About this app

Meet Betwixt, the cozy story-based game that helps you master your thoughts and emotions, improve your mental health and wellbeing, and aid with unwinding anxiety, depression and rumination.

Unlike an AI therapist, a mood tracker or a journal app, Betwixt takes you on a guided immersive adventure deep into the mysteries of your own mind. On this epic inner journey, you’ll reconnect with your wisest self and unlock a whole range of psychological powers:

• Improve your emotional intelligence, self care and coping skills
• Calm your nerves and soothe overwhelming feelings
• Uncover new paths to self improvement, self actualization and growth
• Tap into your subconscious mind through the power of story
• Identify your values to increase your motivation, sense of gratitude and life purpose
• Deepen your self knowledge to help you in overcoming sadness, resentment, low self esteem, fixed mindset, negative perception, insecurities.

💡 WHAT MAKES BETWIXT WORK
Betwixt is a relaxing, de-stressing game that draws on decades of psychology research and therapeutic practice into how we feel, think and behave. It includes tools for emotion regulation and self reflection, journal prompts for mental health, elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness approaches, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Jungian theory and others. Together, these methods work to improve your wellbeing, calm your mind, increase your self esteem and help you deal with challenging emotions.

◆ An immersive experience
In Betwixt, you become the hero (or heroine) of an interactive adventure through a dreamlike world that responds to your thoughts and feelings. We’ve used immersive storytelling and sounds to create an alternative for people who find a CBT diary too dry, and struggle to engage with mindfulness, breathing or counseling apps, emotion trackers and mood journals.

For neurodivergent users, Betwixt stands out among ADHD apps for adults by offering a creative, engaging approach that removes distractions, improves your focus, motivation and mindset without creating digital addiction.

◆ Evidence-based
Independent psychology research shows that Betwixt can significantly reduce anxiety, stress and depression, with effects that can last months. For years, we’ve been working with various therapists and psychology researchers to make the science of wellbeing accessible to anyone. You can find an overview of our research studies and collaborations on our site at https://www.betwixt.life/

Ratings and reviews

The free chapters left me wanting more. Amazing storytelling that encourages self reflection and growth. I really needed an app like this. It's engaging, and while validating, it is also a bit challenging due to that inward looking aspect. I'm rambling, but what I'm trying to say is, it's been a great way to end my night for about a week, and I still want more, which is pretty rare for me in an app like this.

This game...it's honestly more of a way to deep dive into the furthest parts of yourself and learn how to understand them. The music is immersive and complements the dialogue, and the dialogue is really moving..I cannot recommend this enough for people who wish to try and understand themselves and their actions better!

The first couple dreams were interesting and entertaining. I enjoy introspection and having some structure to introspection can be nice. Ultimately though, when I was asked to categorize myself into one of 5 types, I felt pulled out a bit. I picked an option that felt ok at the time, but the questions that followed really didn't resonate with me and there was no way to go back or start the dream over. I think the idea is solid, but my interest plummeted in that moment.
