If There Was a Horizon, Then It'd be Just Beyond That

Genre: Exploration

"If There Was a Horizon, Then It'd be Just Beyond That" is a demo for a looping, 6-Degrees-of-Freedom game about the asynchronous passage and experience of time. Players live a full life, aging at fluctuating rates. Common activities include walking, traveling, talking, cooking, sleeping, drifting, thinking, or doing nothing. There are no win or loss scenarios; while there are certain milestones to achieve, there are significantly more quirks that passively occur, frequently without fanfare. On their 100th birthday, the player dies and starts over.

Platform: PC
