Mental wellness shouldn't be a chore
So we made it epic
How?
We took some of the most effective tools for self-reflection and built them into an immersive experience inspired by Myst and Lord of the Rings.
What?
You begin Betwixt as a “seeker” in a dreamlike world that responds to your emotions and makes real what you think. Your mission is to escape, but to do that, you must connect with yourself.
Why?
This is a journey of self-discovery where reality and imagination collide. Turn the voice in your head into a powerful ally. Co-create the dream world. Be the hero and the author of your own brave new story.
