Thread the Void

Thread the Void is an action/arcade game in which you weave through neon blocks while moving through tunnels. It can be played with a VR headset or as a classic PC game without one. In each tunnel, you try to activate eight strips while avoiding collisions that reduce your health; your health slowly recovers after a hit.

Tunnels and choices

The game has eight levels, each set in a tunnel of brightly colored neon blocks. As the pace increases, you steer through obstacles and build your score. At a monolith, you choose between a dark, uncertain route and a safe, predictable entryway, weighing the risk to your remaining health against the possibility of a higher score. Activating all eight strips in all eight tunnels unlocks the final cutscene.

Music and scores

Eight soundtracks use tailor-made musical scales and motifs. Random generation means the music does not play the same way twice. A leaderboard lets you compare your top scores and lifetime scores with other players.

VR and controls

VR support is available for Meta Quest and HTC Vive headsets. You can play without VR controllers, using a headset and head and neck movement. Without a VR headset, the game switches to a PC version controlled with a mouse and keyboard; gamepads including Xbox, PS5 with gyro, and Steam Deck are also supported through Steam Input.
