Description

ABOUT THE GAME

Between Horizons is set aboard the Zephyr, humanity's first generation ship en route to another star. You assume the role of Chief of Security Stella, who was born on the ship 24 years ago. Dive into the conspiracy behind the incident that threatens to disrupt the Zephyr's social order and foil its mission.

Between Horizons is a modern 2.5D pixel art adventure that brings a branching narrative into a semi-open world. The team at DigiTales has applied numerous lessons from their first game Lacuna and proven solutions to detective game design problems to maximize player agency in the investigation process – all the while maintaining the tight pacing of a meaningful story that will ask you to reevaluate your moral compass and make increasingly tough decisions as the situation aboard the ship spirals out of control.


FEATURES

  • An Unusual Adventure: Between Horizons merges investigation gameplay with a branching sci-fi story in an ever-expanding Metroidvania-style environment.

  • Think For Yourself: The flexible evidence system lets you assign clues to cases, confront people about them, and solve any case with at any point in time. Everything you find on the ship may or may not be connected to the mystery at hand.

  • Failure is Very Much an Option: There are no second chances — submitting an incorrect solution means that consequences may follow as the story branches and ends based on your decisions.

  • Set Your Course: Underneath the game's exciting and plausible sci-fi plot lies a number of thought-provoking problems inviting you to weigh intergenerational responsibility against personal freedom.

  • A New Dimension: Timeless pixel art merges with 3D environments and modern visual effects to create a unique art style. Prefer old-school 2D? No problem, you can switch any time!

Because the game doesn't let you save nor does it let you make the last choice yourself - your character does it based on your actions, not your decision - I seriously can't recommend this game. I completely disagreed

Between Horizons had all the ingredients to be a game I’d love: sci-fi setting, detective mechanics, player-driven case progression. Unfortunately, the execution turns what could have been a compelling space noir into a

I recommend this game and disagree with some of the complaints about the way inventory is handled and how much backtracking you have to do. I have my own complaints though. The way this game is set up is not intuitive

In this game, you are the head of security on a spaceship as it’s traveling towards a planet 100 years away to establish a colony, meaning only your grandchildren will ever reach it. It has a strong setting, but poor
