If you have been wanting to play Eternal Threads on other gaming consoles, then you are in for a surprise. It was announced on May 10th that the PC game will be heading to gaming consoles on May 23rd of this year. Along with the announcement, a “console trailer” for the game was also dropped.
The puzzle adventure time manipulation choice matter single-player game is being published by Secret Mode and developed by Cosmonaut Studios. Eternal Threads originally came out in 2022 for PC, and you can find the PC game on Steam. When the game is released on May 23rd of this year, it will be released on gaming consoles such as PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Eternal Threads is a game where the player will be an “operative” who is “assigned to fix corruption in the timestream, you have been sent to the North of England in May 2015, where six people died in house fire”. Since you are forbidden from putting out the fire, you must “instead manipulate the choices made by the housemates in the week leading up to it so that they all survive the event”.
In the beginning, players are able to freely traverse “the seven-day timeline before the fire”. Players will be able to “watch and alter” important “events from the entire week as many times as they like and in whatever order they wish”. Certain decisions players make, like “moving objects around the house,” will have “minor effect on the timeline”. Major changes, on the other hand, can “rewrite the timeline by changing existing events, adding new events and even replacing other events entirely”. According to the game’s Steam Page, here are the features of the game:
Choose how you want to follow the game’s story
The complete narrative follows the six main characters through multiple decisions across multiple timelines and you can experience these in any way you choose.
You can concentrate on just one particular character’s storyline at a time, following their choices across the timelines and then go back to the start and follow another character.
You can approach the story like a forensic detective, observe the final outcomes of the story and then work backwards along the timeline – essentially observing the effects and then determining their cause.
Or you can just watch things in chronological order, experiencing the timeline unfold as you observe and change the decisions that the characters face as the week progresses.
Watch and change things as many times as you like
Can’t remember exactly what happened in an event? Changed a decision and you’re not sure you like the consequences? That’s fine. Just pop back along the timeline and watch and change whatever you like, whenever you like, as many times as you like.
Change the past to affect the future
Setting up temporary base in the house mere hours after the fire, provides a unique perspective on events. As you look back through the timeline, past events play out in front of you in ghostly form, with the smoke and fire damaged house a constant reminder of what is to come. In addition, as you manipulate the past, the environment can be reset around you to match the changes taking place. Some new objects will appear, others will move around the house and the contents of rooms can change substantially as you change the past.
