A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

This is the main release of the game. You can find the 'Special Edition' on the bottom of the page.

Ethereal Threads is a surreal, story-driven adult visual novel about memory, guilt, and the quiet lies we tell ourselves to survive.

You wake up in a hospital after a car accident, your past fractured and unreliable. Faces feel familiar without context, conversations echo with déjà vu, and your dreams refuse to stay dreams. As you return to your life, it becomes clear that something beneath the surface is pulling the strings - something deeply personal, and deeply unresolved.

The people you meet are more than they seem. Each connection reflects a different way of coping: escape, denial, indulgence, or fragile hope. As temptation, intimacy, and emotional distance intertwine, your choices begin to shape not just relationships - but the truths you’re willing to face, and the ones you keep running from.

Ethereal Threads is a slow-burn, episodic experience where choices matter long-term. What you pursue, what you avoid, and what you repeat will quietly define who you become.

Episode 3 is now ready to download. Episode 4 is currently in development.

I enjoyed it so far, but if I might make a suggestion... Add a hide text box function on android, it's hard to see the Easter eggs with the text box in the way.

I will look into it, thank you

downloading ep3 rn, is it only for android or is there an ios version aswell?

(+1)

Available on Android, Windows, Mac and Linux

Glad you didnt abandon the project. This update is awsome!

Can we see the Boss in action in episode4?

(+2)

I prefer not telling any spoilers haha. Glad you enjoyed it though, you won't be disappointed in EP4!

Good

I hope it stays story-driven and gets more adult content, otherwise its really interesting

I'll try my best, thank you so much.

When ch2 comes out?

Depending on rendering speed, I'd say around May. I  will post updates here and on Patreon too, be sure to follow for more content.

Can I expect animations too?

(+1)

Yepp, some of them are already in the render queue.

Thank you sm <3

Its off to a good start, followed

Thank you, cheers

What future tags are you planning? Harem? ntr/sharing? pregnancy? futa/trans? femdom?

(+1)(-2)

Difficult to say without telling too much spoilers, but you can expect a lot to come.

Is this a single LI path game or a harem game, it's probably in your best interest to be straight and upfront about the tags that will be in your game, no one likes an NTR surprise and will save you a headache.

Thanks for the heads-up. There are multiple LI-s involved, and not NTR.
