Threshold PC

Threshold is an adventure game offering an incredibly gloomy style. The development of this game was led by Julien Eveille - an independent developer who gained experience working for Arkane Studios and Crytek.

Plot

In Threshold we play the role of a border guard stationed at a post located on the top of the highest mountain in his country. His task is to ensure that the never-ending train passing through there is in constant motion. As we progress along with the protagonist, we try to find out what the train is carrying and what is behind the high border wall. By examining the surroundings in solo expeditions and also sending letters to the capital, we gradually learn the brutal truth about the world around us.

The hero is not doomed to a solitary journey, as he is accompanied by his collaborator - Mo. How their common story will end depends on our actions and the choices we make.

Gameplay

In Threshold we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). At the beginning, we can choose the country whose border we must guard. The list consists of selected European, Asian, African and American countries.

As our post is located at an extremely high altitude, there is very little air here. Wanting to save oxygen, both our hero and his companion do not speak to each other (Mo communicates with us using notes). Additionally, guards can save themselves with special oxygen containers.

There are also other useful tools available to the protagonist, such as a whistle (which allows us to speed up the train), a bucket, and planks, which he uses to solve problems encountered along the way (such as repairing a clogged water filter).

Graphics

The graphic design of Threshold is kept in a retro style straight from the second half of the 1990s.
