Jan. 2026
6.5/10 Some good art, voicing and situations with puzzles that mostly worked. Within the first hour you know every puzzle and the logic of every solution, which is where it was a bit let down. Being able to see the whole mechanic so early made it feel more like 'fetch quests' than puzzles. There are 2 things I dislike in PNC. One is where there are multiple items 'in the scenery' that would solve the puzzle, but you can't interact with them. This makes the whole puzzle feel 'constructed' rather than part of the flow of the story. The other pet peeve is where you are sent back and forth all over the map because the thing you need is only unlocked after you solve something else. For one solution to open the next problem is great, it flows, but in Slender Threads it feels more like a deliberate way to stretch out too few ideas into too long a game. Overall, I enjoyed parts of it and it's good enough - but it could have been much better with a little work.

Overall Pretty interesting game that I picked up for $9.99. Doesn't strive to do anything new other than build upon the point n click genre. The game ends on a fine note, albeit a tad rushed, and I didn't mind the ending unlike some of the negative reviews. Pros - Gorgeous animation. - Solid voice acting. - Map WITH fast travel. (Can't get one achievement if you use the fast travel though) - Interesting story as well as interesting characters. Nicely done on the setting too! - The puzzles are pretty logical especially for this type of game where they can get nonsensical quick (looking at your Deponia) - Not too long and not too short. Cons - Sometimes the game won't let you continue until you've interreacted with the correct thing prior. EX: you can't use an item on a door that you already possess until you've activated a prior action/dialogue sequence even though you've already tried using the item on the door.

Highly recommended. Vastly exceeded expectations, to the point at which I felt it was (in my opinion) in the ballpark of a LucasArts point-and-click adventure. It's an ambitious game with good voice acting, story, and humor and excellent attention to detail.

Slender Threads is a point and click adventure game with a really strange unique story. The game takes place in a small weird town where you walk up and down approximately 4-5 streets, enter stores, talk to interesting characters, and solve puzzles. The whole game takes place at night and has a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. The main game took 5 hours to complete and there is a short epilogue after the game is done that took around 20 minutes to finish. + The hand drawn art style is fantastic. Lots of beautiful locations to explore and fast travel was a helpful feature. + The voice acting is terrific, very professional. Each character you meet has a very unique voice. A+ Top Tier. + There is Zero pixel hunting in this game, which is awesome. Some people say the puzzles are easy in this game, but I think the puzzles are just right in difficulty. I only got stuck once where I would have never thought to use an item in a certain place. 99% of the puzzles are achievable on your own without a guide. + Lots of humour and well written dialog. + Excellent sound effects, design and clarity. +/- The story starts off amazing with wonder and mystery, but then completely takes a nose dive near the end of the game. +/- The music in the game is an original score. It is serviceable but nothing really stood out as fantastic or memorable. - The ending and epilogue are very divisive in reviews. I am in the camp where I thought both were absolutely horrible. I won't get into it for spoilers sake but it basically ruined the game for me and brought down my score immensely. I get what the developers were trying to convey but to me the whole thing just fell flat like a dirty pancake and I wanted it to end. - The game is priced high for the length and what you get. The game is quality in design, its just a real shame where the developers took the ending of the story. Cautiously recommended. Overall: 6/10

best point and click adventure game in 2025 so far. The game is so polished. it has an interesting premise, not too difficult puzzles and well written dialogues with lots of humor, plus a unique art style. This is what a point click adventure game should be in 2025.
