balance of story and sex while carefully teeing up for more exciting content in both departments.
GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION ★★★★★ (5/5)
Between Two Worlds features beautifully rendered real-world scenes and absolutely stunning fantasy scenes. A lot of attention to detail has been put into the settings and the character's behavior and expressions. The result is a real world that feels grounded and believable, coupled with a fantasy world that is an absolute treat to behold.
Animations are ambitious right out of the gate, and since Chapter 1, the quality has been improving by leaps and bounds. The volume of animations (as a percent of total content) is probably about average when compared to other adult visual novels that include animations at all. All of the sexual encounters contain some animation elements; only one scene fails to apply its animation where it would have been most appreciated. Sex animations are crisp and precise, with good motion and generally no discernible clipping — always appreciated when viewing activities that involve a lot of bodily contact. There are quite a few animations that help drive other parts of the story as well.
All in all, the game delivers some impressive eye candy.
SOUND AND MUSIC ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Between Two Worlds features a modest soundtrack. The music selection is good quality and generally fits the scene well. Sound effects are minimal, but what is there is well designed. Both music and sound are reasonably balanced. There is one ambient backdrop sound that I find rather noisy and distracting, but it is the exception in an otherwise enjoyable soundscape.
Note that the game is largely devoid of generic lewd sounds or other sound effects associated with sexual encounters. Use your imagination. One scene does introduce lewd sounds, but it remains to be seen whether this will become a regular occurrence.
USER EXPERIENCE ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Between Two Worlds is a fairly standard Ren'py experience, with no surprises and little customization beyond visual styling. Consequently, players of other Ren'py-powered visual novels will have no difficulties navigating the game. This is a "choices matter" game, though for many of the choices presented thus far, the impact will not be realized until future chapters. While none of the choices drastically change the overall story arc (that we are aware), a couple of choices already lead to temporary, substantially divergent branches, with entirely different scenes for the player to experience. This makes replays particularly enjoyable.
OVERALL ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Between Two Worlds is a lovingly crafted story with fun characters, rich visuals, and an imaginative story that shows a lot of promise. The sexual content of this adult visual novel is thus far quite enjoyable, although diversity of partners is only slowly forthcoming. Fans of tabletop role-play gaming will particularly appreciate the fantasy adventures that arise during the friends' regular game nights. This is definitely a story to try out!
Chapter 2, which contains both 1 AND 2, is now available for free as a demo download!
I have some feedback for you, I am loving the story and will try and read it all at one go, the is one improvement I would make it to ask can you make the text bigger cos even on my 10" tablet it's a little hard to read and maybe use "( times new roman BOLD )" Font to make it much easier on the eyes,
P.S. keep up the good work and if I think of any that may help once I finished read it I will leave more feedback.
Thank you for this. I will look into possibly using a higher resolution font for the APK build, to make it easier on tablets/phones in future builds.
Sweet !!!
Android release now includes a higher resolution font, should be easier on the eyes :) New update is out now!
I like it a lot so far.
I don't know if anyone else has reported this but when Hannah and Skylar enter Appealing Apparel, the Submissive Maid and Slutty Schoolgirl dialogue has been swapped.
Yeah, its purely a text glitch. The variable itself is set correctly. It'll be fixed in the next update, and will cause no issues with saves.
Great start, loving the animations. Keep up the good work.
Thanks :) I appreciate the kind words!
The Chapter is good so far and i love the visuals. Good work.

Wow, thanks for the video!
You're Welcome

Still in the closet though.
Aaaa-oooooooo
