Superliminal

That was a truly unreal experience, I hope another game like this comes out, Love from Dev, And Peace Guys!

Absolutely brilliant. I think everyone should play through this game once. It's amazing

Played it when it was on Gamepass, it is totally worth playing the game, just don't pay full price, I am sorry to the developing team, but this game is not a game you go back to replay, it is a one time play type of game, as the charm of the game is the complete and utter surprise this game gives you, plus the finding the puzzles and figuring how to solve them is not too difficult.

So get it on sell, play it for the first time, and do not spoil it for others, and recommend it to others, I only bought this on Steam to support the developers and hope they could make more games like this in the future, not a sequel, but something along the same feel that deals with perspectives, and messing with your mind.

Uhh... whoever made this game is a psychopath. A brilliant, mental psychopath.

Such a good game. Life themes mixed with interesting puzzle mechanics? What else could you ask for? Short and sweet if you aren't trying to 100%

Good, fun mechanic, the story is bland, and the usage of perspective is taken pretty far all things considered. I've spent more money and time on crane games in an arcade, but this is good too.

it's beautiful
very fun and challenging puzzles,i like the story, i love the humor
the levels are really intuitively designed, almost reminding me of the way valve designs half life and portal levels
everything also looks very cool i love the chess theme present throughout the game and many levels have some really impressive effects used in very creative ways
the music is very good and fits the game perfectly
the easter eggs are really really cool i think everyone who plays this game should look for them
thought the game is somewhat easy to glitch if you're someone like me who likes messing around in these kinds of games
would 100% recommend it to anyone who likes 3d puzzle games like portal

this is my second time beating this game, first time was a few years ago when i got an xbox game pass free trial, still this was really fun to replay and i learned a low of new stuff

100/10 I do not exaggerate when I say that this is probably the best video game I have ever played, even just for the aesthetics. The Bill Evans-inspired soundtrack is also insanely good, and I would love to own a physical release. I understand if this sort of game is not your thing, but for me, there's nothing better. It's charming, funny, and has some good puzzles as well. I really hope Pillow Castle makes more games.

Superliminal is a good puzzle game about optical illusion puzzles. There are a several mechanics(which I wont spoil) that get introduced throughout the game, which keeps gameplay relatively fresh(even though the game has a somewhat slow start in my opinion). As for the puzzles themselves, I would rate it a 5.5/10. Most puzzles are pretty easy, because the mechanics allow you to do so much stuff. Therefore you don't get that much satisfaction from actually solving them. In exchange, each puzzle acts more sandbox that lets you play around with the crazy mechanics and enjoy the surreal visuals and illusions.

The story is meh, nothing special.

The music is nice, I really like the hip hop remix songs in the credits

The visual artstyle is quite distinctive, it works well. One thing that is regrettable with the graphics is that some textures in the game are too low res, and don't look great on modern HD monitors, and it's often hard to read text on blurry textures.

There is a section in the game that is "horror" called "Blackout." I usually hate this type of stuff but here it was tolerable, there are no jumpscares or loud noises. So if like me you are worried about that, don't be too scared I guess.

All in all I think it is worth it to play this game, especially if you would enjoy visual illusions.

Amazing puzzle game, feels a lot like portal style puzzles mixed with stanley parable/beginners guide

Incredible game that leaves a lasting impression. It's a uniquely fun experience with so many clever puzzles and mechanics. I also love that they embrace the player's desire to try and break the game, often hiding secrets for those who think outside the box. Can't recommend enough.

Superliminal is a breath of fresh air—smart, surreal, and totally unique. The puzzles mess with your brain in the best way, the music sets the perfect mood, and the voice acting is just on point. Not many games stick with me like this one did. If you love clever, mind-bending experiences, don’t sleep on it.

please recommend me games like this one :D

Me and my friend have broken this game multiple times and thats just as fun as playing normally

It is a very creative game when it comes to puzzles, and as far as I know, I think it pioneered some elements of "perspective-oriented" puzzling. The difficulty seems to be very well gauged, with the occasional humbling mindfuck that nonetheless makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

When it comes to humor, it sucks. It is downright cringe, and not a single time did I find myself chuckling. I see the obvious parallels with The Stanley Parable and Portal (to a degree), but those are masterclasses in writing. The story is okay, I guess, and to a point, it needs to be the way it is to bind every element of the gameplay together—but it really fails to deliver, especially toward the ending when it tries to be more "serious."

It’s very hard not to compare it to Viewfinder: good puzzles and looks, bad at everything else.

(Overall Rating 7/10)
Game's premise is absolutely creative and interesting. I did get tired halfway because the length of the story and puzzles felt dragged out. The ending however was very moving and satisfying to tie everything together. An enjoyable game to try out or watch a Let's Play of. The music was definitely a highlight too. Props to the game devs.

