Hey everyone! It’s been just over two months since the release of Slender Threads, and we’re thrilled with how things have gone so far. The game has been really well received — we’ve got over 280 reviews and a 94% positive rating. Thank you all so much for playing and sharing your thoughts. We wanted to take a moment to talk about the ending. We knew from the start it might be divisive — something some players would love, and others… not so much. We've seen a few comments suggesting the ending felt rushed or improvised, and we want to make one thing absolutely clear: that couldn’t be further f

Hey everyone! Today marks one week since the launch of Slender Threads, and we want to take a moment to thank you all for the incredible support we've received. About the Launch Delay We know the game was delayed by two hours at launch, and we want to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Unfortunately, this was due to an issue with Steam's partner platform, which was out of our control. However, we understand that this may have affected some players' experiences. We wrote an article detailing what happened for those interested: Launching a Game Despite Steam Game Reception Des

Hi there amigos! May is almost gone, and June finds us working at full throttle! We've reached that point where things seem to move slowly, but the workload hasn't diminished an inch. We keep working on the script and smoothing some things that came up in the playtesting, hoping to be able to start the V.O. talent casting soon and then the voice recording. We've also started working on the achievements, hoping you'll have a blast finding them! We are soon moving to the next playtest phase, which involves external testers. So, aside from possible bug fixing, fingers crossed for them to enjoy Sl

Hi there! Welcome to the first update of the year! We know it's been a while, but late 2022 was kind of boring news. We were mostly playtesting and polishing some details, which was time consuming. So, back to Slender Threads, Playtesting made us rethink some things here and there. And although we love how the game is going, we wanted to add the cherry on top. So, here is what we've done since our last update: - We have around 20 new scenes, going from the original 70 to 90. - Added some cutscenes to build the atmosphere where needed. - We are working on a new trailer to represent the actual g
