Between Horizons is set aboard the Zephyr, humanity’s first generation ship on its journey to another star. You play as Stella, born on the ship 24 years ago, who recently inherited her father’s position as Chief of Security. Dive into a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the ship’s fragile social order and jeopardize its mission.
This modern 2.5D pixel art adventure features a branching narrative within a semi-open world. The developers at DigiTales, building on lessons learned from their previous game Lacuna, have refined detective game mechanics to maximize player agency in the investigation process, all while maintaining a tight, meaningful story. As the situation aboard the Zephyr escalates, you’ll be forced to reevaluate your moral compass and make increasingly difficult decisions.
A Fresh Experience
Between Horizons blends investigative gameplay with a branching sci-fi narrative, set in an ever-expanding Metroidvania-style environment.
Solve Cases Your Way
The game’s flexible evidence system allows you to assign clues to different cases, confront ship residents about them, and submit completed cases based on the evidence you’ve gathered. Everything aboard the ship is connected, but figuring out how is where the real challenge lies.
The Cost of Freedom
Beneath the gripping sci-fi plot, Between Horizons tackles deep philosophical issues, prompting players to weigh intergenerational responsibility against personal freedom.
A Unique Visual Style
Timeless pixel art, combined with 3D environments and captivating visual effects, creates a distinctive and beautiful art style that sets Between Horizons apart from other games.
No Second Chances
Failure is an integral part of the experience—submit wrong solutions, and the story will continue with lasting consequences. The game’s auto-save system ensures that your decisions are permanent, and every branch in the narrative, along with its endings, reflects the choices you make.
