I enjoy almost everything about this game. Personally I always feel I'd like to know about things people noticed negatively about a game and discover the positives myself. So here are the only two things I didn't like. The game really lacks a mechanism to find out where a specific person is on the ship at any given time which in some cases means you just litterally have to just check every conceivable place they could be, workplace, public zones, residential areas. For some people like engineers and technicians this could really be anywhere at all. One of the major story beats is something that happens relatively early but doesn't exactly make very much sense sci-fi-technically ( the ship's habitation ring stops unreasonably suddenly, causing some mayhem ) which is really not a major gripe. I love the pixel art style, I like the control scheme, I liked the soundtrack enough to buy it and I very much like that the outcome is VERY MUCH up to your choices along the entire game. I've seen some people complain about "the ending" and really all i can say is, play it again and make better choices next time. Tho even in my first playthrough I felt I got to an ending I could very much live with.
I really enjoyed the story, it definitely felt like it would make a great sci-fi tv series. The "2.5D" graphics were nice, old school style, but slightly modernised with the 3D backgrounds, it just added a little more. I did get stuck on a few of the cases, but really enjoyed working through them, it took roughly 7 hours for my one play through, but to 100% it you definitely will need two, due to choices you need to make. I picked this up in a recent sale and it was well worth playing. If you like point and click sci-fi style games, give this one a go for sure.
Between Horizons is a puzzle game that follows the usual pattern of combining inventory items, items in the environment, and dialogue options to solve mysteries. As with all of these games, the story is really the draw. This one is set on a generation ship during the middle of the voyage. The resulting story is decent though not especially memorable. I think someone looking for decently difficult puzzles will be satisfied with this game. They could get annoying because there's a lot of travel required to unlock new clues, and a lot of clues to read through to find the right combination. It was likely laziness more than anything that inspired to look up a few solutions that I didn't want to spend time hunting everything down. But there were a few things where something that *should* be a solution doesn't work because the solution is a related item (e.g. something an NPC said vs the NPC themselves). It worked great on my Steam Deck.
A fun little game for what it is. Not actually a point and click game despite having the tag. Instead it is a logic and deduction game where you solve cases by collecting clues and then through the process of elimination figure out the answer. There is no hunting for items and then figuring out how they work in puzzles. The game is so simple it can be easily played with a controller. Positives + The 2.5D graphics are nice and bring depth to the game. + Most of the puzzles aren't too hard and all can be figured out with deduction and logic. Except the server puzzle, no idea how you're supposed to do that one. + You can make different choices which affect the ending. + I found the story interesting including the moral dilemmas. Neutral +- The new 2D graphics are terrible, but thankfully optional. And when I say 2D I mean 2D, as in the perspective is flat. It's ugly and removes all depth. +- Not a fan of being unable to have multiple saves, but the game isn't hard and there are no deadends. +- While you do have choices, they don't make much of a difference except for the ending. The story progresses unimpeded even if you solve the cases wrong. But you do miss out on a certain confrontation if you get a specific puzzle wrong. Negatives - The camera instantly jerks in whatever direction you start moving. Very disconcerting, but you do get used to it. - At $16 it's way too expensive for what you get, which is about 6 hours for a first playthrough if you're very thorough and read everything. Wait for a good sale like I did.
