March 2025
Well designed puzzles that escalate in difficulty as the cases grow more complex. The game offers minimal guidance in how to solve the cases which did result in me getting stumped a few times, but I actually greatly enjoyed that. It felt truly like a detective game. The story is also one I enjoyed. The twist at the end was not the one I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise! I got one ending but only solved 7/10 cases fully so I'll have to try again next run! One thing of note: The game does not allow you to manually save or load a specific save state. Your choices are final. There is no going back in one play through. So you will have to replay it fully to find out where you made the mistake. The game is a fairly short game though so I don't mind that all that much, but I understand others may.

Great story where you feel your decisions actually matter. I liked the mechanic of solving cases without pressure, but with commitment. Cases felt well designed, with a strong component of logic (rule out contradictions), out of the box thinking, and a tiny bit of intuition. I overall had a lot of fun playing Between Horizons!

July 2024
I'm kind of surprised Steam says I spent nearly 6 hours on this game, because it certainly didn't feel that long. Between Horizons is really well-paced and I was constantly looking forward to finding the next clue to solve whichever case(s) I was working on at the time, but let me start by explaining the game a little. You play as the chief of security on a generation ship sent to a distant planet with all the necessities on board to keep the ship running for 130 years and then terraform the planet after landing. The game contains no combat and consists of walking around, talking to characters, confronting them with evidence, finding clues and solving cases. Interestingly, the game will let you pick the wrong solution to a puzzle and won't tell you whether you got it right until later. There are no manual saves and the idea is that you have to deal with the consequences of your choices and how you resolved each case. I want to be very clear about this: every case can be solved correctly with the evidence available. There are no "guess what the devs were thinking" type puzzles here and thank God for that. This is honestly a large part of why I liked the game, because I can't stand puzzle games where the solutions are nonsensical or aren't necessarily true based on the evidence. Follow the clues, ask the right questions and use logical deduction. You'll get to the correct solution every time. Or, you know, just randomly pick something from the possible list and see what happens in a disaster run where you roleplay as the single most irresponsible person on the ship. Your call, really. I don't know how the story would change, if you completely mess it up, but it was interesting when played correctly. Without giving anything away, the story uses the setting well and it becomes clear later on why they chose to have it take place specifically on a generational terraforming ship, beyond the seemingly obvious 'bottle' nature. Like a lot of good sci-fi, it introduces a futuristic situation and then explores how human nature would react to that setting, starting with how the player will choose to perform their job as chief of security. I enjoyed solving the cases, putting together the pieces of the story, the later plot twists and the choices available to the player. In a longer game, I would've liked to see more character development from a lot of the side characters, but the game's focus is clearly more on the mystery rather than the characters. The characters were fleshed out enough to feel distinct, but getting little more than "we used to date" as character background when the people on this ship have been dealing with each other for 30 years felt a bit lacking, but I'm honestly nit picking at this point. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and a well-made puzzle/detective game.

6/10. Tedious in places having to run around every part of the ship to try to find specific characters to talk to, The puzzles are either too easy or annoyingly unclear what it is you are supposed to do. Worth playing for the environment and setting, which is genuinely interesting and reasonably well done, but probably best to wait for when on sale.

A really nice and atmospheric evolution of the point-and-click pixel art adventure games (e.g., Wadjet-style games). The story is interesting, the music is great, and the voice acting is good when it's there. Instead of the old-school adventure game inventory-based puzzles, these are more knowledge-based puzzles. If you usually like games like this, you will like this too.
