►About the Game -
"Discover scenic Villa Ventana, the hillside community of empty stores and emptier people." Not the ideal backdrop for a bestselling novel, but as every writer knows, inspiration can strike in the unlikeliest of places. Within hours of Harvey Green's arrival, that inspiration takes the form of foreboding dreams, impossible coincidences, and hidden motives that set Harvey on the path to uncovering a chilling, fateful truth.
Slender Threads is a point-and-click thriller adventure. Guide Harvey through Villa Ventana as nefarious, unseen forces exert increasingly more sway over him and the town's residents.
* Encounter and interact with a vast assortment of eccentric characters with inscrutable intentions.
* Solve a sequence of challenging puzzles as you draw ever closer to the source of the town's dark influence.
* Bring to light the origins of the region's uncanny existence.

Whenever I hear the introduction, it has the same effect as curling up under a blanket with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter night.

[@MarqZePancakeNinja]

Yes! It's an almost unconscious cue to relax and let the events of the day fade away. 😌

[@holoa8988]

that's how I also feel when I watch Cju. His voice is relaxing and he is charismatic with a touch of diplomacy to it. Cju, if you see this, I've been seeking you in times of discomfort.. and you made me recalibrate myself after a few minutes. I love you, man. Keep on doing you ♥️

[@mastadonking3816]

I prefer hot apple cider, but yeah I agree.

[@bonbonafide2ko872]

Facts!!! That voice.....sips 🍵. Climbs in 🛌. Puts on 🎧. Watches CJU. 😃.......😴

I liked everything about this : the writing, the style, the voice acting... I'd definitely watch a full playthrough when it comes out :)

[@party4one]

Monkey Island meets thimbleweed park vibes.. really strong demo

[@batmanju_]

I just loved this demo. The dialogues are wonderful, the characters are great, the game looks really good. I liked it, I hope to see it around here when it launches!

[@Bulzairay]

A fellow Brazilian that watches CJU? Nice!

[@DrayvenWynd]

This looked fun, kinda like little misfortune as well, with the darkness and comedy. Hope you do the full game man :)

[@imhotalk]

Oh, I was wandering what it reminds me. Yes, has similar to Little Misfortune kind of vibe.

[@JonoLB]

CJU is so pro. Stellar voice and great content. Let’s go!

[@DustinBarlow8P]

CJU is more of the age 30+ horror fan, that doesn't have the time to play horror games themselves but still enjoy watching them be played. Not a lot of screaming or talking in stupid voices, like most other gaming channels.

[@peronell4888]

I had a lot of fun, it is comedic, it is unsettling, I like how it looks. It would be great if you would play the full game! Thank you for showing us!

[@bandgeekforlife406]

I love the artistic style of this game

[@hannahnielsen5165]

I'm only halfway done with this video but it's so delightful! I really hope you'll play the full version when it comes out!

[@Nyyxxy]

I loved this video and this game. The writing also, it’s so good and I like the witty responses. Honestly this is the best voice acting in any game I’ve ever seen lol. Definitely want to see you play the full game !

[@JoeGaudet]

That means so much to hear! We worked very hard on this.

[@liamquraeshi2898]

The Voice Acting is Superb!

[@warlock5309]

Wow, what a beautiful point and click adventure! Heck yeah, definitely want you playing the full version!

[@ericjohnson5531]

I was going to recommend you play Grim Fandango and then you took the words right out of my mouth!

[@adalwulf435]

Already has.

[@laurawaterfield838]

About to sit down in my recliner and watch me some good ole Cju. Got my popcorn and soda. I'm ready. ❤ it.

[@BABYLON_GANG]

Chris and the rhetorical questions… do we like this video? Do we want to see the full game?! Is the sky blue, Chris? OF COURSE!!!!!

[@MagashiSaizen]

Casually browsing CJU's channel to see if there's any new uploads (sad there wasn't) then I went back to the main page and surprise surprise a new upload 5 minutes ago. lol

[@k8h991]

SO glad you’re playing this. THANK YOU for clicking on basically everything. I attempted another channel’s (15 min) play of this and they barely clicked on anything or cut out all the parts of the video where they did.

