Play as a hunter or demon in this online multiplayer casual game on PC, where teams clash to wipe out the opposition. Hunters gather scattered charges to fuel attack and protect spells, with protection blocking incoming attacks and lasting longer based on charge levels. Attack spells trigger varied results depending on nearby hunters' status, and candles reveal possessions or demon presence for smarter plays.
Demons possess hunters to hijack their spells, gathering charges to extend possession time while risking self-destruction on poorly timed attacks. Hunters must watch for signs and time strikes carefully to avoid backlash. Casual players who enjoy tense, strategic team eliminations will find the charge-based mind games and possession twists right up their alley.
Overview
The In Between is an online multiplayer game where you play as a hunter or a demon. The goal is simple: eliminate the other team!
Hunter Gameplay
Hunters can cast two spells: attack and protect. To power these spells, hunters must gather charges that are scattered throughout the map. The attack spell requires full charge, while the protect spell only requires some charge and lasts longer the more charge that you have. When protected, attack spells do not affect the hunter. Attack spells can result in four different outcomes:
- If another hunter is nearby and protected, nothing happens.
- If another hunter is nearby and possessed, the demon dies.
- Otherwise, if another hunter is nearby, they die.
- If no other hunter is nearby, the caster dies.
As a hunter, you must be careful with your attack spell. Luckily, candles indicate when a hunter has been possessed and when a demon is nearby. Use them to your advantage!
Demon Gameplay
Demons can possess hunters. When possessing a hunter, a demon can use the hunter's spells. When used by a demon, the attack spell results in similar outcomes. The only difference is that if no other hunter is nearby and the demon casts the attack spell, the demon dies, not the host hunter. To gain more possession time, demons must gather charges, just like hunters do. The only way a demon can kill a hunter is to possess another hunter and use the attack spell.
