Between Horizons Now Available For PC

Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer DigiTales Interactive have released their video game Between Horizons for PC. The game is a narrative 2.5D detective adventure with a sci-fi setting.

The starship Zephyr is currently en route to another system, but whether its passengers make it safely is up to you. You play Stella, the ship’s chief of security, and through the ten cases the game offers for you to solve, you’ll unravel the conspiracy that threatens to disrupt the Zephyr’s social order and foil its mission.

Interview NPCs, gather evidence and sniff out who the saboteurs are — but you’d better be correct! Be wary that the story will change and shift depending on your choices, and if you mess up, the consequences will linger for the rest of the game. This is one you might have to play several times!

  • A New Kind of Experience: Between Horizons merges investigative-style gameplay with a branching sci-fi story in an ever-expanding small open-world environment.
  • Solving Cases for Yourself: The flexible evidence system lets you confront ship citizens and submit any case with the evidence you’ve connected to it. Everything found on the ship is connected, but figuring out how, that’s the challenge.
  • At What Cost?: 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.
  • Getting New Perspective: Timeless pixel art mixed with 3D environments and compelling visual effects come together, creating a unique, beautiful art style.
  • Failure is Very Much an Option: There are no second chances, submitting wrong solutions means the story will go on and you’ll have to live with the consequences. A new and improved auto-save system will make sure there is no going back, as the story branches and endings are based on your decisions.

Between Horizons is available now for PC via Steam and GOG. There is also a free demo available for the Steam version.

I'm intrigued by the moral dilemmas presented in Between Horizons. Balancing intergenerational responsibility with personal freedom sounds like a thought-provoking challenge. It's refreshing to see a game tackle such complex themes while still offering engaging gameplay. I'm curious to see how my decisions will shape the story and what consequences they'll bring.

Between Horizons sounds intense! The pressure of being the ship's chief of security and having to make critical decisions that affect everyone on board? That's some serious responsibility. I'm excited to dive into this sci-fi adventure and see if I have what it takes to keep the peace and uncover the truth. Here's hoping I don't mess things up too badly!

Between Horizons looks promising. I'm all for a game that challenges my problem-solving skills and keeps me engaged with its branching narrative. The idea of facing the consequences of my decisions head-on is refreshing in a gaming landscape where hand-holding is often the norm. I'm eager to see how my choices shape the story and what kind of impact they'll have on the fate of the Zephyr.

the combination of pixel art and 3D environments is visually appealing, and the emphasis on player-driven storytelling is intriguing. I'm looking forward to exploring the mysteries of the Zephyr and uncovering the truth behind the conspiracy. The lack of second chances adds an extra layer of tension that I find appealing—it's sink or swim, and I'm ready to dive in.
