When I played the prologue back in 2022, I knew this would be a great game, and Blyts didn't disappoint. Coming from the developers who created the famous Nobodies series, Slender Threads gives the same feeling of investigation. You play a salesman, Harvey Green, who is struggling to become a writer, arriving in Vila Ventana to isolate himself and try to finish writing his book, but this vacation is cut short when someone in the inn suggests meeting another writer. Excited, Harvey headed to the man's house, only to discover he was missing for days. The problem is, the radio in that house mentioned Harvey's name! The game has many unexpected twists.

The artwork is unique, the character's style and animations are really good, and they even have expressions! The atmosphere of the whole game is dark and eerie, I enjoyed every area I've visited. The soundtracks are beautiful, fitting the atmosphere right. Now, when it comes to the voice acting, nothing can describe how outstanding their act was! It was phenomenal, especially the main character, who was voiced by Joe Gaudet, and Amber Lee Connors, who did Lena's voice; they both sounded better than any triple-A game. What surprised me the most was Alex Walker Smith; he is the composer of the game and did multiple voices. His voice was very well done, and his music is outstanding. This is why I enjoy indie games more than any mainstream games; the talent is definitely there.

Just like any Point&Click game, you get the items to use and options to either speak, use, or observe anything around you; I liked the small comments from the main characters. Nothing is repeatable when you click on anything, which makes the game unique. The puzzles are very nice; they will require you to explore the city, and you'll get a map that will allow you to travel fast to any previously visited place. I found it quite helpful. If you ever got stuck, your notepad has the hinting system, It'll guide you to what you should do next as you get a main objective as you keep advancing in the story.

It took me a little bit over seven hours to finish the game without a guide. The epilogue was a surprise I didn't expect; when you play the game, make sure not to skip the credits. I highly recommend it to people who enjoy this genre; try out the free prologue; you'll not be disappointed.
