Between Horizons Release Date set for March 2024
Between Horizons’ story unfolds on the Zephyr, a first-generation ship launched by humanity towards a distant star.
Players step into the shoes of Stella, a native of the Zephyr born 24 years prior, who has just taken over her father’s role as Chief of Security.
Unravel a deep-seated conspiracy linked to an event that risks upsetting the ship’s social harmony.
Here’s an overview sent to us by Assemble Entertainment:
Between Horizons is a 2.5D pixel art adventure that emphasizes branching narratives, exploration, and investigation. Utilize your detective skills to solve problems aboard the ship and make decisions that impact the overall story. Along the way, you will collect clues, connect evidence, and confront the citizens aboard the Zephyr.
Decision-making is at the heart of the experience, with tough choices that ask you to reevaluate your moral compass. But in Between Horizons, the story continues, even if players select the “solve the cases wrong,” adding weight and gravity to each choice.
Features:
- 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 denizens 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.
