THRESHOLD

wonderful atmosphere and the gameplay was fun; repetitive, but in a hypnotic kinda way unfortunately the constant bugs and subsequent restarts left me feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with the lack of substance within the actual story itself sadly underwhelming, at least as far as mysteries go

THRESHOLD propose le temps de quelques heures l'expérience d'un travail à la fois aliénant par sa répétitivité et opaque au travailleur même, non sans rappeler la série très bonne série Severance, dans laquelle les employés ne connaissent pas les tenants et aboutissants de leur travail. Au sommet d'une montagne, isolé, c'est votre premier jour ici. Mo, un ouvrier expérimenté vous acueille et vous explique votre tâche : surveiller la vitesse d'un train et siffler lorsqu'il ralentit, pour qu'il augmente la cadence. Ici l'air se fait rare, et il faut garder un oeil attentif sur sa respiration, et consommer des bouteilles d'oxygène lorsque votre souffle se fait court (d'abord veiller à en avoir un stock suffisant !). Mais vous prendrez le temps d'explorer les alentours, et assez vite vous serez assailli de questions : que contient le train ? mais pourquoi est-ce que je fais ce job ? Pour ces raisons, je recommande THRESHOLD, une courte expérience intéressante et mystérieuse, et en plus, c'est français !

干我们这行，你得牙口好

абсолтюный симулятор будущей рашки

[b]One of my favorite games I played in 2025 with Mouthwashing, CRITICAL REFLEX never disappoints (although Mouthwashing is on a completely different level and an incredible masterpiece, but that's not the subject).[/b] While playing, I felt a tension and sense of urgency I haven't felt since Pathologic 2. Everything it does, it does to perfection. But I won't spoil anything, as I really recommend to go blind. It's an experience that only works once (well, I played the game twice, but the second playthrough didn't have the same impact). Your character is clueless, and so should you. Note that there are a few bugs if you quit and relaunch the game (audio setting reset, a door that stay locked, and another one I don't remember), but as the game is very short (I'd say 2-3 hours top), it shouldn't be a problem as you will probably play it in one sitting. The shortness of the game might be the only downside, but the game wouldn't have worked if it was longer, as it would either get repetitive, or less impactful. Or it would need to be more ambitious and switch its game design after a certain point, but we're talking about a solo dev doing this on his free time. [b]So I'd say it's perfect as it is : a really impactful experience. If you really think it's a bit expensive for 2-3 hours of """entertainment""", then wait for a sale, but I strongly advise against watching the game on Youtube. You HAVE to go through what's your character is going through.[/b] [i]PS : if you think the game is too hard, feel free to message me, as there is a hidden difficulty mechanic, but talking about it would be a spoiler.[/i]

waste of time, PETA garbage

Constant, game-breaking progression bugs. Not worth the hassle.

The look and atmosphere are great, the whole concept for the game is really creative. Unfortunately I encountered some bugs. I got stuck in geometry once and the game hitched for me every so often and these got increasingly more intrusive the longer I played which is a shame. Despite that I still ended up curious enough to replay it twice in order to see 3 different endings but ultimately it left me wanting and I'm not entirely sure if that's good or bad. Regardless, I still think it's worth experiencing.
