This game is currently in the Humble Choice for June 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before July 4th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A game where choices matter.
Eternal Threads is a strange game where players time-travel back to a night when six people died in a fire. The goal is simple, save everyone, and the only way to do this is to view events and sometimes make choices. Those choices will change which events happen, and potentially the fates of characters. While this is a straight story-based game, you’ll be able to explore the house as you learn more about each of the characters.
At the same time, the game feels like it wants to be a horror game, except it’s not. Like not even trying to be, it just has this feeling of horror for some reason. The acting in the game works, but it feels a touch cheap and could have been better, the same is true for some of the animations, and a few times the naming of the scenes feels callous.
Pick this up if you like story games, especially that voyeuristic style that Her Story and Immortality has, or games like Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch. It doesn’t reach those same levels, but it still is an interesting experience, and I hope this team will be able to produce a second game in the genre because this is pretty unique, and with a larger budget, this would stand out as something very unique.

After having played almost all the game, I can confirm my review, it's a solid game, and an interesting story with a few flaws. Still I have enjoyed my time.
