About THRESHOLD
Breathe in.
High in the mountains, an endless train thunders through a decaying station. This is the Border Post. Your job is simple: blow a whistle to keep the train on schedule. But the air is thin up here.
Don’t speak. Don’t run. Don’t look in the train. Just do your job. It’ll all be over soon.
FIGHT FOR EVERY BREATH
It isn’t impossible to breathe in the Border Post. Just impossible to catch your breath. Every exertion is another foot in the grave. Each blow of your whistle is a death sentence. Your only reprieve are air canisters rationed out for your good work. So you better be a good worker.
MAINTAIN
There’s no shortage of tasks to keep you busy during your shift. Deliver reports. Clean the water filter. Collect discarded wood. And don’t worry about that smell.
MEET MO
Mo is your friend and fellow Border Post worker. His shift is over, but he’ll happily come running if you call. He’ll answer any questions you might have. Well, except for that question. He wouldn’t lie to you. Don’t make him.
YOUR CHOICES, YOUR STORY
Your choices matter. Which choices? What country are you from? How could it matter? Experience a semi-linear narrative where every moment could be a new branching path. Or not. Such is life.
Breathe out.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the atmospheric world-building, visual and sound design, and the meaningful player choice that impacts the story in substantial ways, with some finding the relatively short playtime rewarding for multiple playthroughs. However, many criticize technical bugs that cause frustrating restarts, a thin or underwhelming narrative despite the choice mechanics, and limited replay value once outcomes are discovered. The game divides players between those captivated by its hypnotic, repetitive exploration and those disappointed by the lack of narrative depth.
Interesting, but not terribly fun and the story had more potential.
This is a very boring game. I am sure there was hard work put into it...graphics are old which I like but its way too slow and I cannot bother to finish to because I played 2 hours didnt know how to save and lost all my progress.
I loved the atmosphere, the mystery, the attention, the strange difficulty selection... didnt like that it was mostly a walking simulator (you're punished for going fast), which then turned into a way to make people realize how much cattle gets killed every day. The game is not scary, just a tad disturbing. While I'm not against the message is trying to portray, I feel like it has wasted potential because of also how underwhelming the endings are. Still, it was worth for a couple of bucks, buy it on sale if your still interested.
A nice bite-sized game (pun intended) I liked both the story and the graphics. Some of the achievements were a bit of a pain, but otherwise it’s a well-made game with a great atmosphere.
THRESHOLD hits the sweet spot if you're looking for lean, weird, PSX horror (like I am).
i like the graphics and the atmosphere. one achievement was a bit janky to unlock and only save system is the checkpoints. had no bugs while playing. solid 4,5/5
