First and foremost, the Cosmonaut wants to convey a tale. Eternal Threads isn’t going to satiate your yearning for an Obra-Dinn-sized experience, where you have to pore over every single still and draw esoteric inferences about the dark-skinned shipmen. In the end, there is only one choice: whether or not you watch and respond to cutscenes. Is that the one I mentioned earlier? After one of the characters simply reveals the location of the key, you discover it. Watching all of the sequences, and then deleting the ones that didn’t feel right, helped me accomplish the True Ending. The voice actors, on the other hand, do a good job.Įternal Threads, on the other hand, doesn’t provide much in the way of straight-up detective.
