Regular readers know that the crew here at Phenixx Gaming loves a good bit of Sci-Fi. I also happen to love a good detective experience, and Assemble Entertainment and DigiTales Interactive have brought together the best of both worlds.

Between Horizons is a Sci-Fi Detective Adventure that is already on PC but will soon be available for consoles. Specifically, it will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on September 19^th. Here is what the press release says about Between Horizons:

“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.”

I love the concept of Between Horizons. It seems like a unique detective game that will not only test your deductive skills, but also will offer plenty of replay value with multiple routes, choices, and endings. There isn’t long to wait for the console release on the 19th either, so console players can check it out on Steam now, or wishlist it on their console of choice while they wait.
