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 Stella, who was born on the ship 24 years ago and recently inherited her father's post as Chief of Security. 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 ship denizens 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 a wrong solution means the story will go with all the consequences. A new and improved auto-save system will make sure there is no going back, 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 visual style.

Not bad, but not as expected

I played Lacuna before this game and the story was very good and I liked it. A kind of game that I replay in the future again. Between Horizons has a good story, but it's too tricky sometimes. Ok, the idea is you pay for your errors, if you do wrong decisions and the story automatically creates a new path. But if I have to restart the entire game again, this becomes annoying at some point. No choice to save the game when you want, only autosave available. The graphic is good, but how things are placed unorganised in the evidence folder, etc. takes time to understand. You need to look through anything a lot of time to see what you missed. Some next steps are in my view not clearly defined and you wander aimlessly inside the spaceship searching hints. At some point I was really tired of this game and I wanted only to finish the story quickly. So I did it and I don't think I will replay this game anymore.

Bad UX ruin this game

I loved your other game and the story looks awesome, but the UX is just way too busy and hard compared to Lacuna. I think bad UX is not a fatality and, if a rework of the interface is done I may revisit this game again but considering the work needed it will probably not...

Really liking this!

This is such a curious little game. It's not entirely perfect, but it has a ton of charm and it does what it wants to do really well. The basic idea is that you are a sort-of detective abord a generation star ship that solves cases, always locking in your solutions like in Sherlock Holmes games, making use of a self-updating log of discussions and evidence you found. But, importantly, nobody stops you from giving the wrong answer. You won't be told immediately, the game just goes on (and saves!). So you can say whatever you want. It leads to a fascinating dynamic. It reminds me of the way Return of the Obra Dinn needs you to give 3 answers before confirming what is correct. The downsides mostly come down to it being a tad too short, and the fact that navigation is a bit arduous. There are a lot of shortcuts, but menu positions reset and the map could show more details.

An enticing story

I really like how the story unfolded with plot twists that genuinely surprised me. Gameplay wise, I enjoyed solving the 10 cases. Most of them made a lot of sense and were possible to solve with a bit of deduction, but was disappointed that one had only very circumstantial evidence and a second required a lucky guess. Overall I really recommend giving it a try for yourself!

Excellent!

A core aspect of games is avoiding failure. In an FPS you want to avoid dying by getting shot. In a strategy game you want to avoid being overwhelmed by your enemy. In a sports game you want to avoid being outperformed by your opponent. For most detective games though, just like point and click adventure games, the main failure state has always just been getting stuck and being unable to progress. Not enough games of the genre embrace the mechanic of providing consequneces for coming to an incorrect conclusion. I can count the detective games that do that on one hand. Between Horisons understands. Gather evidence, solve puzzles of logic and interpretation, if all else fails, guess, and try not to be wrong. Brilliant stuff! I want more games that try to do what this game does.
