Between the Stacks is a short atmospheric survival game built for the Tiny Game Jam hosted by GameDev Insiders.

You play as a mystic librarian trapped between two overlapping versions of a haunted library.

  • World A appears calm and orderly — but it is where danger lurks.

  • World B looks broken and hostile — yet offers safety and recovery.

Possessed books hunt you through the stacks. Defeating them weakens a gate, sealing away a forbidden tome. Shifting between worlds is the only way to survive long enough to reach it.

The library is watching.
Do not trust your eyes.
