In the coming months, you can look forward to sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes content, and more updates as we approach the official release.

Your patience and understanding have been incredible throughout this journey, and we are committed to making this game the best it can be. As we embark on this exciting year together, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude once again for being part of this journey.

Hey there!

It's been a while since our last update, and weve been eager to share Slender Threads progress with you. We're so grateful for your unwavering support, and we want you to know that we are working our best for your patience to pay off in a big way. So, let's dive into what's been happening in the eerie Villa Ventana!


We've been hard at work, and one of the most thrilling developments is the implementation of music and sound effects. From haunting melodies to heart-pounding beats, we're working on the implementation of an auditory journey that will enhance every moment of your gameplay.


As we've previously mentioned, the scripts fine-tuning is coming to an end. We're getting closer to locking in Harveys fate! Every line of dialogue, every plot twist, and every character interaction is being meticulously revised to ensure a narrative that's not just immersive but truly unforgettable.
And speaking of the script, we're finally gearing up for our favorite development stage. Voice acting recording! Our talented voice actors are getting ready to bring Slender Threads characters to life. If you've already played the Prologue, you'll know how his interpretations add depth and emotion taking the Slender Threads experience to another level, making you feel closer to the story and its inhabitants. If you haven't, stop wondering, and go check it out! It's available and free to play on Steam.

Of course, it's not just about adding the finishing touches. We've been doing lots of playtesting to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for the release date. If all goes according to plan, we're aiming for a launch by mid 2024. We know you're excited, and we want to assure you that the extra time we're taking will result in a gaming experience that's absolutely worth the wait. We're putting our heart and soul into this project.

See you in the next update!

See you in the next update!

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 Slender Threads as much as we do.

We didn't want to say goodbye without sharing some captures of the last cutscenes we've been working on (no spoiling involved =P )




See you in the next update!

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 game with its improvements.
- We are working on a playable epilogue (Just a little after-game experience to add a new point of view).

And here is what we have ahead:
- More playtesting
- Closing the script
- Voice recording
- Localization

Here's an advance from one of the new scenes:



Stay tuned.
See you in the next update!

Hey there!

Festival season is here, and we have some news we'd love to share!

As the playtesting moves forward, we took some time to participate in the EVA play 2022. EVA is one of South America's most significant game events, and this year was its 20th anniversary. It was an excellent opportunity to showcase Slender Threads and see people playing it live. We took home some fantastic feedback!

The cherry top was Slender Threads' nomination for EVA Awards!
Talking festivals, another great news is that Slender Threads is one of the nominees for the upcoming Indie Cade 2022 starting on November 4th!



Just in case that wasn't enough and you want to hear more, Slender Threads will be showcased on the upcoming Steam Next Fest! So join us next week on Steam and be ready to get spooked!

Hey there!

We hope you are doing great.
August has gone, and spring is coming to South America!

Tons of playtesting is happening here lately, and we've been working on a new trailer which will hopefully be released soon.
We keep polishing dialogs and scenes and working on details as well.

Last but not (at all!) least, We are thrilled to share that we are now Nintendo Developers!
We already got the dev kit and will soon start doing some tests.



See you next month for September's update!

Hey there!

July is almost gone, and we are still on track.

Let's lighten Villa Ventana's Darkness for a little while and see how everything starts falling into place.

We devs focus on internal playtesting while our art and music teams fly over missing pieces.
For those who played Prologue: Harvey is getting closer to Lena, and everything in between is almost done. For Those who haven't played it... what are you waiting for?

Internal playtesting has given us some details to work on to make everything flow as we intended. Once we are thrilled with its results, we'll move to detail polishing... but that's material for the next log (which may come with a few surprises we can't share right now).

Before saying goodbye, we'd like to share a live music session the incredible Alex Walker Smith from Givit Sound LLC has managed to put together for when... wait! We are not spoiling it... And yes, those are a lot of strings!

See you next month!

Hey there!

Let's shake the dust here... We know it's been a long since the last update, but we've used that time wisely.
We've reached that point where the news gets more interesting and have decided to keep you more updated on the game status. So, from now on, we'll try to make an update every month until the launch.

[h3]We are stepping into the final development stage. What does it mean?[/h3]
We have finished:

• All game scenes. Counting over 70, most of them are scrollable (Still can't believe that if we look back to our beginnings).
  
• Painting and animating more than 30 'living' characters.
  
• Almost every dialog line.
  

• Gestures: If you've had the opportunity to play the Prologue, you may have noticed that characters gesture according to the conversation.
  
• Making the town alive, with animations here and there.
  
• Music and sound effects.
  
• Voices (at this point, we have to be 100% sure the dialogs are final)
  
• Localization to over 8 languages.
  
• Optimization.
  
• Testing.
  
• Bug fixing.
  

Slender Threads is part of the Big Adventure Event 2022 running from Jan 20 - Jan 24

We'll be streaming the Prologue gameplay to share the beginning of this chilling journey through Villa Ventana!

We hope to see you there :)

Hey everyone!

It's been two months since the release of Slender Threads' Prologue and we've got great comments since.
Those hooked on the story keep asking themselves what will happen with Villa Ventana's inhabitants?

We wanted to thank all of you who took the time to play it and left a review. The prologue got 124 comments so far, with over 98% positive! If you played it and loved it, please show us some love and take a few minutes to leave a review. Our next goal is to reach 500 comments and achieve an overwhelmingly positive review status!



We'd also like to thank all the suggestions we've got. They help us to keep improving. Today we've made an update with some of them:

• Apple M1 fix.
  
• Subtitles added option: off
  
• Subtitles can be skipped only with these keys: Enter, Space, Tab, and mouse keys.
  
• French language minor fix.
  
• Minor bug fixes.
  

Dear friends!

We are entering the last quarter of another crazy year and we hope you are all safe and doing well.
This 2021 was pretty much all about hard work and now it's time for a bit of fun. We are reaching to share the release of Slender Threads' Prologue.

Several years after we started our developing journey, we can say that we've grown as a team and are ready now to take on new challenges.
Making Slender Threads possible without crowdsourcing was a huge step. Being an Indie Studio based in South America is not easy. It sort of makes the road a little bumpier most of the time, but we found that facing obstacles makes us stronger and pushes our goals further.

If you enjoyed our adventures, Kelvin and the Infamous Machine or Nobodies, we hope this new game will be up to the task.

Slender Threads is a point-and-click thriller adventure with spreads of fun. We hope it'll make you jump off your chair and steal a good laugh.



[h3]About Slender Threads[/h3]

The moment he arrives in Villa Ventana, Harvey Green rolls his eyes. All he sees is one more lifeless town, no different from countless others he passes through as a traveling bookseller.
What Harvey is not seeing is that he has been called to Villa Ventana to play a part. Strings, pulled by some hidden presence, begin drawing him into a web of inevitability.
A recurring nightmare. Citizen disappearances. A chain of alluringly inexplicable events sets Harvey on a path toward a terrifying revelation about his own destiny.
Slender Threads explores the connections between disparate events and the extent to which we possess the agency to alter our fated course.

The prologue represents around 1 of the 8-10 hours of the full game. Featuring English voice acting, and Spanish, French, German, Italian subtitles.

If you love the idea and want to join us on this new adventure, there are two ways you can help us:

• Playing the Free Prologue and leaving us a review!
  
• Sharing it (tweets, emails, old classic phone calls are welcomed if they help to spread the news!)
