Dec. 2024

Absolutely beautiful and well crafted game. It's short, but well worth $20 for the experience. I really want to see a VR equivalent to this now.

Nov. 2024

This is, without a doubt, one of the best games I've ever played. The puzzles were mind binding but not annoyingly hard, the music is incredible, the level design is divine, these devs are freakin geniuses. The whole end sequence had me so zoned in and in awe that I had to just sit back and appreciate life and this game. If you like puzzle games, get this. If you like games with a message, get this. If you love being alive, get this. Get this. 10/10

Just fantastic. As mind blowing as portal was when I first played that. I would love to play more games like this. Completely engaging, challenging puzzles, great design. And unexpectedly also a very important game with a very important story and meaning. I just wish it was longer. But hopefully the team will make more of this kind of game.

The game challenges you to think outside the box and explore the surreal environments that you find yourself in. The gameplay is simple and still unlike anything you will have seen before. The way you perceive objects and items in this game, especially when interacted with, will change the way each level is played. Extremely unique experiences lead to the gameplay being extremely versatile and a lot of fun! The story is about a lucid dreaming experiment gone wrong. You are a participant who gets trapped in a series of dreams that become increasingly bizarre and unstable. You have to follow the voice of Dr. Glenn Pierce, the creator of the experiment, who tries to guide you to wake up. Along the way, you encounter various messages and signs that hint at a deeper meaning behind your experience. The music is atmospheric and relaxing, creating a contrast with the sometimes unsettling and confusing nature of the puzzles. The soundtrack features ambient sounds and soft piano melodies that enhance the mood of each level. The music also adapts to your actions and changes depending on what you do. Overall, Superliminal is a unique and innovative game that offers a fresh perspective on puzzle-solving. It is a short but memorable experience that will make you question your own perception and reality.
