Walking through the house and watching the characters interact is a unique experience, but it isn't one for everyone. Eternal Threads feels more like a The Second Chance Project Simulator title in which you take a day in the job of a person, and that's a good thing this game doesn't need to be anything else because it is excellent at what it does. You will navigate through a week of their lives (with a very informative HUD that I loved) back and forth and watch the same event to see how it changed and how that might affect something later down the line. Ultimately, your goal is to ensure that the house fire that occurs fails to kill any member, though you cannot stop the fire in and of itself, as it is a pivotal moment in the timeline.Īccomplishing this is relatively simple, and it is what will either make or break Eternal Threads for players the difficulty of the title doesn't feel significant, and the tasks might become mundane for the more impatient gamers. These decisions can alter things later down the timeline, often several events and a couple of days after, that you will need to rewatch and see how the story unfolded differently. The gameplay is simple, and it certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea: you sift through each event, watching as the characters (Tom, Raquel, Linda, Neil, Jenny, and Ben) live their life, and choose some of the more critical decisions. If you're going to play the Abridged mode, you might as well skip the title. Not only will you not get the full story - as the Abridged mode locks out pivotal decisions to get the best ending, secrets, and even sections of the house - but you miss out a lot on the entire gameplay aspect. Although it might seem tempting for those with less time than others to invest in the title, the Abridged version feels like an insult to the unique Eternal Threads experience, and I'd sincerely advise against experiencing the game in this mode first. You must watch their lives unfold in order to prevent their death by altering decisions to find the important choices that change the course back to the correct timeline.Īs mentioned before, there are two game modes in Eternal Threads, one that has 197 Events and 54 total Decisions to alter, while the other has a measly 121 Events and 37 Decisions. In the game, you sit through 197 Events (121 in the Abridged version, though we'll get to that later) and see the lives of six people who died in a fire in 2016 when none of them should have. I'll get this out of the way: Eternal Threads is far more a narrative adventure than a puzzle title. It is up to you, a member of "The Second Chance Project", to restore time itself, one mundane decision at a time. The result? An Earth ravaged by radioactive waste. Humanity has finally cracked the secret for time travel, though it came at a price the world's latest Pandora's Box, chronal radiation, swept through the timeline and caused seemingly insignificant decisions to change.