[@skylx0812]

Reminds me of the summers spent reading my grandfather's Reader's Digest Condensed novels. They looked stuffy and old but the mysteries sure did grab you. Love the characters. ...play it again, Sam. 🔎

[@Scriptor13]

I'm _very_ late to the party. I agree with all the positive comments. I almost always love a game which is unique, and this one definitely qualifies. A big three thumbs up (I never implied I was "normal") for a playthrough of the full game. ツ

[@desaun]

Only about twelve minutes in but how I've been waiting for you to play more point and click games! My favorite thing from you. :) If there's a full game coming I'd love to see you play it.

[@kimchi98]

Just finished the prologue and I CAN’T wait to play the full game! Thank you for bringing this little gem to our attention! ^^

[@andreadiatene]

Nice puzzles, witty writing, great voice acting, cool design, what's not to love? Full game, please!

[@KOU-ZAI]

You know when a game is good, when you plan on watching just half of its prologue now and the other half for later.... but didn't realize that you've finished the entire video in 1 sitting and still wanted more. Hence, my answer is yes. Please do continue this one.

[@EmmaDeeb]

Not sure if there wasn't enough people wanting a full playthrough, or if maybe you forgot? In any case I'd love for you to play the full game, and I'm pretty sure from reading the comments I'm not the only one! I had actually completely forgot about this game after seeing you play the prologue when you uploaded it about 2 years ago, and just rewatched it. You seemed to enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed watching it, and I hope you'll consider playing the full game! Also this is my first comment on any of your videos, so uh, hi :3 Been following you for a couple of years now, and I just love your videos! 💕

[@AriadneJC]

Wow! The developers have definitely embraced the spirit of classic point-and-click adventures with the dialogue and some of the puzzles in this game. Would definitely like to see a full-game playthrough.

[@angelareynolds4373]

This demo is so charming!! I love the style of this game. The voice acting is really good. It seems well polished already. I'm sure this game is going to be wonderful. I definitely would love to see you play the full version. 😁👍

[@kathrynbythelake9638]

Next time I need to sell a house, I should hire the real estate agent from this game. The VA in this game is highly entertaining.

[@aelish5518]

Coffee and CJU starts my day...

[@caseymarie625]

I wasn’t ready for this to be over ! I can’t wait for the game to come out !

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

Oh I remember sharing the demo of this game on your discord months back.

[@rf-fj8uw]

There's a town here in Argentina called Villa Ventana, named after the neighbouring Cerro Ventana, which is a quite a famous hill with a natural opening at the top like the one in the map (ventana = window in spanish). Just googled the devs and it looks like they are argentinian as well. Cool game, love your playthroughs CJU.

[@AnnelieseC]

Not only do I want a full playthrough of this; I NEED one

[@doncampbell5976]

This game has charm.

[@AlexWalkerSmith]

What a great playthrough, thanks for sharing! I'm the audio producer for Slender Threads, and I'm happy that there's still more to this prologue than you showed, it gives people a reason to play the game themselves 😁 I loved the commentary you gave, you were playing and reacting exactly how I would've hoped. I hope you're looking forward to the full game; I know WE are 😉

[@blyts8936]

Alex, you guys did an amazing job!!

[@iwazhere21]

This looks like an absolute gem of a game! Please play this in its entirety. The voice acting is very well done, the story is interesting and it looks beautiful.

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

Yes, absolutely YES. This is such an intriguing story, and with great dialogue and voice actors! Please continue playing it!

[@bluewingedchaoscat]

Ooooh this brings me all the way back to the 90's. Yes please play the full game if you have the opportunity to do so! Looking forward to it.

[@MitchieDBBC]

Love the game so far, i imagine that the main character is going to cause a lot of inadvertent deaths. Specially after he left the open house

[@TrustTheDice]

A perfect video to start the weekends!

