The Thread Between

Travel through the ages of textiles, from the ancient craftsmanship of Greece to the Middle Ages and into the modern world. Solve puzzles, explore, and piece together fragments of a story that seems to have been forgotten.

At your side will be the Curatore, who will guide you in search of the fragments of The Weaver, the mysterious mother textile from which everything seems to have originated.

But every era leaves a trace. And perhaps, by observing the way we have produced and consumed textiles throughout history, it will be possible to understand why The Weaver came undone.

A small journey through history, textiles, memory, and sustainability, with a look at the issue of fast fashion and the increasingly complex relationship between what we produce, what we consume, and what we leave behind.

PROTOTYPE

The Thread Between is a prototype created during the 7 days IGameJam, developed around the theme and context of the Textile Museum of Prato.

The project was created as a short experimental experience combining puzzles and narrative elements to explore, through  the videogame, some of the stories hidden within textiles.

At the moment, the game does not have a true ending due to time constraints: the prototype ends before the conclusion of the story. We apologize for this, and should we have the opportunity to continue developing the project, we will add the ending and improve the graphic to complete the journey of The Thread Between.
