Thousand Threads

Thousand Threads is an open-world game about delivering mail, taking jobs, discovering artifacts, helping people and dealing with those you have wronged. You decide how to handle tasks, and your choices shape how characters respond to you and to each other.

Jobs and mail

Jobs include identifying an attacker, retrieving stolen items, delivering a gift and obtaining a lost keepsake. You can complete a task as requested to earn money, or betray your employer and gain an enemy. Delivering mail lets you open letters and learn more about the people you meet; some are harder to find than others.

People and consequences

You can help someone being attacked or take the other side. Characters remember and react to actions taken by you and others. You can attack, rob or kill almost anyone, but this can make enemies who tell their friends and family, leaving you to watch your back. It is almost never too late to turn old enemies into friends.

Explore and craft

Explore the landscapes, chase rabbits and deer, flee from wolves and bears, find overlooks or throw rocks into the water. You can also discover ruins and collect artifacts to sell and learn about the area's history. Gather plants, mushrooms, pelts and other materials to craft and upgrade tools, weapons and ammunition.

A different adventure

Characters' traits and relationships are randomized at the start of each new game, creating a fresh experience on each replay.
