Oct. 2025
This is one of the best games I’ve played in 2025. The ending and remaining achievements strongly suggest alternate endings and additional secrets, but while I might return at some point, my first playthrough was a perfect narrative experience. Atmosphere, story, mechanics are all wound perfectly tight. Runs perfect on Steam Deck.

There are reasons I really really respect this game, and reasons it really lost my respect. After understanding what's going on and getting the intended ending once, I immediately restarted the game and tried to be as non-compliant as possible from square zero, and everything fell apart. The extremely compelling information progression, the elegant thematic messaging, what does any of it count for if on denying the first whistle blow I can do literally nothing. I actually died on my first playthrough very close to the end, and on my second post checkpoint when I realized I needed MO in order to start building the bridge to the observatory EVEN if the netting had already broken I was angry, and disappointed. Similarly when I realized digging the grave without full info nets nothing. Terrible. Inexcusable. But it's so much worse. You start from the beginning again and the canisters sitting on the ground already aren't even interactable until whistling. Neither are planks. And then, not even accommodating for MO being gone if you don't whistle until after he goes down. Come on. I really respect what this game is trying to do, but the fact that it crumbles if you push it to its limits when it is primarily an information game is not good. I would say play it. There's a lot of really cool stuff going on here made by someone who clearly cares about the medium. But some of the limitations in interactivity just to deny the player from "carrying information over" between playthroughs or prevent some players from getting early progression is, imo, not in the spirit of the medium at all.

INTERESTING. Well-crafted. Intriguing. My ever-continuing search for good psychological horror remains fruitful. What's not fruitful? The job you're given in Threshold. My god, so THAT'S why there's a little mouth in the UI. But this job provides good healthcare, how lucky are we! I love a game that reminds me of the state my country is in. The gameplay loop is shockingly immersive. There's nothing tedious, here. Every few minutes you discover a new little tidbit of information so that you can begin to put together what you're doing here, why you're here, what the hell is going on... Not horror in the traditional sense, but if you'd like to ruminate on the future of the planet and what sorts of crapass jobs mankind will have to endure to keep everyone alive, then you'll certainly start to feel some existential dread.

there's something very compelling about how dire this game is, and a lot of that is purely the audio design of the whole thing. i understand criticisms that it's slow, but i also wonder what people expected— this game is honest with you right off the bat. "welcome to the most boring and stressful maintenance job in the country." finding comfort in the circumstances and unease of your new job in this game is something interesting— you never quite feel all the way at ease. and it can be easy, at a point, even if you play at the higher difficulties, but that ease feels earned when everything is a currency. everything you need to get more air is at a distance from everything else, and distance spends the breath you earn with every step. at 7 hours, ive eaten this game up to the bones, and i think it was very worth the price. :) train must run
