Between Horizons

Between Horizons is a narrative 2.5D sci-fi detective adventure. 33 years into the Zephyr's journey, its mission is suddenly jeopardized. Can you find the culprit before it's too late? Experience an enthralling story set in a semi-open world that branches and ends based on your choices.

Hey, everybody! You may have noticed that we haven't shared much about ourselves or our work on Between Horizons over the last year or so. Time to bring you up to speed! [h1]🎮 NEW DEMO AT GAMESCOM 🎮[/h1] In spring of this year, we released a demo of our upcoming sci-fi detective adventure Between Horizons. Despite its favorable reception, we pulled it again about three months later for a number of [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1921980/view/3647400837469296162]reasons[/url]. If you haven't heard already, a completely [b]revamped demo is playable at gamescom right now[/b]! You can find it in two places in [b]Hall 10.2[/b]: the Indie Arena Booth as well as the GameUp!/saaris booth (E020g - D021g). Come check it out! (Don't fret if you can't make it, the new demo is coming to Steam a little later.)

We are extremely excited about this project, but it has no clear timeline right now as it massively depends on the response to the upcoming [b]crowdfunding campaign[/b]. If you want to see it come to life, please [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1911240994/unburied]follow the campaign[/url] or sign up for a [url=https://games.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=40ae415a76f164b26993d5008]one-time e-mail[/url] and help us spread the word!

You can find it on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434030/Lacuna_LoFi_Soundtrack/]Steam[/url], [url=https://youtu.be/_X6C9QUhpDA]YouTube[/url], and most [url=https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/juliancolbus/lacuna-lo-fi]streaming platforms[/url]!

From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you so much, Saarländisches Staatsorchester, Yannick Süß from HippoScore, and everybody else who helped make this possible! A full recording of the concert will air September 27 on Saarländischer Rundfunk.

We swear this is the last time for a while now, as the new location is everything we could ask for. It's a very central place in Saarbrücken and just two floors underneath some good indie friends that moved in with us. Check out our break room!

We still [b]don't know when exactly Between Horizons will be released[/b], but we continue to aim for [b]late 2023[/b]. As for our plans beyond that, we currently have multiple projects lined up that may (or may not) be realized sequentially or concurrently starting this winter. We had more concrete plans already, but the federal games funding program [url=https://www.gameswirtschaft.de/politik/games-foerderung-antragsstopp-090523/]being cut[/url] over night threw a massive wrench in the works. We hope you enjoy the new demo at gamescom. If you can't make it there, stay tuned for the demo release on Steam this fall!
