About

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.

Dead Horizon reviews and comments

We play Bonnie Starr. A former Farmer who became a famous Gun Protector. A very short Game. But the Pixel look and story quickly grabbed me. Also Great the World where Cyberpunk is mixed with Westerns. Since it is completely Free it gives a Thumbs up. Too bad it's no longer.

It Is very difficult to call this thing a game. In fact, it is a two-dimensional pixel image that is accompanied by text. Typical Cowboy crap, and the need to pick the time before the shot. When the text says it's time to shoot, you drop the mouse down, imitating the weapons from the Cabura, and shoot a pixel misunderstanding. If everything was not so lazy, and at least drew a model of weapons, you could have something to squeat and so this is the most unfortunate Point and Click that I have seen.

I play on Linux. Linux version: excellent. The game a very short story, with a narration in the third person. There is a little extra story to read only in the options, which sets the scenery of the game. Replayability, achievements Nope. In short a little story to finish in 15 mins! GNU/Linux the Linux version is excellent, I have not encountered any problems. OS: Linux Mint 18.3 x64, MATE Edition. Hardware: I7 7700K OC @ 5Ghz, NVIDIA 1080GTX, 32GB RAM. Screens: Dualscreen, 1x 4K & 1x 1920x1200, single screen X.

Dead Horizon-a small but pleasant indie (you can go in less than 10 minutes), made under the inspiration of the old westerns, the same old arcade Tirov with light pistols (for those who even remember), and a little bit from the ancient text quests . Plot. The Story of a girl-shooter, in Parpankovskoye Westerns, told through a series of her duels. The Text is a bit, but who watched or read Westerns, imagine the plot will be able. Gameplay. From Quest Moments-Inspect objects, read the text. From The shooting-wait when the enemy will grab the gun, sharply pull the cursor down to snatch his own, and shoot the bastard. A Game of reaction, but light. Graphics and sounds. Pixel picture, nothing special, but the spirit of steampunk Westerns conveys. Music is not bad for such a game plan. As a result. A Small dedication to the old and already largely forgotten arcade tiram with light pistols, which were popular in the late 1980s, early 90s. For The oldfags nostalgia, for younger players, somewhat unusual, and unspicy gameplay. Good game for a short break. 7 Duels of 10 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1126011506 P.
