There are a total of 197 events across the timeline, along which Operator 43 can freely travel back and forth to view any available event many times as necessary, with some viewable only after some specific choices have been made. The events will be (re)played at the location they unfolded and you’ll have to be within the vicinity of the signal booster in order to be able to view them. These bite-sized holographic events are then viewable via 43’s handheld visualiser. Once at the location, 43 has to place signal boosters around the house that will beam holograms to reenact snippets of scenarios that involve the housemates. While there are some aspects of the plot that I wish were more fleshed out such as about the Second Chance Project and its time-travelling tech, this title does the effort of immersing the player in its universe.
Not only does it involve the exciting premise of manipulating time to change the course of events but also has the aim to save people so not much can go wrong, right? But you’ll be surprised by the plot twists and gameplay challenges that you’ll encounter hidden under this seemingly simple premise. If you are a fan of sci-fi narratives, Eternal Threads’ premise might already sound enticing. And so, our time-travelling operative starts scrutinising the events and interactions experienced by the house’s tenants in order to rescue them and find out what is causing the anomaly. The easy option, to have 43 put out the fire by themselves, is out of the question due to the temporal anomalies that this will create. Our Operator has to perform slight alterations in the housemates’ decision during the week leading up to the fatal incident so as to save all six lives. The game begins when 43 is assigned the case of a house fire in the North of England that took the life of its six tenants. The latter works to fix time corruptions in the past by sending its operatives back in time so as to restore the timestream. In Eternal Threads, you play as Operator 43 working for the secretive Second Chance Project.
So let’s take a closer look at what this narrative puzzle-adventure game has to offer!

However, after having played and completed the full game, I can say that I was positively surprised by what the integral experience delivered. While I noted the potentials of the premise during my time with the 2-hour demo, there were aspects that made me feel more cautious about the title. Eternal Threads is a title that I had the chance to preview last month.
