Superliminal meaning9/14/2023 Honestly, there isn’t much of a reason to play this game outside of the one playthrough. They don’t tell you what you need to do, it’s on you. But to exit rooms you’ll find you may need to make stairs, turn wallpaper into a staircase maybe, make a slice of cheese a walkway, drop a letter block onto a platform in a different room, etc. I won’t go too much into the other puzzles. Traversing from room to room can also sometimes be a challenge in and of itself. The game’s escape room style puzzles are incredibly fun and challenging. That square drops onto the ground, becoming a full-on cube. The best example I have of that is the picture that is featured just below where you stand at just the right place and angle the camera at just the right position to align the checkered wallpaper into a square. Never assume anything! There are times in which items appear out of nothing. But other times you’re in an empty room and the door itself becomes an item or maybe the exit sign. Without giving too much away, you have the items given to you sometimes. This title has a good use if environmental items. I watched a walkthrough from PC on YouTube, it was beautiful and smooth. You’d think there’d be an effort to make this version equal to the PC version. The ghosting is happening on my XBOX One X on my 4K screen, so you’d think that the issue would be non-existant. There is mass amounts of smudgy screen tearing happening. But for the visuals, it was a travesty if you’re moving fast down hallways and such. I’ll talk about the game issues a bit further on. There are some glitches though with the game and visuals. The game looks perfectly fine when you’re standing still or manipulating an item right in front of you. In terms of the visuals, this was probably the saddest part. Sure, she may seem to be commenting on what you’re doing, but it doesn’t feel exactly as well rounded of a character. In this game, the voice seems to be a set of pre-recorded messages you come across. However, Superliminal’s female robotic voice doesn’t seem to have quite as much personality and one-liners. There was another narrating voice that sounds an awful lot like GLaDOS from Portal. I usually ignored whatever was being said in the game, but the voiceover actor did a great job, no complaints. He’s generally speaking about dreams and the dreamstate. Many kudos to Matt for creating a sound that matches a visual.Īs you’re playing in the game, there is a doctor’s voice that you will hear sometimes. On the other hand, it’s there enough so the game doesn’t feel empty and pitch silent. The music is not too abrasive and is way chill for letting your mind just think about the level. If you simply pause the game or sit on the title screen and turn your sound up, it’s like a free waiting room radio station for your house. The unique soundtrack is a mixture of lounge and classical compositions by Matt Christensen. I would go so far to say that it’s one of its most redeeming attributes. Superliminal did not disappoint in this department. I would say that as always, I look to the soundtrack of a game to set the mood. By using the ambiguity of depth, this first-person puzzle game allows players to explore a surreal world by manipulating objects in physical space according to their perspective. ‘SUPERLIMINAL is a game inspired by forced perspective. Who cares about how long I’ve been craving the release of Superliminal ( $19.99, Pillow Castle) it’s here now and I can finally talk about it! Alright, no more pleasantries, let’s get into the mind-skewing world of Superliminal. It’s finally arrived! The game I’ve been looking forward to for like a YEAR now, maybe more.