Outstanding game, I had great time playing the game. Puzzles are quite simple but very satisfying.

What a lot the negative reviews about the puzzle aspect about this fail to grasp, is this is not a puzzle game in the traditional sense and going into it with that expectation will of course lead to a letdown. This game isn't about pushing the human mind's capacity for problem solving cleverness to new levels. You're not going to be drip fed a steady stream of new game mechanics and increasingly complex puzzles that require you to use them all to advance forward. You're not gonna feel like a genius by the time you finish this game. In fact in some cases you might feel like a fool for struggling at certain points when the solution was painfully easy and thats really the point.
The game is more of a lighthearted philosophical journey on introspection as well as perception. The puzzle elements really are just there to drive home the point in hindsight (after all perspective is a core game mechanic after all). The game's purpose is really to get you thinking a bit more, about yourself, how you view and interact the world around you and maybe even to question yourself on what drives you forward when the path before you is not crystal clear.

So if you're down for so game that showcases the fun and wildness perspective has as well some chill vibes to go with some light narrative that will steadily get you thinking about yourself and maybe even will prove to be therapeutic for some people by the end, then this game will probably be a nice little treat. I say little because the game isn't very long.

I guess the last question will be, is it worth about 20 dollars? To that I'd be inclined to say no, not really. However due to its good polish and quality, I'd say 15 would be a reasonable price when paired with how short it is. So I wholeheartedly recommend this game, but on sale.

Game play is fun and unique, with a good story and message

A mind trip and a half, a delightfully fun puzzle game! It did make me motion sick, but it was still a great three hours.

Some sort of Museum Simulator 2.0 with similarities with games like Portal.
Great perspective puzzle game.

Game has a deeper message to its players than the depth of Kola Superdeep Borehole. 11/10

I remember watching a playthrough of this game a while back, and I thought to myself "Why not try it myself?" And oh boy was I in for a ride. Playing this game is SO different than just watching it be played. It messes with your head and makes you really think. The ending level is super satisfying as well. Love this game.

absolutely fucking amazing game.

unfortunately it keeps crashing my 13 year old thinkpad when i get to the part with the bouncy castle that you gotta move around, but thats just a skill issue on my part coz im not only using a 13 year old laptop, but also running this through electron which can cause issues completly out of the devs hands, itd feel unfair to take a star off for that. 10/10

just dont use hardware so outdated it cant run windows 11 ;3

It’s an amazing concept on the surface and extremely fun to play but the amount of thought put into the story and how it ropes you in is what makes this game truly amazing.

Finding interact-able objects is hard. Everything else is perfect and fun.

really fun gameplay and story

good game, interesting riddles, deep thoughts, big cock. recommend

WOW. The game is short but it is a really unique experience.
It is quite surreal but also so beautiful, mesmerizing and fun.
I can definitely recommend everyone to try out Superliminal, it may change your life.

i have 1 thing to say... this game BLEW ME AWAY. this is easily the number 1 puzzle game on steam and for me its not even close. it took me 8 hours to beat (more than the average first time play through). and it was a roller coaster. the way this game plays with your perception and the illusions and puzzles are the best example of well executed. the game has many amazing moments. would pay alot to get the first time play through feeling again. ive since beaten the game around 3 times. 2 of them being in under an hour. couldnt recommend it more. other than a few bugs its a top 10 steam game. have fun in your adventure if you buy this (:

Utterly mesmerising—like stepping into a beautifully strange dream, brimming with creativity. Not for those seeking relentless action, but perfect for those who enjoy deep thought and self-exploration. Every moment feels meticulously crafted to spark curiosity and wonder, pulling you deeper into its world. The atmosphere is rich and immersive, leaving a lingering sense of mystery long after you stop playing. It’s more than just a game—it’s an experience that invites reflection and interpretation. I absolutely love it—one of my all-time favourite gaming experiences.

Very original concept and game. We need more stuff like this out there. Good art inspires other good art and this game is a work of art.

This was a fun game, although I found it extremely easy. Your mileage may vary depending on how well you think abstractly.

Superliminal is a truly unique experience that plays with perception in ways I've never encountered before in a game. The innovative mechanics, where objects can change size and perspective based on how you view them, create a brilliant puzzle-solving environment that keeps you constantly engaged.

The artwork is visually stunning, blending surreal environments with a dreamlike quality that pulls you into its world. Each level feels thoughtfully crafted, presenting challenges that require both creativity and critical thinking to overcome. The way the game toys with your expectations is both clever and rewarding, making you feel accomplished when you finally figure out a puzzle.

Additionally, the narrative is intriguing, cleverly threading themes of perspective and self-reflection throughout the gameplay. The whimsical soundtrack perfectly complements the atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience.

