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/

A strange app. It presents itself as a CYOA game for anti anxiety and depression, but the choices are limited and restrictive, the story has distracting typos and repetitions and over a week of playing my mood has gotten noticeably worse. Seems like the editing needs some effort. The graphics are flat and the music is glitchy and odd. I also can't seem to find the statistics for depression and anxiety that are advertised: from my personal experience so far they seem hard to believe.

Nice idea but too limiting. Audio options would be much easier for those with Neurodivergent tendencies such as dyslexia and ADHD as reading is just so hard to get immersed with already. AI prompt forced also which didn't work with some answers. Biggest issue though is the options. Pick one that doesn't resonate, because they are so vaguely titled & you can't go back so you're stuck with that affecting the "journey". Plus, you get all the way past the intro to then be made to sign up.

I’m very sorry to hear you had this experience, but happy to report that many of these edits are either fixed or on the way: Signup issue: we think you must have missed the “I need to continue for free” button Undo button: this will be released v soon Audio version: this is on our wish list. It’s not a small job but one we’re keen to invest in

I found this to be so much more than I imagined. I haven't paid for the app (yet) but even on the free tier I was able to complete the story/dream journey and get huge benefit from it. It's very similar to a Choose Your Own Adventure story, but with added sound and therapeutic elements. These are woven in beautifully, don't feel forced and are genuinely insightful. Highly recommend x
