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 consoles including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on September 19th. 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. Decades into the Zephyr’s journey, its mission is suddenly jeopardized. Utilize your detective skills to solve problems aboard the ship – while making decisions that impact the overall story. Along the way, you’ll collect clues, connect evidence, and confront the citizens aboard the Zephyr. Can you find the culprit before it’s too late?
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. 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.
Between Horizons launches for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on September 19th, 2024, for $15.99 (with a 25% discount on Nintendo Switch), and is currently available on PC via Steam.
