Eternal Threads weaves a tale of manipulation, choice and consequence, with players controlling an operative tasked with fixing corruption in the timestream. Having been dispatched to the North of England in May 2015, you arrive on the scene where six people have died in a house fire, and must ensure their survival by manipulating the choices they make in the week leading up to the fire.

Players are given complete freedom to explore the seven day timeline before the tragic events, altering major events in any order and as many times as you wish. While some choices you make will only have minor consequences, others will alter the timeline dramatically by changing existing events and adding new ones in your wake.

Each of the housemates can be saved in various different ways, having a major effect on their lives going forward. You’ll set up base in the house just hours after the events of the fire, with events playing out in suitably ghostly manner, with the environment reseting around you to match the changes that take place as result of your manipulation of time.
