Selected Articles
- "DigiTales Interactive has created a sci-fi whodunit hit with Between Horizons. Not only are the players tasked with solving an intricate investigation, but they are also thrown into a narrative that they shape through difficult choices that, once made, must be seen through to the end. It is a must-have game for anyone who loves mysteries and science fiction."
- Dean Waxman, Adventure Gamers - "Between Horizons is a noirish detective game set on a starship on a mission to found a new colony. With tight game mechanics, excellent writing, and a superb soundtrack, this is a story that is well worth your time. Just remember that you’ll need to put your thinking cap on to solve some of the games trickier cases."
