  • Between the Lines x Choose Wisely Festival! - 8 December 2025

    Between the Lines is participating in the first ever Choose Wisely Festival, hosted by Studio Ephua! The Choose Wisely Festival is a choice-based narrative games celebration, focused on featuring the delightful craft of branching narratives.If Between the Lines could only have one tag, it would undoubtedly be "Choices Matter." In this game, every decision you make silently steers the course of the story.But this goes beyond the explicit options you make when editing your text message. The system tracks the nuances of your behavior: whether you hesitate a lot between options, how fast or slow you tend to reply to someone else's message, etc. These subtle details are all recorded and will surface later—in expected or unexpected ways—to deliver a deeply responsive narrative.The good news? You can try the demo now to get a glimpse of what the full game has to offer, and start shaping your o…

  • Demo is LIVE! - 5 December 2025

    Demo is LIVE!Note that the demo is available in Chinese only (see the “About Localization” section below for details).Here’s a quick overview of how the demo differs from the full version:Timeline: The demo captures a glimpse of 2006, right after you first get your mobile phone, and drops you into a handful of early chat snapshots. The full game covers a much longer span, moving through 2010 and 2014 before finally reaching the present day.Topics and replayability: In the demo, the pool of topics is relatively fixed, though each topic can still branch into hundreds of different directions depending on your choices. The full game features a larger, dynamic topic system where topics are linked differently each time, and multiple runs are meant to feel noticeably different.Characters: You can chat with two characters in the demo. The full game will introduce a few more connections.Interfac…

Short description

In this pre-smartphone-era text adventure, use that good ol’ T9 phone to text your way through the highs and lows of school days. Choose replies piece by piece to shape your own story. Friendships grow; feelings get complicated; secrets flicker. Every reply matters—it all happens Between the Lines.

About this game

You still remember what you didn’t say. In this nostalgic "text" adventure, use that good ol’ T9 phone to text your way through the drama, excitement, and awkwardness of school days. Choose your replies piece by piece, and unfold your own story. Relive those sun-drenched teenage summers, back before social media took over. Friendships grow, feelings get complicated, and secrets surface—if you let them. Are you reading too much between the lines? Are you hiding something between the lines? You saved every message. The ones you held back still echo the loudest. Years later, will you reconnect with those old friends? Will they still see you the same way? Will you? Features A love letter to the T9 phone era : a slower, simpler time we used to take for granted, with ambient sounds, weather effects, and the familiar rhythm of typing on a tiny keypad—back when every message took effort. Text with classmates and slowly unravel a relationship that feels close, but never quite clear. A message late at night, a word that feels loaded, a silence that says too much, a reply that takes too long to draft. Maybe it’s just friendship. Maybe it’s not. You don’t really talk about it—and maybe that’s the whole point. Choose each reply piece by piece , and watch as your decisions quietly shape the story. Every path is valid—no right answers, no fake choices, no fail states . Take your time and play at your own rhythm in this relaxed experience. All scripts and dialogues are handcrafted. And don’t forget—you have knowledge of the “future.” Want to drop hints to your friends? See if they laugh it off, get curious, or start thinking you might know more than you’re letting on. An intuitive input system—browse the choices and craft your response smoothly with keyboard and/or mouse. One playthrough takes just a few hours. New playthroughs are fresh with new topics, minimal repetition, and multiple endings shaped not by any single choice, but by everything that’s been building up all along—the things you said, didn’t say, or never even noticed. Maybe you’ll uncover a few secrets. Maybe you won’t. Maybe you'll be questioning everything by the end. Or maybe what’s waiting isn’t a…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.00
  • Highest observed: $0.00

Between the Lines's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.00, the highest is $0.00, and the first visible tracked price is $0.00. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Between the Lines's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00. The latest run records $0.00 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.00
  • Current list price: $0.00
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Between the Lines at $0.00 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
