R e l e a s e   N o t e s

An enthralling sci-fi adventure that branches and ends based on
your choices.

Between Horizons is set aboard the Zephyr, humanity's first
generation ship en route to another star. You assume the role of
Stella, who was born on the ship 24 years ago and recently
inherited her father's post as 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 modern 2.5D pixel art adventure that brings a
branching narrative into a semi-open world. 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 that will ask
you to reevaluate your moral compass and make increasingly tough
decisions as the situation aboard the ship spirals out of control.

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
players assign clues to cases, confront ship denizens about them,
and submit any case with evidence players have 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
players to weigh intergenerational responsibility against personal
freedom.

Getting New Perspective: Timeless pixel art mixed with 3D
environments and compelling visual effects come together in Between
Horizons, 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 players
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 player decisions, none of which can be taken
back.

Languages: English, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified)
and Chinese (traditional).

Notes: Update v1.0.1 (v65536) is included. Firmware 18.1.0 and
master key 18.0 are required.
