Superliminal (2019)

A mixed bag.

Some of the puzzles were very creative and made me have an “oh, that’s really cool” moment

Others were just a lot of trial and error, or got me stuck because I didn’t know what was able to be interacted with.

The plot just did nothing for me, and stuff like Portal and The Stanley Parable did a lot for me with this kind of narrative

Good, but not full price good. Get it on sale

This was a nice little find - and as another reviewer said, it really "scratched my Portal itch," because you can easily tell that this is along the same lines. It's more of a low-rent Portal as the voice acting tries to be sarcastic, etc. And instead of portals, it's a lot of forced perspective.

The game gets a little freaky/psychedelic near the end, but the earlier puzzles were entertaining and some were downright challenging (I solved a few by accident). I even had to sleep on a couple of them and think about how to solve them. In addition, the music was very soothing and a nice soundtrack for the game.

I did like the end commentary and it did make me think about how perspective changes everything. That little life lesson was a nice way to end a short, but entertaining game.

Been wanting to play this game for a while, it's a puzzle game with a cool forced perception mechanic, it's a bit of a mind trip but fun.

There's not much to say since it's a short game. About an hour depending on how fast you solve the puzzles. There's dialogue throughout the game somewhat like portal, with a hopeful message mixed in, they try to make it quirky like portal but half the time I wasn't paying attention and mostly looking for the solution to the next puzzle.

The ganes constantly subverting your expectations and having you think outside the box to solve it's puzzles. Most are pretty easy, others just require you to look and walk around until you find the answer, there really only was one puzzle that completely stumped me for a while.

Overall great short game, like Stanley parable mixed with portal. In my opinion its to short and quick to say anything of substance to stick or get a story across but It'll definitely mess with your eyes and surprise you along the way. Definitely recommend going in as blind to the games details as possible.

The love child of The Stanley Parable and Portal. A couple of puzzles had us stumped, but in general, our progress felt like we were constantly discovering new things and "accidentally" going into places we didn't belong (intentional on the GD's point, I'm sure). A great little game!

At the normal full price of $20, it's a little expensive. I think $10-15 is a more reasonable price of admission. However even having paid full, I regret nothing!

This game looks brilliant! I hope it comes to Steam eventually. This is one of the few times I've been tempted to betray Gaben and install the corrupted Epic Fortnite Scam Software on my system. Ashen and Manifold Garden being the two other examples.

It has some Portal vibes, but also some flavours from Crows Crows Crows or Stanley Parable.
