Meet Betwixt, the fantasy text-based game designed to help you master your thoughts and emotions, improve your mental health, relieve stress and anxiety, and find clarity, confidence and calm.
"Captivating. Betwixt is a new direction in mental health."
- Ben Marshall, ex UK government health adviser
Betwixt combines play, storytelling and sound to guide you on an epic journey deep into the recesses of your own mind, making self-care feel like an adventure, rather than a chore.
You can think of it as gamified therapy, a relaxing game for stress or an interactive mood journal, but none of these fully capture the immersive self-exploration experience of Betwixt.

Betwixt’s enchanting story has been designed to empower you to delve into the depths of your psyche and discover the magic of truly, deeply understanding who you are. The greatest journey really is the journey in.

Interesting spin on self help
A narrative driven style of self reflection and activities has made self improvement more appealing to me, so I’m glad I found this niche! Much appreciated for referencing existing psych studies in the articles, really helps.
Finally THANK YOU devs for setting up a “pay for another player with bonuses” system where free players have a chance to unlock the full experience.
TTP
So the game is literally about snowflakes.
It really seems like it’s designed for the tik tok generation that all feel they have to have mental issues because that makes them feel special. The game tries a bunch of hypnotism tricks to induct you and tell you how amazing you actually are.. a great quick fix that helps to give people an even higher sense of entitlement and approval.
Oh and they gave me the option to write what I thought I saw instead of picking one of their pre written options…
I wonder if the devs thought about the TTP for the game and figured people would use the opportunity for that.
Finding that this app helps
I’ve only just started using this app and I already am in love with it and I’m starting to get more comfortable with the style and letting go and enjoying the experience and I’m already feeling like it maybe come part of my everyday routine to to help me check in with myself
Thank you for creating this app
My neurodivergent brain loves it 😊🫶
A beautiful journey of meaning
The app creates a poignant and evocative landscape to ponder and answer questions of myself. It’s helping me go deeper into my psyche and understand myself better
Blown away, it’s beautiful
I’ll try not to sound dramatic, but I’m in tears with how this app has already begun to break emotional barriers I’m trapped by. I’ve tried so many apps to find anything close enough to what I needed, nothing satisfied or even worked for my AuDHD brain. The ADHD wants variables, and my autism needs stability and space to process the world without pressure. Even in traditional therapy, I leave feeling broken, and like I haven’t addressed the actual pain. Betwixt is beautiful, supportive, and validating. This tool provides an immersive experience to explore healing in an individualised way. If nothing else is working for you, or you’re curious, I’d strongly urge you try this journey and see what you uncover. — (also, thanks Betwixt, thank you so much)
Beautiful…and helpful
Different in so many ways to any other mental health / journaling / gratitude app I’ve tried, Betwixt is beautiful and haunting (in a good way) in combining the elements of storytelling, sound, and calming imagery to create an engaging, imaginative, and insightful experience of gaining a greater understanding of oneself. Reminiscent of the game Monument Valley in its look, sound, and feel, it is both style and substance as each chapter provides psychological insights and practical tools to back up the narrative of the storyline. Gorgeous.
Brilliant
This is the best app I’ve ever tried for self awareness and ADHD. The story, the soundtrack and music, the immersive experience of this app is next level - a ground breaker. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.
Amazing mental health app!
I honestly didn’t know what to expect I saw a post on Tik Tok so I decided to give it a try and I couldn’t believe how immersive it was and how it delve so deeply into my inner self I had some real “Wow” moments. Incredible I have been on healing self discovery journey for some time now and have never experienced anything like this. Highly recommend.
Thank you
So much gratitude and respect for the creators of this resource. And honestly, I wouldn’t be able to recommend it enough.
I’d explain it to be like a guided journal. With a focus on emotional literacy, it has you delve into yourself. But perhaps what I’m most impressed by is that it seamlessly provides language to describe the very complex, obscure things that is ‘life.’
It’s hard to know what to do, when you don’t know what you are up against. This app just makes it a little bit easier. And in doing so, it reveals that sometimes the next step is already within us.
Thank you :)
Finally got some sleep…
There’s been several life changing events in my life over recent years and have lost the ability to sleep through the night. Saw this app and tried it last night. I slept so much deeper. Still woke at 3am full of anxiety but ran the relaxation exercise AND ACTUALLY WENT BACK TO SLEEP… I’m so grateful. Have purchased and am looking forward to using this to work through my challenges…