[@MyrdinAnnoth]

Chris: "Maybe I can scissor my way into the desk ?" My brain: "Did he just......Heh!~" Me: "Oh no you dont!" Once the full game comes out please do a full playthrough. Seems you have been enjoying yourself with the prologue and the writting is quite amusing indeed, so it would be fun watching this with your commentary in its entirety.

[@noellec27]

I really love this game! The characters remind me a little bit of the, "Hello Neighbor" game. Please play when the full version comes out!!!

[@kissofshadows21]

This storyline is interesting! I hope you continue the playthrough.

[@coreyferrero5773]

This is a major throwback, but the sass from the manager/the hotel setup/thematic music kind of reminds me of Day of the Tentacle. I would adore to see this game to its completion

[@michaelbrown211]

Good to see Ash from Evil Dead is alive and well.

[@AlexWalkerSmith]

I totally thought the Casino Cashier looked like Bruce Campbell!

[@lisarn6552]

This would be a great series!

[@ryn.999]

I would absolutely love to see more of this!! the art style is beautiful and the writing and voice acting is really good. This demo felt very flushed out and im looking forward to seeing you do a full play through of it. Loving your commentary per usual!

[@warlock5309]

Well well, another nightly upload! Thanks mate! Love your channel and content!!

all i can say is... i really wanna see the full version, everything else has already been said, this is so good, also each character is so full of charm and personality,

[@osogordo3]

[@latonyajackson6555]

Whether a good or bad game, CJ makes each hilarious. When he's taking the protagonist to task or running away from the monster, his insight is refreshing! Thanks CJU for being you and bringing laughter to a working stiff like me.

[@purefoysgirl]

Would absolutely love to see you play the full game! It looks amazing!

[@RedRosesDead07]

25:30 - This escalated quickly. CJU killing it, ha pun intended! What a unique gem of a game, I love the comedy/horror mix and the art style! I hope you play more!

[@scullyy]

Knowing Harvey's luck, the house with the realtor probably burned to the ground!

[@imhotalk]

I want to see the full game when it comes out! Dialogues were genius, love this kind of humour. Voice acting is great, and art style is unique. Wish the full game to be released soon!

[@Quinlana83]

That was really, really fun! Great humor. I would like to see more. Thank you for playing, CJU!

[@thisorthat7746]

this game was made by the same developers of the Murder Cleaner series! I really recommed everyone to play them, very creative premise with nice atmosphere

[@risibisi2379]

Wow! What an awesome game!!! 😃 I'm actually really sad the demo is over yet. I would love watching a full LP of this. ♥️👍🏼

[@DarkwaveMistress]

I really enjoyed this! Please do play more, the story is intriguing as much as fun.

[@nunpho]

Ooooh I really like this one. Love the style, voice actors and the writing. I like how the character travels with the mouse too.

[@bymasselyn]

Oh yes, play in full when it comes out. I played the prologue myself last year and LOVED it. I can’t wait for them to release the full game, but I also appreciate that they are taking their time - doing it right. The demo was flawless, and I anticipate the full game will be too. Loved your play through!!!

[@JennaBabe85]

Love these 2D point and click games.... gives me The Curse of Monkey Island vibes 😊👍

[@stevebrummett8539]

This is a must series. Everything about it screams CJU and the commentary is stellar as always. This could approach series of the year.

[@fizzysodapoppop]

the voice acting is quite good! they did a good job with this game

[@betholson5763]

Love the style of this game! It looks really cool

[@elizabethfoster4297]

This is really good! I love the humor in it. It reminds me of a game I played ages ago about a guy that gets mixed up with the Knights Templar, it was point and click like this.

[@JadeSantoro]

This game is so weirdly nostalgic? I’d love to see you do a full play through!

[@jojo_bear]

This was quite fun to watch. The dialogue and the interactions are enjoyable to go through and it definitely calls upon my want to just mess with people and see how many times I can get poor Harvey in a bind. XD

[@leviathan90]

When the writing and voice acting are both stellar, it typically means the direction and producing is undersung. Well done to all involved.

