The long version...
Behind the Horizon is an epic role playing game with farm elements. It takes place in a living world and is based on a 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.
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.
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 and more fertile. So the world is constantly changing.
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.
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 40 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, 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.
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.
For the collectors among you, there are now two museums in Waldheim that want to be filled with unique artefacts.
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.

This is a great game.. The developer is VERY responsive and open to new ideas. and they any fix issues quickly. Its a farming game BUT don't expect Stardew Valley, although it has a somewhat similar loop. IE farming, explore ect, although with a "Nature" theme.. Progression can be slow at times, but blossoms after chapter 1.. Make sure you read the help F1 as it explains your tools. Use the MAP.. to keep track of possible resources.
I've been enjoying this game a lot. It has quests, farming, animals, magic, crafting etc. You get to explore a pretty big world and meet the villagers. The scenery is very pretty and it has seasons. It is a very unique game. The developer has answered questions, taken in feedback and suggestions and fixed bugs rather quickly. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone.
I really enjoyed playing this game, the questlines were very interesting, there was tons to explore, and the combat system was different than what i've encountered in other games. My favourite part of the game was definitely how the weather and change in season would affect the landscape, seeing the snow pile up or the size of a lake changing is something i've never seen in a video game and i found it very unique. The developer of the game is also very responsive, answering any questions i had about the game, and even adding content based on my suggestions. Overall, the game is very enjoyable and unique and lets you play at your own pace, i definitely recommend it :)
The tutorial of the game walks you through the concepts really nicely and then sets you off on your own adventures. The game is quite large in scope and there's a lot of landscape to explore. I've played for a while and I feel I've just started scratching the depth that the farming and magic systems have to offer. Overall, the game feels unique and lovingly made and the pace of the game is quite gentle.
Absolut empfehlenswert, wer Spiele dieser Art mag, einfach ein "muss"! Irrsinnig schöne landschaftliche Grafik, welche sich ständig ändert und auch von Naturereignissen beeinflusst wird. Spannende und herausfordernde Story, sehr viel zu entdecken und Geheimnisse zu lüften. Garantiert viele Stunden unterhaltsames Spielen mit sehr viel Abwechslung.
Nach rund 23 Std Spielzeit kann ich ein klare Kaufempfehlung geben. Die Grafik des Spiels hat mich von Anfang an gefangen. Wer diese Art Spiel mag, kommt voll auf seine Kosten. Von farming über Magie bis questen ist alles dabei. Das Spiel wurde mit liebvollen Details versehen. Es gibt an jeder Ecke etwas zu entdecken. Der Entwickler arbeitet mit ständigem Eifer an Verbesserungen . Absolut gelungen !!!
Pretty nice so far! Has a sort of Gothic-Meets-Stardew Valley type vibe going on, and has the same slowburning yet rewarding progression like a Gothic game has. Really well-made too, impressive for a solo project, although the translation *is* a bit shaky at times, but it's not terrible by any stretch as I've seen much worse examples. Most importantly it's fun to play, relaxing too and it does also feature CRPG type stats and adventure in a deep and enriched world one can easily get lost in. I dig it, good job dev and thanks for the cool game!
Wenn man die lange Fassung des Spiels gelesen hat, weiß man ja schon ziemlich gut um was es geht. Das Spiel macht Spaß, es ist interessant zu sehen, wie sich der gewählte Charakter entwickelt. Du fängst quasi bei Null an und "musst" deinen Charakter selbst "aufbauen". Es gibt keine Startbedingungen bei denen man besondere Fähigkeiten vorab erhält. Man merkt auch die Liebe zum Detail, die in dieses Spiel eingeflossen sind. Wer eine Super HD Auflösende Grafik erwartet, ist bei diesem Spiel natürlich falsch. Dennoch ist die Darstellung (meiner Meinung nach) schöner und gelungener als z.B bei Stardew Valley. Wer Stardew Valley gespielt hat, wird sich bei diesem Spiel stellenweise wiederfinden, aber dennoch kann man beide nicht wirklich miteinander vergleichen. Bei "Hinter dem Horizont" steht eher die Entwicklung und Veränderung der Natur im Vordergrund, also etwas was man so bei anderen "Farmspielen" nicht findet. Die Jahreszeiten sind nicht immer gleich angelegt, sondern ändern sich dynamisch im Laufe der Jahre. Wer möchte, kann sein Glück in den Minen versuchen. Hier gibt es sehr viel zu entdecken und... so mancher Leichtsinn kann schnell sein Ende finden. Aber wer nun wirklich NUR auf Monsterjagd und "Killpunkte" Wert legt, ist bei diesem Spiel ebenso falsch aufgehoben wie nur reine "Farmer" Es ist die Mischung aus allem, die dieses Spiel so ausgewogen und interessant macht. Die Story ist sehr gut, die Quests sind gut erfüllbar und den Rest, denn sollte jeder für sich selbst herausfinden :-) Der Entwickler selbst ist sehr kompetent und auch sehr bemüht, auf alle Fehler und Anregungen einzugehen und diese auch umzusetzen. Meiner Meinung nach ist dieses Spiel wieder einmal eine sehr gute und gelungene Abwechslung für alle, die RPG nicht nur mit starrem Kampf und Gegnertöten verbinden, oder nur ein reines Farmspiel/Aufbauspiel suchen. Wer sich nicht sicher ist, ob dieses Spiel etwas für ihn ist, dem empfehle ich vorher einmal die ausführlichen Einführungvideos anzusehen. Es bleibt noch zu erwähnen, das ich bisher noch keinen Absturz oder irgendwelche gravierenden Bugs hatte, die das Produkt unspielbar gemacht haben. Von meiner Seite aus eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
Ich bin fasziniert von dem Spiel. Man merkt, dass der Entwickler viel Zeit und Liebe in dieses Game investiert, was man auch an laufenden Updates und Patches merkt. Selbst bei den erst knapp 6 Std. Spielzeit die ich bis jetzt hatte, fällt mir sehr viel an Details auf und die Dialoge sind interessant und unterhaltsam.. Das sich durch Jahreszeiten verändernde Wetter und die sich dadurch verändernde Umwelt setzen ein hohes Maß bei den Details. Als Entwickler und Publisher ist JADAWIN ganz alleine und das finde ich eine ganz große Leistung und hat mit Sicherheit mehr Anerkennung verdient und müsste meiner Meinung nach im Ranking viel weiter oben seinen Platz finden.
Nach etwas mehr als 10std Spielzeit kann ich folgendes sagen: In dem Spiel steckt verdammt viel Liebe! Ich habe mich zu Beginn an die gute Snes Zeit erinnert gefühlt. Die Story ist mysteriös und zugleich auch spannend. Ab einem gewissen Punkt im Spiel hat es mich gepackt und wollte unbedingt wissen wie es weitergeht. Das ist aktuell immer noch so. Es gibt viel zu entdecken und auch viel zu lernen. Was besonders schön ist, der Entwickler reagiert schnell auf Vorschläge und Feedback. Bugs und kleinere Probleme werden schnell rausgepatched. So wünscht man sich das. Wer sich die Zeit nimmt, sich auf das Spiel einlässt und bereit ist die Mechaniken zu lernen, der wird nicht enttäuscht! Vor mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung! :)
