For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Liminal Shift offers a plenty of original Backrooms levels to explore, each interpreted through art to evoke a unique sense of tension, realism, and the feeling of being lost in liminal spaces.

Note: Liminal Shift features unsettling enclosed spaces and themes of getting lost in liminal environments, which may cause distress for players with claustrophobia or a fear of disorientation.

To be honest I found this very fun! This is the first Backrooms game I've played myself (Although I have watched several LPs of others). I can see how some might think the walking speed is too slow, but personally, I didn't mind, it really gave me time to take in the level design, which is amazing, by the way! I was so stoked that the majority focuses around the Poolrooms (my favorite)! I was a bit surprised that I didn't have trouble navigating and only got turned around a few times here and there, which I thought was funny since I'm often directionally challenged and can never remember where things are. Finished it in a little under 7 hours, but I'm sure I'll be playing more to look at all the rooms and paths I didn't go to the first time. My ONLY complaint really is that it was lagging something terrible on my computer when I was playing and recording it yesterday, even after turning down the graphics, special visual effects, and seeing what I could change on my laptop to help it. That being said, I decided to redo my recordings since it was less laggy today for some reason? It still definitely lags in places, but not as much as it was. (hey so quick update: I didn't realize my computer only meets minimum requirements for this game. Oops.) Anyway, I thought this was a great Backrooms game. Wonderful level design, some unsettling sounds, and also at least one hidden area I found which was very neat! OH. Quick add-on, I would love this game to have a gamma slider because in the last chapter I couldn't even tell there was a flashlight, my screen was so dark.

it's just more pools. why is it always pool rooms? Something like this needs an always run option. Needs less pools, and get rid of the entity in the pink rooms. these things are always ruined by a spooky monster out to eat out your butthole! Also why the hell was there an actual Cloud Flower from Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the game? You can't do that

cool game
bueno
Настоятельно рекомендую эту игру тем, кто хочет накачать мизинец левой руки, так как всю игру приходится держать shift, чтобы не плестись как черепаха (Видимо в этом и заключается суть названия игры)
As bad as Dreamcore.
Recomendadisimo!!! Brutal. Genial. Muy muy bueno
Liminal Shift makes me so damn nervous, which is how I know it's good horror. There may not be any monsters to jump out and scare you, but the process of entering a dead end and then turning around to leave only to find the door has vanished.... Is a new kind of freaky that I deeply enjoy. It may not be verified on steam deck but it plays just fine, I think. Check this one out if you want to wander around and get lost.
这游戏只能说还行,就是太黑 池核之后体验感一般
