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.

Great set of mechanics

This is definitely a game in the spirit of Portal, but certainly not as big and polished. But it still offers a great number of different mechanics to solve puzzles which never stop being fun. There are some levels that seem a bit unfinished and unpolished (around 5:00AM if I remember correctly), where you mostly just walk through the level without solving any puzzles really, but the game gets even more fun and exciting after that. Highly recommended. PS: The game will barely run at lowest details on Intel HD 5500 integrated graphics. Playable but not thoroughly enjoyable.

A matter of Perspective

I was looking for non-euclidian games, because I love the mindbending qualities they have. While this isn't really as non-euclidian as I thought it might be, it was still a very good experience. It's less about moving portals, or winding your way around infinite hallways (well that happens on a couple of occasions), this game focused on perspective and how looking at a problem from multiple/different angles can reveal a solution you might not have considered .I won't give you any spoilers but this was a very fun outing. The whole 'dream theme' of the game made it more fun, and even a bit concerning at a few points. But this game really does have a great message for people struggling with problems. It's a bit short, I beat it in one sitting. Normally I'd consider beating a puzzle game in one sitting as a sign of an inferior game but this game is so well crafted that I can honestly say it's definitely more about quality vs quantity. This game doesn't have to be long to be an enjoyable experience.

Requires you to think outside the box

Superliminal makes you look on problems from a different perspective. It makes you think "outside of the box." It also teaches us that some things aren't always what they seem to be. Sometimes you just need to step back and take a look from a different angle, gain a different view of your problem. Sometimes the solution can be right in front of you, yet you don't see it, unless you look from a different perspective. The solution is always there, you just have to look at it from a different perspective, and you'll see it.

Lost pace searching for the puzzles

Starts well, but the game mechanics end up detracting from each other. Finding the puzzle that you're meant to solve is part of the puzzle, and in the later parts of the game it's often a large part of the puzzle. The rooms are decorated with objects that look like you could pick them up, most of them are just scenery, and the way to find out is to mouse-over them and see if the cursor changes. In the later parts of the game, I found myself walking around large areas full of scenery objects, mousing over everything while looking for the puzzle; it lost the pace and fun of the game.
