What is Eternal Threads?

In this first-person story puzzle game, you explore a house in northern England and watch events from the week before a fire in 2015. As an operative repairing the timeline, you can revisit scenes in any order and change the housemates’ decisions to save all six without preventing the fire itself.

For you if...

  • +you like untangling mysteries through out-of-order scenes
  • +you enjoy tracing how small choices change later events

Not for you if...

  • you want frequent action rather than watching past events
  • you dislike revisiting decisions to explore alternate outcomes
