Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for checking out the Horizon Journey demo and for sharing your honest feedback at the Steam Next Fest. We've heard you loud and clear and we completely understand your frustration.
Yes, this version of the demo was missing some absolutely critical features, and we take full responsibility for that. We released it too soon, and it showed. But we’re not leaving it like this.
What Went Wrong?
No settings menu. No mouse sensitivity adjustment. No key remapping. Unacceptable even in a demo.
No tutorial. No control hints. No onboarding experience.
Very dark environments with no way to adjust brightness.
UI bugs, confusing systems, and a general lack of clarity.
What’s Coming – Very Soon!
We’re already working hard on a patch that will:
Add a full settings menu (mouse sensitivity, key bindings, audio/video settings)
Add a basic tutorial and control reference
Improve lighting and UI functionality
Fix a number of early usability bugs
This updated demo build will be released before the end of Steam Next Fest.
Thank You for the Honest Feedback
We know this demo let you down and that’s on us. But your feedback has been invaluable. We're making these fixes right now and hope you’ll give the updated version a try once it’s live.
Stay tuned!
The Horizon Journey Dev Team
