Description

Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game based on forced perspective and optical illusions. Puzzles in this game give you a sense of the unexpected. Players need to change their perspective and think outside the box to wake up from the dream.

WAKE UP

As you fall asleep with the TV on at 3AM, you remember catching a glimpse of the commercial for Dr. Pierce’s Somnasculpt dream therapy program. By the time you open your eyes, you’re already dreaming - beginning the first stages of this experimental program.


PERCEPTION IS REALITY

Explore a dream world where everything is exactly as it seems. Tread carefully as the world slowly unravels around you and subverts your expectations. What you see isn’t always precisely what you get.

MAN VS MACHINE

In this fully-voiced adventure, Dr Glenn Pierce is doing his questionable best to guide you home and out of the dreamscape. His artificial intelligence assistant, however, is having trouble understanding exactly how you’re here at all, and has other plans for you.


DEVELOPER COMMENTARY

We’ve added an extensive developer commentary throughout the game, so you can learn the secrets and history behind the game’s development.


CHALLENGE MODE

The overwhelming response from the speedrunning community to Superliminal inspired us to add a new Challenge Mode, which will score you per-level on metrics such as time to finish, grabs, and jumps.

Good while it lasts but incredibly short

I really enjoyed how the game toyed with idea of using the change of perspective that lead to some often quite delightfully surprising solutions. The puzzles are good, while the story bits are pretty inconsequential. On the downside, Superliminal is incredibly short. It took me just a bit over 2 hours to beat the regular campaign, including some time spent on head-scratchers. There is also the challenge campaign which is the same as the regular but with a limit to allowed moves/actions. I tried it for a bit, but I found it to be more frustrating than fun.

Not my type of game at all

I played this for a short time as I really did not enjoy it. The game was faultless and ran smoothly but I just couldn’t get behind the concept. Each puzzle seemed to rely on the idea that you could alter an object’s size by lifting it up and dropping it – why? Then you had to decide what to do with it. I know you are meant to be dreaming but it expects you to do physically impossible things, like actually reaching an object that is obviously out of reach. Hardly any indication of where you should be going and I am afraid I rapidly got bored and totally lost any desire to play after about one hour. From the rave reviews I am obviously in the minority and it is certainly a unique type of game but sadly not for me.

What a trip!

This is one of those games that will give you your time's worth in enjoyment and then some. The puzzles are fun. The solutions are wacky and satisfying. Now, you might struggle a little if you're not good at thinking outside the box, but give it a try anyway - that just means you have room to expand your thinking. Just remember that things aren't always the way you see them at first. The story is not complex, but it is presented very well. The ending is satisfying and uplifting, and it doesn't try to shove an ideological message up your nose like so much of today's entertainment media. On the technical side, the game seemed to work pretty well. I did notice one instance where I was able to get a puzzle into a bad state where it couldn't be solved. Granted, it was a pretty stupid mistake in hindsight. Without spoiling anything, remember the following: "If you lose the bouncy castle, restart from the last checkpoint." Other than that, the experience was flawless. By the way, thank you for selling the game half-off. As wonderful and creative as this game is, not every gamer can justify spending $20 for 2-3 hours of gameplay.

good puzzle game.

Overall pretty excellent. Puzzles are well done and used to good effect for the story. It's on the short end, around 2-3 hours. If the trailer looked interesting, you should give it a try.
