Immerse yourself in the world of a cutting-edge 1990s Modern Art Museum, where you're unexpectedly trapped in its surreal, twisting halls. In this unique adventure, your goal is to uncover hidden secrets, decipher cryptic codes, and solve challenging puzzles to escape the museum's mesmerizing maze of contemporary art. Between Two Worlds invites you to explore a future where art and technology collide, offering a one-of-a-kind experience as you unlock doors to freedom and unravel the mysteries that lie within. Step into the unknown and embark on a journey through the dimensions of art today!




Between Two Worlds offers three unique endings, along with a variety of puzzles and hidden secrets to help you escape the museum where you're stuck in time. The first adventurous player to uncover the game’s ultimate true ending will earn a special reward from the developer (details below).

I started working on this game for a game jam in June 2023, mainly as a way to experiment with Construct 3's 3D features, which they added a while back. I’d never made a 3D game before, and since I know Construct really well, I thought it’d be a fun challenge. What started as a small experiment quickly grew into something more, and I realized I wanted to invest more time into it than the game jam deadline would allow.

At its core, the game is about exploring a mid-'90s art museum, but as players dig deeper, they’ll begin to discover that the reality of this world isn’t quite what it seems.

Overall, I’m really happy with how this game has turned out. It features voice acting (generated from text-to-speech but surprisingly good), unique artwork—some created by AI and some by me—multiple endings, and a few secrets that I doubt anyone will find (and yes, that’s a challenge). The game is pretty tough, and it'll probably take a few playthroughs to uncover everything it has to offer.

The competition I just thought would be a good way to get more folks to play. It's going to be a challenge to beat it and get the actual ending, so far nobody who played the game to test it as figured it out fully. All the clues are there, I'll be interested if anyone can do it.

With all my games I welcome any and all feedback and thank you for playing!

I've played for a good bit, think I understand how to slow time, got the first three numbers and the three ways to add time. Right now, where I feel stumped are the music and the maze. I don't really understand what the connection between the radio and the four pictures are (possibly to do with the brute force cutscene), and I have no idea what I can use the maze for. In all honesty, while the game can be very cryptic, I can say that every time I get a bit further it feels like I am starting to understand the game better.

Thank you so much for playing :D Really neat to hear folks experiences and honestly is the best part of this for me, so again thank you! A few hints for you.

1. Knowing how to add time is VERY important to completing the final ending to win the little competition, knowing how to add time is a must.

2. The maze is important, but not to completing the four numbers, but having knowledge of this could help at some point.

3, The BF ending only really only tells you that it is known that you BF the puzzle, it was just something funny I put in after a friend did that and beat the game that way :P

You're on the right track with the radio and the four pictures... maybe just check in on them more :)

Seriously thank you again for taking the time to write a message :) Very cool. If you get the forth number let me know would love to hear about it.

After finding the fourth number(thanks for the hint by the way, gave me a better understanding) and getting what I assume is the default ending, I decided to look elsewhere for hints. Right now, I think I am getting a little closer to understanding the family day code with the ai converting to 19, and I wonder if the earth code may have to deal with converting like family

Oh awesome :D You might be the first one to get the default ending :D Congratulations on that :)

So I can't give away too much, but what I can say is there are obvious things left to do in the museum after you complete this ending, think of everything you have had to do up to this point and then maybe expand on it. You honestly have half of what you need and I mentioned the other half. :)

For anyone playing here are a few hints:

Time is important, but you can get 1 of the 3 endings even if you run out of time, so it's not a 100% fail state, it's only a fail state for 2 of the 3 endings.

On the counter with the computer there is also a radio that you can turn on and off :)

If a painting has a glitched admiration meter, there is something else that needs to be done to check that painting off the list.

Played the game for a good while and got most of the way there but had to stop after I got the first 2 numbers and the false brute force cutscene and running out of time cutscene lol. Spent a good while tryna find what was next but none of it made sense to me, wasn’t sure what the admiration metre was meant to do and one of the notes mentioned music but I couldn’t find anything music related anywhere.

Not a fan of AI Art but you’re solo and wouldn’t be able to make this game without it so it’s not too bad, pretty cool game.

Thank you so much for that feedback :D I feel you about the AI art, the project originally just started as sorta just messing around then turned into this whole thing. A couple of the art pieces where my own, but it's 90% AI, I'd love to do all my own art in there but my style is sorta unique and I wanted a variety.

So I can give you a small hint and it's probably my fault for not making it more obvious. There is a radio on the same counter as the computer :) it's to the right of the desk, just turn that on and maybe something could happen. :D

Also, running out of time only locks you out of the final 3rd ending, you can still get one of the endings, there are also things built into the game if you are preceptive that can help with time... etc.

Thank you so much for playing though, it's really great to get feedback so I appreciate it!

The game is free during the competition, the first person to beat the game and win the award will close the sale. If the game is still $0.00 just beat the game and get the final ending and you win :)
