Reviews for The Pale Beyond:
[Saltstone Studios] has smashed their first game out of the park! What a wonderful first experience from them. The Pale Beyond is a classy game that simply oozes quality, authenticity, and confidence with a casual aplomb. It unashamedly knows what it’s trying to be and easily succeeds in doing so.

The Pale Beyond is a masterclass in tone and atmosphere informing gameplay. As Captain Robin Shaw, you’ll need to make tough decisions constantly, but this stressful journey is well worth seeing through to the end.
– Gaming Trend
[Saltstone Studios]‘ game is by no means the first of its kind to force you through hardships and invite you to confront your own regrettable choices. But its decision to show you the consequences of those actions at all times proves fascinating, in one sense heightening the artifice of everything you’re doing, but also finding ways to make that work within the context of its story.
