Liminal Shroud

**Absolutely amazing liminal horror experience!** Liminal Shroud was honestly amazing from start to finish. The ambiance was perfectly eerie and did such a great job of creating that unsettling feeling without needing to constantly rely on cheap jumpscares. There were so many moments where I just felt uncomfortable and on edge simply because of the atmosphere. The environment designs were absolutely beautiful. Every area felt unique, detailed, and strangely mesmerizing while still maintaining that creepy liminal feeling. I constantly found myself stopping just to look around and take everything in. Overall, this has easily become one of my favorite liminal games to be released. If you love eerie environments, beautiful level design, and that unsettling feeling of wandering through places that feel familiar but completely wrong, I highly recommend checking out Liminal Shroud!

I had a lot of fun exploring these gorgeous environments and soaking in the unsettling atmosphere. This is Liminal Shroud's greatest strength and the main reason to pick it up. If you like liminal space exploration games, the spaces here should not disappoint! Aesthetically, the game sets itself apart from the rest by having some truly unique locations, all of which scratched a very specific itch for me. My favorite chapter may have to be the one with all the cardboard. It was nice seeing one of these types of games taking inspiration from a wider scope of liminal spaces and not just the usual backrooms and poolrooms we expect to see. The description promises "just atmosphere, discovery, and quiet dread", which is not fully accurate. I wouldn't exactly call this a quiet game. This is more on the psychological horror haunted house side of things, with plenty of spooky sounds, scares, and all that. To be honest, it was more than I expected going into it. The frequency of these I think detract a bit from the game's impeccable atmosphere, which would've been enough to carry the experience on its own in my opinion. I wasn't too bothered by this approach, but I would be more than happy just wandering and getting lost in these levels without the constant distractions. It could probably benefit from giving the player some more room to breath, take things in, and let the environments speak for themselves. One other small criticism I have is that some of the sounds were way too loud. Sometimes they have this microphone peaking effect on them that was a bit headache inducing. Aside from these little things, I had a great time with it! To the dev, I hope to see more from you in the future. You clearly have a knack for creating some genuinely stunning and captivating environments, and I look forward to losing myself in them again someday.
