Welcome back to Mars!
We sincerely apologize for the issues and missing features some of you experienced in our demo version. This patch was prepared based on your valuable feedback. If you couldn’t fully enjoy Horizon Journey the first time, we kindly ask you to give it another shot with this update.
To make it in time for the Steam Next Fest, we had to share the demo version as it was. Despite its obvious shortcomings, many of you still saw the game’s potential, and that gave us great motivation to keep going.
While we’re working full speed on the Early Access version, we also aim to keep improving the demo and delivering new updates and content.
Thank you for your continued support! We truly believe we can build a better Mars experience together!
