The long version...

Behind the Horizon is an epic role playing game (game duration between 50-200 hours) with farm elements. It takes place in a living world and is based on a

Behind the horizon offers a long mystical story away from "Hero saves the world". Rather it is about discovering one's own nature and the nature of the world. The community of Woodhome and the contact to the inhabitants plays an important role in this. nature simulation. The farm part of the game fits harmoniously into the whole game and provides a lot of variety with housing, crafting, animal husbandry and farm decoration. Vast underground areas designed by hand and filled with good and bad surprises offer excitement and challenges.

All residents have their own daily routine, which also changes with the seasons. There are craftsmen, traders, artists, a café and a restaurant and all live in a friendly community together. You can talk to all the residents and many have small or big tasks, or can do something for you. From time to time there are decisions to be made which can have consequences for you and the world. Of course there is also friendship and love behind the horizon, but I will not reveal anything about it now.

The Nature Simulation makes sure that no game is like the other and that the landscape changes every day. The weather and the seasons are also simulated and have a direct influence on nature and the player, and there are catastrophes and special events in the simulation that can dramatically change the landscape again and again. Plants grow and sow, trees die and give the soil its nutrients. The soil continues to develop and becomes more a

More than 50 cutscenes that advance the story or breathe life into certain moments. These include events such as learning new skills as well as visions and information about the main story. The story itself is told in 5 chapters. In the beginning the focus is on survival, working on the farm and exploring the world. Afterwards the story picks up more and more speed and finally ends in one of two possible endings.nd more fertile. So the world is constantly changing.

There are hundreds of items, which you can find in the dark dungeons, buy from merchants, or make yourself. Potions, spells, all kinds of food and many other useful items can be made on the farm. There are numerous recipes for the decoration of the house and farm, and many items can also be bought from local traders.

Also magic is not unknown in Behind the Horizon and the study of the nature of magic is a central point in the story. There are more than 30 different spells that can be used for combat or on the farm.

The combat system has 5 weapon types and the corresponding skills must first be learned from inhabitants of the world. Huge underground caves and dungeons with traps, labyrinths,

For Farming there are many cultivated plants and also ALL wild plants and trees available for cultivation. Animals can be kept in enclosures or stables and small, helping companions are also available. The harvested plants serve on the one hand for own nutrition, for cooking and making magic formulas and on the other hand of course to get the coins to be able to buy stuff from the local traders.treasures and many surprises await you. There are various boss enemies with sophisticated mechanics. In total there are over 25 different monsters with many unique abilities.

How the mix between Farming / RPG / Exploring Caves and Housing looks like is up to you, but it should be said that you can have a lot of variety. Just wandering through the nature after a season is over, is always exciting. To see what has grown, what has died, how the course of the river has changed, or where the quality of the earth has improved.

Hello Community,

Behind the Horizon now has 2 big story DLCs and also in terms of optimisation and simplification a lot has happened in the last few months.

As the big autumn sales are currently taking place, I wanted to draw your attention to my game once again :-) !

- If you want a farm game that doesn't do all the thinking for you and is instead based on a world-spanning nature simulation that challenges you..

- If you are tired of the fact that playing games today often means pressing buttons that are displayed in the right order on the screen..

- If you enjoy designing a farm completely freely and utilising the diverse mechanisms offered by the nature simulation...

- If you like games that offer you an interesting story instead of grinding...

- If you like role-playing games in which you can develop in a wide variety of ways..

- If you love exciting battles in the style of the old Diablos games...

- If you would rather play in a large, 100% hand-crafted world than in an infinite number of worlds created by algorithms that are meaningless and boring..

- If the scope of the story in the game of around 100 hours of gameplay excites you..

- And finally: If you want to support a real 100% solo developer, without any publisher :-) ..

...then Behind the Horizon is the game for you!

Update V3.3 is live!

Highlights:

Two new starting maps with new challenges

Introduction of survival mode for experienced players with numerous gameplay changes for a much more challenging game.

Plus a long list of optimizations and small improvements.

Update V3.4 - The Monster Hell

Highlights:

In this update, the game gets a new quest line including an extensive cave system called "The Monster Hell", which is suited for players in the last third of the main game. The fights in it are and should be very challenging and the whole area is for players who love such challenges. I have created 6 new unique bosses for the Monster Hell.

There are exciting rewards for those who make it through, but everything is optional and not required for the main story. You have to try different strategies for the battles and each of the caves is different. There is no option to save or teleport in the caves. Above all, you should ensure that you always have high resistance values and other buffs active.

----------------------------------------------------------------
