Astute readers may remember that my partner and I have been enjoying playing detective games together. Specifically, we enjoyed the sublime Return of the Obra Dinn, and The Case of the Golden Idol, both of which offer satisfying detective puzzles to solve that work well for two people playing as a team. I then looked into other, similar games we might play next, and drew up a shortlist. Then I got completely distracted when I saw GOG offering a sale on “detective pixel art games”, and ended up nabbing a couple of titles I’d never heard of before. We decided to try one of them: Between Horizons, by DigiTales Interactive. It casts players as Stella, the young chief of security on board the starship Zephyr, as she investigates a series of crimes.
