Excitement is building as the much-anticipated 2.5D sci-fi adventure game, Between Horizons, edges closer to its console release date. Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer DigiTales Interactive have marked September 19th as the day the game will launch on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5. Already making waves on Windows PC via Steam and GOG since March, the console debut promises to enthrall a wider audience.
Between Horizons sets players on an unforgettable journey aboard the Zephyr, humanity’s first generation ship on a mission to reach another star. Players step into the shoes of Stella, the ship’s Chief of Security, who was born on the Zephyr 24 years ago. Unravel a thrilling conspiracy that threatens to destabilize the ship and jeopardize its mission as you navigate through an intricately crafted narrative.
This gripping adventure combines modern 2.5D pixel art with a semi-open world, branching narrative, and investigative gameplay. DigiTales Interactive has drawn from their previous experience with their debut game Lacuna to refine the detective game dynamics, ensuring players feel empowered to shape the outcome of the story. Every choice you make will challenge your moral judgments and lead to increasingly difficult decisions as the ship’s crisis unfolds.
