Fellow detectives,

Thank you for your patience, we know it's been a bummer that the Japanese localization was not part of the release build. But, the wait is over and you can now start your investigations on the Zephyr with Japanese texts.



On top of the new language, we've been working on some highly requested Quality-of-Life improvements. Here's the full changelog for you:



Medium patch adding Japanese, remappable keys, and a host of small fixes:

• Added keybindings feature: You can now remap keys in the main menu!
  
• Added Japanese translation
  
• Fixed some game logic errors (e.g. characters referring to things that didn't happen in your run)
  
• Fixed a bug where players settings weren't properly saved between sessions
  
• Fixed a bug where evidence stayed highlighted in UI when not selected
  
• Fixed a bug where the mouse cursor would fade out when it shouldn't
  
• Corrected dozens of typos in English language
  

We are aware that a small number of players still gets stuck starting the game. After trying a series of fixes, the next one unfortunately requires a larger rework of a core system. We're still working on it!

Thank you for your ongoing support and feedback - keep it coming, Detectives.

See you aboard the Zephyr!

Happy Arrival Day!

We can't describe how excited, exhausted, and happy we are that Between Horizons is finally coming out today.

We learned a lot ever since our first game Lacuna was released and did our best to apply all these lessons to our new game, providing you with enhanced and more unique detective gameplay. If you played Lacuna, don't expect the core gameplay loop to be the same -- you might be in for some surprises!

Please feel free to share your feedback with us here on the Steam discussion boards or our Discord server.

If you're uncertain whether the game is for you, go ahead and play the free demo, which got its release day update earlier today:

And if you enjoy the music, the game's official soundtrack is also available now:

We can't wait for you to embark on this journey. No matter what comes next, we want to thank you all for your feedback to the past playtest and demo versions, and all the kind words and support over the last three years of development!

All the best from DigiTales HQ.


IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OUR FELLOW JAPANESE DETECTIVES

We're very sorry to say this, but we had to remove the Japanese localization for the release build shortly before release due to some critical issues that conflicted with our aspirations of a fantastic gaming experience in all available languages for you.

We're working hard on adding the Japanese localization back to the game as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding. We'll keep yuo updated about this here on the discussion board.

日本語ローカライズ
日本の刑事の皆さん、

大変申し訳ないのですが、リリース直前のビルドでは、日本語ローカライズを削除せざるを得ませんでした。

現在、日本語ローカライズをできるだけ早くゲームに戻すよう努力しています。

ご理解ありがとうございます。この件に関する最新情報は、ディスカッションボードでお知らせします。

Fellow detectives,

During development of Between Horizons, several milestones have been hit and celebrated internally. But the milestone of 33.000 wishlists has to be celebrated with you. Thank you everyone for your support.

It's basically the Zephyr's travelling time x 1000 in wishlists. That's so cool, and we're working hard to provide you a lasting, challenging and enjoyable gaming experience with Between Horizons.

Also, the release is only one week away. Safe the date! To bridge the time until then, why don't you give the updated demo a try? Click here for the Changelog.

Here's the official Demo:

It's both super exciting and thrilling...we're super curious to hear your thoughts and feedback.

See you next week aboard the Zephyr!

Fellow Detectives and Metroidvania Fans,

thanks to the hard work from our friends over at Ravenage Games , we can celebrate more than 170 thrilling titles during the Metroidvania Fusion event that just got kicked off.

Metroidvania Fusion runs from March 4-11, 2024 on Steam, and aims to spotlight the diversity within the genre. Unlike traditional gaming festivals, Metroidvania Fusion focuses on showcasing the titles that reflect different mechanics or push the boundaries of the genre forward.

Embark on epic journeys filled with exploration, action, and puzzles. Don't miss out on special offers and uncover new worlds at this gaming celebration!

We are thankful and super excited to be part of this even with Between Horizons.

Whil we're at it, you should definitely check out the Between Horizons demo; which just got an update last Friday.

Let's go!