Overall, Superliminal is not just a game but an exploration of perception that offers both fun and meaningful insights. It's definitely a must-play for anyone who enjoys innovative puzzles and a captivating story. Highly recommended!

The score alone is beautiful, and this is probably the closest equivalent to the portal series in terms of game play. There are also enough bonus features and achievements to make you want to revisit. I highly recommend you play this at least once.

My new favorite game. Reminiscent of Portal through the challenge progressions and narration with the exception of how much more human Superliminal feels from beginning to end. This game was an experience of experiences in fun, frustration, confusion, monotony, isolation, suspense, surprise, and warmth. Deeply touching and clever, I will be revisiting it often.

Liked the mechanics, It’s unique.
Although sounds and some dialogues reminded Portal a lot.

Generally not a fan of puzzle games. THIS was good though. Yet to 100% the game so I'm definitely still going to be playing this. If you're a puzzle fan this one is for you. Perception is reality, after all.

Very nice game. Not just because of the puzzles and all that but especially the message it is able to conceive an how this two factors are so well connected.

It's obvious where its inspirations lie: Portal, Stanley Parable, etc. It lives up to the heights of those games, but with a shorter length, albeit more dense - there's lots of secrets!

Fun puzzle game , finished it a couple hours without rushing through but didn't explore or experiment too much either . There is a lot of secret / collectible hunting I didn't do. Worth grabbing when it goes on sale.

If the release of Portal was revolutionary, this by far is one of the best puzzlers to exist.
I originally knew about this games development back during college when I saw Pillow Castle's tech demo on YouTube many years ago. I originally bought this on Epic Games since its initial release was first on there (back when Epic had a lot of early releases), and decided to buy it again to replay. Short but sweet, worth every penny.

Superliminal was interesting all the way through and visually appealing, especially with all the mind-bending changes in perspective throughout the game. The puzzles were mostly simple but a few were challenging for me. For the most part, the game was walking, listening, and looking at all the illusions. Had some fun with the new added modes and the ability to play other people's dreams is cool. The story was worth playing but the ending was the most impactful part of it all. It has a lot similarities to the Portal games, especially with the whole "corporate-type puzzle game goes downhill" gameplay that both games have. Solid puzzle game but doesn't hit as hard as games like Portal 1 and 2. 7.5/10.

Amazing puzzle game. I had strong vibes of Portal and maybe a bit of The Witness.

Fun little game and not very difficult for the most part but kinda short . Not a bad value if you get on sale but wouldn't recommend for full price.

This game was very fun and solving all the puzzle is very simulating! Seriously a very good game. 100% recommend!

A good way to describe this game is if a physicist, a psychiatrist, and a oneirologist (dream doctor) got really high together

One of the best puzzle games I've played in years. I first tried this game with a friend from Xbox Game Pass and it checked off everything I wanted it to for my brain. Smooth difficulty curve, lovely classical music and soundtrack, decently engaging story, and plenty of achievements and collectibles. Good luck finding everything for 100%.(you'll need it)

I was extremely excited to play this game. Ultimately I'm very glad I played it but I can't help but feel disappointed a little. This feels like a mix between Portal and the Stanley Parable, both games which I love and probably anyone else who is playing this does.
First of all I think it did a superb job at capturing the actual liminal space and feelings associated with it. I really enjoyed the art direction in that sense. I also feel like it captured the feeling of being trapped within a dream you can't escape multiple times.
However in regards to the puzzles themselves, I feel like much of the art direction was set dressing. It made it sort of into a, look around rapidly to see which object you can pick up, and in the beginning half of the game almost all of the puzzles are some variant of just, make this bigger so you can reach a ledge/the exit. Some of the puzzles were also a little bit frustrating, because they just weren't intuitively designed- e.g the hallway with exit sign, the dark room you have to go left or right. I feel like it didn't really prime you to think of these sorts of solutions, the way that Portal would have. I feel bad saying this but throughout, I wished that they had given this game to the Portal creators who I feel would have done a splendid job on this. :( But I'm glad they tried. The last portion of the game feels also less like a puzzle game, but I quite enjoyed it. It just wasn't so cohesive as a whole.
I think story wise it felt, again, Portal derivative, and landed a little bit flat. I think if they managed to integrate a really solid narrative this game could have become a lot stronger.
I think I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, unless you really like these sorts of surreal, dreamlike environments to begin with. It's a shame because the concept is soooooo good, unique and interesting. Someone needs to take this further. But I will recommend it to those who love this sort of atmosphere, like me.

I absolutely love this game,it's basically a psychological version of Portal and Portal 2

Wonderful experience. I put this one off for far too long. As a struggling artist, I hear the message at the end, loud and clear. Thank you.
