Completed Between Horizons, and I am glad I did.
Took just short of 9 hours in total, and I was taking it rather slow. As can be seen from the ending screen, there are a total of 10 cases to solve, none of them particularly difficult, but the game isn’t holding your hand either. The ever-growing pile of evidence and conversation records doesn’t make the task any easier. Couple that with a save-system that does not allow to revert a single action, and the pressure is on!
I am usually not very fond of having to make irreversible decisions in (narrative) games, as often enough it feels like a shot in the dark, with what little context you have. But at least the game gives you all the time you need to make up your mind, and it seemed that the plot-defining moments were somewhat decoupled from the solution to the cases as well. So after a bit of initial uneasiness, I began to enjoy the challenge.
In the end, I was rewarded with an outcome that I was quite happy with, and the mission was a success, too! \o/
I also made peace with the controls by using a gamepad. Although that made navigating the evidence and map a bit more cumbersome, walking around and interacting with the environment was a much better experience. But proper mouse controls could have gone a long way …
All in all, fully recommended if figuring out mysteries in a Sci-Fi setting is your thing. No classic P&C inventory/object puzzles, though.
