THRESHOLD

在那座山顶，连呼吸都是奢侈品 在山顶的荒凉车站之中，一列火车载着贵重的货物，隆隆驶向未知的终点。现在，轮到你来换班了。 这就是《边界点》的开场。你来了，你坐下了，你开始工作了。好像一切都很正常。 但很快你会发现，这里的每一口呼吸都在提醒你：你不属于这里。 前半小时，你只是在机械地完成工作。吹哨、换票、吸氧、吐血、继续吹哨。 但慢慢地，游戏开始向你展示它真正的模样。地图上到处藏着秘密：一具尸体、一个可以用口哨打开的隐藏门、一个有着用不完空气的神秘地方。你开始问问题。阿莫是你的同事，他愿意回答你任何问题——除了“那个”问题。 他不愿意骗你，所以尽量别逼他说谎。 [hr][/hr] 该死的隐晦结局，想表达的东西无法明说 玩法是“通马桶”，但是我个人喜欢这种诡异的感觉和不同结局的展现 其实是不推荐这游戏的，这游戏流程就1-2小时左右，不适合玩 如果感兴趣非常建议去搜索相关的剧情解读和游戏解读，这是体验最好的办法，或者你喜欢《铁肺》那种在小体量场景里深挖叙事的作品，这座山顶值得你爬一趟。 [b]只是别忘了带氧气瓶。[/b]

wonderful atmosphere and the gameplay was fun; repetitive, but in a hypnotic kinda way unfortunately the constant bugs and subsequent restarts left me feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with the lack of substance within the actual story itself sadly underwhelming, at least as far as mysteries go

абсолтюный симулятор будущей рашки

why would you play it more than once

narrative/story forward, adventure games, and the like are my bread and butter with video games. have played countless titles with variable story branches and outcomes at this point so i want to stress how complimentary it is when i say that Threshold has what feels like among the best decision making and otherwise player impact of nearly anything i've played? was similarly impressed with the visual and sound design here with how much the game gets out of what is in the end a relatively small area. the border post and surrounding areas high in the mountains are surprisingly dense in things to do and see. most of which again tying back in to the impact on the broader story mentioned above. played through 2.5 times to see some variances in outcome and get all the steam achievements. don't see this having endless replay value due to the nature of some of this being you know, work (by design ofc) but it's absolutely worth dipping in a few times to see what it has to offer. could see coming back to this after a decent amount of time away, for sure.

I LOVE this game. In the beggining i had a major problem, i though i had softlocked myself, but i managed to resolve it. The retro visual aesthetic is soo pretty. The logic isn't complicated, and you could 100 percent it in less than 3 hours. The message it spreads is also relevant. One of the best psychological horrors I've played.

.

The look and atmosphere are great, the whole concept for the game is really creative. Unfortunately I encountered some bugs. I got stuck in geometry once and the game hitched for me every so often and these got increasingly more intrusive the longer I played which is a shame. Despite that I still ended up curious enough to replay it twice in order to see 3 different endings but ultimately it left me wanting and I'm not entirely sure if that's good or bad. Regardless, I still think it's worth experiencing.

[b]One of my favorite games I played in 2025 with Mouthwashing, CRITICAL REFLEX never disappoints (although Mouthwashing is on a completely different level and an incredible masterpiece, but that's not the subject).[/b] While playing, I felt a tension and sense of urgency I haven't felt since Pathologic 2. Everything it does, it does to perfection. But I won't spoil anything, as I really recommend to go blind. It's an experience that only works once (well, I played the game twice, but the second playthrough didn't have the same impact). Your character is clueless, and so should you. Note that there are a few bugs if you quit and relaunch the game (audio setting reset, a door that stay locked, and another one I don't remember), but as the game is very short (I'd say 2-3 hours top), it shouldn't be a problem as you will probably play it in one sitting. The shortness of the game might be the only downside, but the game wouldn't have worked if it was longer, as it would either get repetitive, or less impactful. Or it would need to be more ambitious and switch its game design after a certain point, but we're talking about a solo dev doing this on his free time. [b]So I'd say it's perfect as it is : a really impactful experience. If you really think it's a bit expensive for 2-3 hours of """entertainment""", then wait for a sale, but I strongly advise against watching the game on Youtube. You HAVE to go through what's your character is going through.[/b] [i]PS : if you think the game is too hard, feel free to message me, as there is a hidden difficulty mechanic, but talking about it would be a spoiler.[/i]
