A JRPG where transformation and identity shape both story and survival
StashlyVN Review
Between, developed by 6six6, is an original RPG built in RPG Maker MV that uses genre-defining mechanics from Persona, Xenoblade, and Final Fantasy XIV to tell a story about change, agency, and self-definition. You're cast into a mysterious expanse populated by god-like beings called "Wills"—entities that reshape reality on a whim—and must navigate through thematically distinct dungeons called "Oases" where transformation becomes both gameplay mechanic and narrative anchor.
The core hook distinguishes itself through mechanical integration: transformations aren't window dressing. As you traverse Oases themed around everything from catgirl fantasy to cybernetic realms to gender-shifting scenarios, these changes directly affect how you approach combat and story. 6six6 has built a tactical battle system that emphasizes preparation and decision-making over stat grinding; difficulty options and optional superbosses let you tailor the challenge without forcing a single "correct" strategy. With 35+ hours across six completed chapters (of ten planned) and flexible character development, the game respects your approach to problem-solving.
The narrative doesn't shy away from adult themes and intimate moments, handled with the same maturity found in the series that inspired it—integrated into character development rather than separated as content. The writing acknowledges LGBTQIA+ identities and experiences as central to the story rather than cosmetic, which carries weight given the transformation-heavy setting. On technical grounds, the RPG Maker MV engine serves the game well across Windows, macOS, and Linux; load times and performance are solid for the scope, though those expecting AAA visual polish should calibrate expectations accordingly.
Pros
- Tactical combat rewards preparation and creative strategy over grinding
- Transformation mechanics meaningfully affect both narrative and gameplay

- Strong narrative structure drawing from acclaimed JRPG series
- Difficulty options let you customize challenge without balance compromise
- 35+ hours of content with more planned chapters to come
- Cross-platform availability (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Cons
- RPG Maker MV visuals may feel dated compared to modern commercial releases
- Early access (chapter 6 of 10) means story isn't complete
- Pacing varies—some may find certain sections slow relative to combat
- Adult content integration not equally woven throughout all chapters
