Eternal Threads tells multiple emotional stories with time traveling that allows you to shape and experience a story by altering choices.

Eternal Threads presents a unique story with some of the best writing and character development I've experienced this year.

An irrefutably cool concept of “fixing the past to save the future” situated within a fascinating environment is bogged down by underwhelming writing, dated graphics, and a good deal of unnecessary, uninteresting content. For a potential-filled game about time travel, Eternal Threads is frustratingly stuck in the past.

Marrying some frightfully clever time-scrolling with a captivating look into its characters' lives, Eternal Threads is a nosy player's dream.
