Eternal Threads Reviews

No summary available

Eternal Threads presents a unique story with some of the best writing and character development I've experienced this year. Though it's a short and simple experience, I found myself glued to the screen to see what happens next. There isn't much else for you to do in Eternal Threads, making it the definition of a walking simulator, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Eternal Threads is a wholly unique experience and one that I definitely recommend. That said, outside of snooping in the lives of six unsuspecting strangers there’s not really any other elements to rope in gameplay-heavy players.

Marrying some frightfully clever time-scrolling with a captivating look into its characters' lives, Eternal Threads is a nosy player's dream.

Eternal Threads tells multiple emotional stories with time traveling that allows you to shape and experience a story by altering choices. Not every choice leads to a desired outcome, which helps deliver a challenge and adds complexity to the overall narrative. While the graphics and voice acting could use some work, this is a thrilling narrative experience for anyone who wants a good story.

An absorbing, interactive Doctor Who-style time mystery, which is, without a doubt, wholly unique.

Go back in time to fix broken hearts.

Can one tiny change in an event completely alter someone’s life? I’ve always been fascinated with that question. If I left home for work an hour earlier one day, or if I didn’t go out for lunch that day, could it possibly vary the course my life was taking? Eternal Threads is a narrative walking sim that gives you the power to manipulate the timeline of six people’s lives in order to save them from a house fire. What elements of each person’s life need to be reshaped to keep them al...

If you enjoy clever puzzlers or first person, narrative-driven tales, Eternal Threads should be on your radar. Some of the tales at play can be confronting, but playing with time and discovering the outcomes has rarely felt so enthralling.

In Eternal Threads, you'll care about bringing closure to characters' stressful circumstances because of emotional scenes and get sucked into the mysterious secrets they all hide from each other. Yet unfortunately, I have some gripes with the game that knocks the gameplay down to a dull experience after the first hour and a few design choices that missed the mark and broke my immersion.

You won’t have played anything like Eternal Threads before, and unless Cosmonaut Studios makes a follow-up, you likely never will again. This is a remarkable piece of storytelling, expertly written and crafted, weaving together the ordinary and the futuristic to create something incredibly compelling. You won’t want to put it down, and once you’ve finished, you’ll be thinking about it for weeks to come. It truly is something special.

Slightly janky graphics can't bring down this great story experience. If Eternal Threads is a walking sim, it's the best we've had in years.

Eternal Threads is a narrative driven, time manipulation game that ends up being nothing more than a walking simulator and cutscene watcher. If you're into making some binary decisions to alter some future events on the timeline, then I recommend checking out the demo first. This game is much better watched, because it's just not fun to play.
