Board the Zephyr and travel to another star in thought-provoking 2.5D pixel art journey on PC
Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer DigiTales Interactive are thrilled to announce that their narrative 2.5D sci-fi detective adventure Between Horizons will launch for PC via Steam on March 25th, 2024. A free Steam demo is available for players to try now. Aboard the Zephyr, a ship en route to a distant star, players assume the role of Stella, the recently appointed 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 2.5D pixel art adventure that emphasizes branching narratives, exploration, and investigation. In it, players utilize their detective skills to solve problems aboard the ship – while making decisions that impact the overall story. Along the way, players 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 “wrong decision,” 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 Metroidvania-style environment.
- Solving Cases for Yourself: The flexible evidence system lets you assign clues to cases, confront ship denizens about them, 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, none of which can be taken back.
Between Horizons launches for PC via Steam on March 25th, 2024. In the meantime, players can enjoy a free Between Horizons demo on Steam. A console version is also in development and will launch later in 2024. Stay up to date by following the official DigiTales Interactive Twitter account.
