COMPLETE: Space Between Worlds

This was another "I saw it on my Discovery Queue and it looked five minutes long and free so eh what the heck" acquisition.

Space Between Worlds bills itself as a minimalist puzzle game about proximity and space between people. It's actually one of those artsy minimalist framework templates for a story of a lifetime, told in minimalist stages that boil down to being in the correct position relating to the stage's title. ("Hug" can be solved by inserting yourself between the two larger squares, "Play" involves chasing and remaining close to an erratically-moving square, etc.)

The Indie Game About Death here is obvious and heavy-handed, but the presentation is neat I guess. If you're in the mood for this then it does a good job being that thing you were probably looking for.
