These particularities and many others form the authentic central axis of Superliminal through numerous rooms in which the right key is found in a more or less clever way.įor practical purposes, in the blink of an eye we will be tearing off a small “Exit” sign from the wall to turn it into a colossal ramp on which to climb after messing around with the perspective and position of the object on stage. And all this involves interacting with the perspective of the elements on the screen, which will force us to find the appropriate angles for a three-dimensional object to emerge from a flat drawing or for another object to grow in size depending on its perspective with respect to us. In short, everything in Superliminal is real and that is why we will quickly begin to play with this distorted reality but to which we will quickly find a meaning. ![]() Superliminal puts us in the shoes of an individual who wakes up again and again in a room of what seems to be a help center after hearing the irritating sound of a digital alarm clock, one of those junkies that you would throw out the window a more than likely reaction that, precisely, has a lot to do with the video game in question.įrom the first moment it is made clear to us that the different perceptions of what we see on the screen represent reality, however far they may be from any sense and logic.

Superliminal, without revealing anything really significant about its plot, it can be taken as a kind of interactive psychoanalysis in which the player, in the first person, experiences a series of sensations and inquiries through dreamlike scenarios in which to play with perspective. Nothing is what it seems … or maybe it is? ![]() Let’s see what this curious mix of Portal, walking simulator and other experimental titles can offer us, such as the notable The Stanley Parable Below we analyze Superliminal on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
