Liminal Shroud

Incredible attention to detail, and refreshingly unique areas to explore. Beautiful visuals. Best in its class. Liminal Shroud is more than a typical walking sim. It has enough interaction to keep you engaged, and it is densely packed with details at just the right amount, that it doesn't feel 'crammed', but also holds on to the liminal space vibe. It has some spook factor, without being overly horrifying. A few levels did push my not-quite-new GPU in to single fps but it wasn't overly detracting from the experience. I never once wanted to 'run' through an area. A short experience, but that is not unexpected. If you are a fan of liminal space and walking sim games, this is a must buy.

потраченного времени жаль, зачем в каждый угол пихать скримеры в игру про лиминальные пространства, она должна пугать атмосферой, а не чёрным дядей виталей, сама игра сделана неплохо, но идеи локаций просто ужас, нет абсолютно ничего цепляющего, ну, лично для меня, я думал, что усну пока пройду её, кстати насчёт пройду, потребовалось меньше двух часов на игру которая стоит 300 гривен, я как любитель лиминальных пространств и подобных эстетик остался разочарован, если хотите, чтобы вам насрали в рот, то смело покупайте игру, а я пойду как раз его прополаскивать

Fantastic ambience, soundtrack, and level designs. Definitely on the scarier side of liminal walking sims - primarily for well-placed sound effects - but there are no cheap shots pulled here. It also looks fantastic and runs smooth, which, despite my hardware, is not a given for this style of game (and believe me, I've played a LOT of these). Settings menu is appropriately fleshed out with lots of graphics and controls settings, and devs are actively monitoring for bugs via Discord which is great to see. Bravo!

Yep, nice one!

Amazing liminal game and worth trying if you love liminal games. The exploration, art design, and liminal spaces are very unique and absolutely beautiful to look like, but the general atmosphere is a but unsettling and can be spooky, so be prepared for that.

Felt more like a linear, cozy, and nice-looking haunted house attraction than a liminal space exploration game, but I still enjoyed it (because it's cozy and nice-looking). Pros: -You can sit -Plenty of cool spaces -The oasis/fake forest area in the last chapter is excellent. My favorite room in the game. I would like to live there. Cardboard city is also nice -Foam pits Cons: -Very linear. Can't get lost at all. Very few branching/interconnected paths. IMO you can't get much of a liminal vibe when you know you're just going from point A to point B. -Haunted house sfx and ghost apparitions mostly feel goofy. But I suppose it works well when it's something more whimsical, like a cat ghost -Not much verticality (i.e., being able to walk across multiple floors) -The entire supermarket level (well I actually only enjoyed the tiny empty room after the cart thing). I would rather simply walk around more weird supermarket rooms at my own pace than push carts around and open fridge doors a bunch of times. -The gameplay is just "find N keys" type of stuff. I'd prefer having no objectives at all. I mean, POOLS did really well, and it's a pure walking sim with no objectives. Misc: -Near-constant non-diegetic horror ambience music is unusual for these kinds of games, and I'm not a big fan. Thankfully there are audio sliders. I prefer just ambient noises, or music that plays within the world itself (i.e. from a literal speaker inside the world). -No crouch. I often crouch in these games. Makes the world look larger. Also would be cool to have some tunnels to crawl through -The hand icon kinda ruins my vibe a bit when I sit down somewhere. Pretty sure most people would intuitively move the left stick/WASD to get up, instead of click LMB. -Darkest color on screen is some kind of mildly dark green. I know it's an artistic choice, but it would be cool to see full black (i have an OLED screen) If there's a sequel, I would be happy if the entire game was just a huge multi-floor expansion to the last oasis/forest room. Need more of that.

spent the first half hour playing on the swings, 10/10

Truly creative exploration game. It would easily qualify as many things, a haunted game, a liminal space game, and in some ways even a creative backrooms type game! A lot of fun to play, with an impressive number of levels and scenarios. I give the Devs credit, they also keep adding to the game significantly long after the official release.
