Our Expert Score

88/100

Slender Threads is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. As Harvey, you enter Villa Achille and immediately feel a sense of dread that never quite leaves you. The hand-drawn art style is gorgeous in a macabre way, and the voice acting really sells the town's eccentric and often terrifying residents. It’s a point-and-click adventure that respects the player's intelligence without being unfairly obtuse.

The narrative is the real star here. It’s dark, surreal, and genuinely surprising. Unlike many mobile thrillers, the pacing is excellent, and the environmental puzzles feel like they actually belong in the world rather than just being arbitrary roadblocks. If you are a fan of Twin Peaks or classic LucasArts adventures, this is a must-play experience that will stick with you long after the credits roll.
