Great concept, but could be better
In Between Horizons, you play as a security officer and solve a handful of cases on a large space ship. The premise is excellent, the story would make for a great movie if you can ignore or justify the biggest plothole: the lack of security cameras. The game is also a little too short, IMO; there are only 10 cases to solve in total. But your ending may change depending on how well/poorly you do. You probably won't solve it perfectly on your first try, unless you're a dirty cheater. What mysteries are there are pretty good overall. They really make you think and some of them require you to do a little paper work, which I enjoy. But I really struggled in the latter half of the game. There was a notable drop in the amount of useful evidence and support to guide me, and I was forced to make guesses based on insufficient evidence. Some examples, without spoiling anything significant: - There is a case where you have to figure out some information regarding medical records. The records are in code, like "2L3C13." One might imagine the doctors would happily tell you exactly how to read this code, but they only give you a summarized explanation. You have to figure out the exact use of the code through another means entirely. - You are given one cold case to solve. You will only receive circumstantial evidence. In other words, you must make a guess based on what was present, who was present, and their motivations, but you will not be given any hard evidence of any kind. - You are tasked with finding the precise location of something using only soft ranges, and only 1/4th of the points you are given are relevant. The two biggest QoL improvements I can think of, and would like to see, are: - Option to sort evidence alphabetically and search by name, instead of all of it being fixed in the order they're discovered. - Markers on the map to indicate who is at what location, and what locations are inaccessible, so you're not running around like a headless chicken everywhere.
