Between Empty | In-progress
Cross-media Worldcraft | Narrative Game | Multiplayer XR Experience
Between Empty is a multiplayer VR and PC-accessible virtual world inhabited by mirror beings who perceive only through reflections on their bodies—color, shape, and light on their body become their emotions and proof of existence.
Players join as mirror beings, sharing a space where adding or removing mirror shards instantly alters their perception and surroundings. While everyone inhabits the same realm, each player’s view is unique, exploring the interplay between self and environment and the balance of dependence and independence. The PC world-building is complete, and VR development is now underway.

Between Empty is currently in development and seeking funding. We’re expanding it into a spatial, immersive XR experience, with the ultimate goal of crafting a multi-platform narrative that dissolves the boundaries between interaction, embodiment, and storytelling.
