Kill ScreenDylan PastureFeb 201672/100Between Me And The Night never feels less than sincere and heartfelt while doing this. And if you can embrace its perspective, the game stands to offer a moving and smart depiction of navigating life through the scrim of an angst born in childhood.

Hardcore GamerMark SteighnerJan 20163/5The look and tone of Between Me and the Night will undoubtedly appeal to many gamers, but they may ultimately be disappointed by its approach to puzzle design, overly fussy controls, limited inventory system and a mood that has little variety save unease and tension.

PushStartPlayJohn LittleMar 20165.5/10The positives almost make up for the negatives, but the game lets itself down in one crucial area. It's way too short. A shame because the puzzling and exploration is good enough to warrant more of it, and the title is mostly pretty enjoyable and engaging.
