bit short but still really good, wish some mechanics like staring at things to ask questions were explained.

Don't look up anything about this game! If you like a short, weird indie horror experience that has multiple optional playtroughs up on it's sleeve, you will like THRESHOLD! Buy it, experience it and then spend hours and hours thinking about it. And then play it again!

Even the all knowing clerk doesn't know how Julien managed to release an indie game while working in a mainstream game studio and raising a newborn baby at the same time, and he still has time to reply to my messages!

This game is a short one. You can finish a run of it in less than an hour, but you'll have to run it 3-4 times if you want every achievement. Beyond that, it's a mostly atmospheric experience. There is a pretty obvious message the dev is communicating, but that's not a detriment. I think this game is very honest about what it is and if you go in understanding that this is a short, immersive experience, then you will find yourself pleased with it. I personally enjoyed it, although I'm a sucker for low poly atmospheric horror, and if those just aren't your vibe then this won't be either. Overall though, I think it's worth the price to support more games like this. If anyone needs me, me and my ducky Martin will be just over that hill.

One Crunchy Bite There will be a TL;DR at the end. ~ Wow. I played through the core experience in under two hours, and upon going back, there wasn’t much more to wrap my head around! The negatives of the experience are clear at the end of it: It’s very short, the experience is generally shallow, and there isn’t much texture to keep one going. But there’s a lot going on in this very simple experience, tags that tickled my brain and gave me serotonin: Cosmic horror, grit, mystery, exploration, clever writing, immersive worldbuilding, uneasy aesthetic, etc. Threshold does a fantastic job at being weird and, in spite of its generally shallow presentation, provides a certain aura of depth that is very welcome and surprising. It feels less like a grand game than a single, very well crafted level with open endings - like a perplexing and intricate episode of a quality TV show. I can certainly say that I enjoyed my time with the game, although I must confess that the offering price is particularly steep. The game is meant to be a single level that is replayed over and over to extract different value to walk away with, but that means walking through the same intros and padded dialogue. It’s interesting, but unimportant. You’re going to be through the experience in about an hour, and replaying the game is going to give you an opportunity to explore more paths, but at the end of the day you’re basically messing around in one room and rewatching the same show over and over with minor differences. Consider it a movie ticket and enjoy the ride, revisit for free refills if you like the taste - but I can assure you that one bit’s all you’re going to need, because it’s quality and compact. ~ TL;DR 6/10 Threshold is an Above Average game. It may leave you wanting for more, a lot more, while filling your mind with questions; painful and abrupt as the sensations' end might be, there’s no denying how fulfilling it is overall. A quick refresher, a single breath - just dig your teeth in and enjoy what it has to offer, even though you’ll likely be spitting out leftover chunks in your mouth; abandoned with the feeling as though you deserve a lot more than something so small.
