Liminal Space

Mm... Played a few of these now. Specifically chose this one because it was on sale for around two bucks and because of the option to disable monsters and just explore, however that proved to be a bit lacking as the exploration is rather limited. There are many lighting bugs throughout the game and so far the worst was in the Airport stage, where I can earnestly and unironically say "the sun is leaking". Which I could excuse, if it wasn't apparent that this map in particular was a blatant asset flip with minimal alterations as all of the items and many of the "eastereggs" contain references to ancient memes or gun-game in-jokes. The lighting errors unfortunately are blinding and resemble the glow used for the collectible items, which makes it difficult to discern which is an error and which is an item you need. Also the "convention center" (which I keep wanting to refer to as a "hotel") has magazines strewn about that contain what seem to be sexual innuendo? Nothing too bad, just a bit jarring. There seems to be an issue with the code that positions the items around the map, where on occasion the items simply will not spawn in the playable area- which I found out in the aforementioned "convention center" when I couldn't find an object despite searching repeatedly- then discovered upon resetting that one item unlocks an additional area to explore. (which was largely empty and not very interactive, regardless.) Also, this is nitpicking, but the game continues to try and be as edgy as it can be regardless of the mode you play under, so if you were just 'leisurely' exploring, it'll still prattle on about "YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THEIR FACES IN YOUR NIGHTMARES" and crap. The music also isn't great; there's like 3 original tracks! Wow! They're very short and grating. Yeah, I don't recommend this one. Sorry.
