- 75% off Eternal Threads in the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase - 23 May 2024
From May 23rd – May 30th, Eternal Threads will be 75% off in the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase. The Cerebral Puzzle Showcase is an annual event on Steam which showcases and celebrates some of the world’s best “thinky games”. What is a Thinky Game? Well, it’s a puzzle game, but more specifically it could be any sort of game that really makes you think, as you play. In Eternal Threads, you’ll have to carefully consider the decisions you make, as each choice will have consequences. As an operative tasked with fixing corruption in the timestream, you have been sent to the North of England in May 2015, where six people died in a house fire. Prohibited from simply stopping 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. Today we are also celebrating the launch of Eternal Threads on consoles. This non-linear,…

- The Evil Within is Epic Games Store’s next free game – as Shinji Mikami teases his return - 13 October 2023
The Epic Games Store has confirmed next week's free games, one of which is the very seasonally appropriate The Evil Within . If you were looking for a pretty good horror game to play through this Halloween, Epic Games has you covered. Starting October 19, you'll be able to claim the Tango Gameworks developed and Bethesda published The Evil Within, directed by none other than Resident Evil 1 through 4 director Shinji Mikami. Released in 2014, The Evil Within very much feels like a spiritual successor of sorts to the Resident Evil 4 era of games, where you play as Sebastian Castellanos, a former police officer who gets roped into a horrifying world filled with all kinds of monsters. It's not exactly a masterpiece, but it's got some good scares and monster designs, and for the price of free you really can't go wrong. It's good timing, too, as it seems like Mikami has teased his intention t…

The Independent Games Festival (IGF) announced the nominees of its annual awards yesterday, and Eternal Threads, the narrative-driven puzzle game from Liverpool developer Cosmonaut Studios, received an Honorable Mention in the category of Excellence in Narrative. Eternal Threads is a single-player, timeline-hopping, first-person story-driven puzzle game about choice and consequence. As an operative, you have been sent back to 2015, where six people died in a house fire.

- Eternal Threads now on sale & upcoming pricing change - 23 June 2022
We have been blown away by the response to the release of Eternal Threads by Cosmonaut Studios. It has been such a joy to us all to see our players give the game such high praise AND for press to have reviewed the game so highly. As we hoped, people have loved exploring the house: trying to save its inhabitants and altering the past to save the future. What we didn’t see was our release price not aligning with our fans’ expectations. We’re going to hold our hands up: at a time when global prices and the squeeze on our players have been very intense, we got our pricing wrong. Firstly, we are so grateful for those players who did buy Eternal Threads and we thank them for their support and custom. In return we will shortly be gifting two Secret Mode titles to those players, directly into their game libraries. Secondly, we have activated a 50% discount very early in the game’s lifecycle. Si…

- Eternal Threads review: Eastenders meets time travel meets electrical safety - 18 May 2022
Time travel stories can have pretty high stakes, because usually you only travel in time when you really need to change something. A killer robot is trying to kill a lady because of something her son will eventually do, that kind of thing. My favourite episodes of Doctor Who, by contrast, were always the ones where the Doctor met a miserable dog-alien thousands of years in the future, and the dog alien is like "Not only is the planet about to blow, but my marriage is in trouble," and then the episode was mostly about the latter issue rather than the former. This is all by way of introduction to Eternal Threads , a puzzle game where you go back in time to stop everyone in a house share dying in a fire. To save a present that has been rendered apocalyptic by time travel itself, you are part of a team who go back and change tiny things in the past to fix it, in this case 2015. While it is…