[@victoriapatnode5965]

This game looks fantastic, and so far the way the couple jump scares work and depth with characters already... I love it! Hope to see the full playthrough by you.

[@KeyframeHolder]

Will definitely love to see you playing the full version. Great demo and cliffhanger.

[@sammyjamesbagtas2888]

I like the voice acting and the potential of this game

[@karascene13]

This game is charming & I love it. Better yet, it has voice over, & Chris also narrating. It was 2 yrs ago- but I found it around Christmas time. What a treat! ❤

[@Arphila]

Amazing, it has such a great atmosphere to it and a certain charm. I hope you do a full play through when it comes out!

[@EglantineLansbury]

PLEASE play this as a series!! This has such a Monkey Island feeling to it with the wittiness!

[@TrustTheDice]

Wishlisted it right away after watching this. Thanks always for introducing great indie horror games 👍

[@ellyvatedaf]

This gives me grim fandango vibes. Love it !

[@gitszprycha8775]

31:05 - "what the F...Forso Moretti etc." xD nicely fused sentences :)

[@LKMEW]

Oh my golly gosh! The realtor is Stan from Monkey Island, he's even wearing his terrible jacket! I'll bet the closet-show will end up like the thing with the coffin-demonstration in Monkey Island 2 for Mister Moretti, hehe...

I’d absolutely watch more of this. I can’t wait to see a full let’s play.

I don’t know what I love more the mix of 2-d and 3-d art styles or the dialogue, fantastic game can’t wait for the full release

I've been busy these past few months, it's good to watch your videos again! I missed watching your videos and I'll sure to binge watch your videos that I missed.

[@DustinBarlow8P]

For a game with a whimsical art style, that was a really good jump scare with the rabbit!

[@Havenze]

What a great game ! Amazing that the prologue is already 1h long. Can't wait to see the rest of the game!

[@camillapetersen7720]

This seems like an interesting game, and I love the art style in the game. I hope to see more of this game on your channel.

Please, please do play the rest of this - it's gorgeous! And funny, and creepy.

[@Cerise4697]

Very late to the game, but 100% would love to see your full playthrough of it. This is extremely charming and polished, and I'm very attached to the characters already.

[@Nebulous_Neuhaus]

32:00 CJU was wondering what time period this was set in- since Hemingway died 1961, and Harvey mentions he's still alive, this game must be set in the 40's-50's, like L.A. Noire, though I could have sworn that that car that brought Harvey to the hotel looked a bit too contemporary for that...

[@joegaudet9848]

Thanks for sharing this! We are very proud of this game. I really enjoy playing Harvey.

[@annak8109]

I loved this game to the point where after watching it for 2 minutes I paused this video, installed the game, played it myself and came back here to enjoy your commentary! What I loved the most is the really funny dialogues you get when you make a wrong decision on purpose! For example: I gave the City Hall Clerk the realtor's badge without attaching Harvey's photo on it to see what happens and this is how the dialogue went: -Clerk: This doesn't look like you at all... -Harvey: Err, I had work done.. -Clerk: You had work done to look like THIS??? Lol! Loved it! Of course added it to my Wishlist immediately.

[@AlexWalkerSmith]

I'm glad you felt compelled to try stuff like that! I'm the audio producer for this game, and I'm happy to say this playthrough shows less than half of the dialogue in the prologue! He also solved the puzzle so quickly he didn't hear the later part of the puzzle music. There is replay value even in just the prologue 😁👌🏻

[@annak8109]

@@AlexWalkerSmith Exactly! That's why I spoke to the construction worker at the dead end like 12 times or something cuz every time he gave me a different reply! Plus he was getting annoyed cuz I kept bugging him to hear what he says next! So entertaining! You are brilliant at what you do. Counting the days for the full game!

[@AlexWalkerSmith]

@@annak8109 I love that construction worker character! The voice actor, G Chadwick Cook, improvised all those extra lines. I just asked him to make stuff up for if the player clicks on him again. 😆 Thanks so much, I'm glad you're liking the game!
