Eternal Threads

Interesting game. It's a slow burn at first, witnessing a week's worth of interactions between six people living in the same flat. Only after watching the entire sequence of events does the puzzle work start, and the game plays out a bit like a visual novel. It honestly seems like a risky approach, and I wasn't sure I would like it at first, but the characters are interesting and likeable, and the voice acting is very good. The narrative explores some pretty mature themes and it's satisfying to influence the characters' decisions in order to bring each of their stories to a positive conclusion. Not the best choice if you want instant plot progression and suspense, but I thought it was worth it in the end.

I did not know what to expect coming into this game, kinda just bought it on a whim, overall great game. It is mainly a walking sim with a detective like arc to save all 6 roommates. There is more I have to figure out in order to get a 100% but should be pretty manageable with another playthrough.

I enjoyed this game SO much. It was a recommendation on a YT video (I am sorry, can't remember who) and I had never heard of it - at all. Shame, because more people should try it out if they like puzzlers like Golden Idol or Obra Dinn. It is very different in its play style and story, but still at its heart a logic puzzle that is very satisfying as you chip away at the mysteries. I finished it, last year, but am back for a second round because I never hit that FINAL button. I saved everyone, stupidly went back to try and find a small mystery that I left unsolved, and I changed the timeline - lost 2 people and ruined my perfect streak. One thing to keep in mind about this game, it is complex and subtle changes can have devastating effects. No worries, I am thrilled to go back again from the beginning and try to get that perfect run one more time. It plays perfectly on my LCD SteamDeck, which makes it so easy to play anywhere, and get cozy with because you will be here for hours working out this mystery.

***Review sem ter finalizado o jogo*** Gostaria de estar escrevendo uma review positiva sobre o jogo, mas este infelizmente não é o caso. A premissa de Eternal Threads é muito interessante e intrigante, mas infelizmente seu maior trunfo é, também, sua pior característica. Realmente me esforcei para finalizar a história, mas são tantos eventos desnecessários e sem sentido que ocorrem durante o jogo... e, a cada um deles, sentia que a história não ia para frente e perdia minha atenção. Jogos que passam têm seu foco primordial na narrativa precisam acertar a medida de cenas cativantes e que mantém o jogador interessado na história contada e, também, nas cenas que não avançam a trama contada. Eternal Threads, na minha opinião, iniciou com um ideia cativante mas extrapolou nos eventos insignificantes e repetitivos. Espero que esse conceito não seja descartado em uma eventual sequência, mas a narrativa precisa de mais atenção.

Very unique gameplay, well worth your money and time.

Juegazo con tomas de decisiones reales. Poca gente lo conoce por lo que veo y es una pena porque se ha convertido en uno de mis indies favoritos. Apenas hay juegos donde la toma de decisiones tenga tanto impacto. Me encantó.
