IMPORTANT NOTE: The browser version of the demo is ONLY the final encounter. If you want to play the FULL demo you need to download the game (it's free) so you can actually play more than just the ending!

I really tried to get it to work, but sadly, saves just don't work on the browser version. Bah! BAH! Still cool!

I love you, Newgrounds. Sorry I couldn't get a full version of the demo to run on Newgrounds, I'm not smart enough!

Basic Mouse Controls. Left click on revolver cylinder in the bottom right to reload. Click near the bottom of the screen to pull your gun or put it away. Click after the cursor turns into a target to fire your gun.

There's other stuff but that's the important things for the browser version.

If you want to download the full game, please check it out on Itch.io!

Or, if you're a dirty casual, you can play the demo and wishlist the game on steam.

-DEAD HORIZON-

A six shooter is all you have in a world of sand, dust, and blood...

On a barren desert world, Bonnie Star ekes out a living as a carnival sideshow act. She spends most of her days staring at the bottom of a bottle of booze as though it might have something to say. That is, until a man dies in her arms. A man from whom she hears a story about a way to bring free water to a desperate land.

An adventure game for the modern era...

With adventure gameplay focused more on choices than pixel hunting or moon logic puzzles. Enjoy talking with characters, figuring out what you want to do next, and dealing with problems without ever needing to be afraid of 'screwing up' your progress. Not that your choices don't have consequences...

Heartbeats count when lead starts to fly...

Dead Horizon is a story focused adventure game with rail shooter action elements. We have dubbed it a 'puzzle shooter' because we think we're clever. It combines classic point and click gameplay with rail shooter elements, strong characters, and a deep well thought out setting in which water is more valuable than blood.

A vibrant yet dying world for you to explore...

The world of Dead Horizon is not one of infinite frontiers. It is a setting of pain and bones bleached white by a world that wants nothing more than to consume what few people are left on its surface. Yet, those people still live their lives, have their own stories, dreams, and aspirations. A dying world doesn't mean that people don't live.

The Hard Sell...

Dead Horizon is a game with one foot firmly in the past: adventure games, the 90s, pixel art and some older design philosophies. However, it is also a game with one foot firmly in the future: interaction, immersion, cinematic storytelling, and reactive dialogues. By taking the style and lessons of the past and combining them with both modern game design elements and a love of storytelling, we've tried to create something beautiful.

Dead Horizon is a labor of love. A love of storytelling, of pixel art, of westerns, of so many things. A love of gamers and games. Of the people who have come before and everyone that will come after.

We hope you are willing to celebrate this love with us. Even when all we see around us are Dead Horizons, those barren sands are full of beauty.
