LIMINAL WATERS - ENHANCED EDITION

This is probably the best liminal space game I've played since pools. Respect to the person/people that has been updating the game a lot. This is a very unique experience and game. Check it out!

Duck lovers wet dream. Amazing liminal space adventure. Highly recommending!

Liminal Waters is a flawed game in my opinion, but also an absolutely beautiful and mesmerising liminal spaces walking sim, the atmsophere is absolutely stellar and the surprising focus on a more overt horror motif throughout worked really well for this game in ways that would usually bother me in a game like this, and that's probably because those spooks were used very sparingly and never detracted from the exploration aspect of the game. You know you're in for a good time when a game like this can creep you out just as much as it can be comfy. The music is also really good stuff that fits really well with the vibes and tone the developer is going for and the game's performance from my experience was rock solid with little to no issues to speak of (Especially surprising as it's a UE5 game), and just like the previous game I reviewed, it is perfect for rubber ducky enthusiasts. However I do have a couple of gripes with the game that only show up in later levels added after the game's release; namely the level design takes a massive nose dive. Where in earlier levels you had plenty to explore and see as you progress through each level, it is still designed in a way to keep you moving through the game at a reasonable pace. However in later levels there were numerous moments where there wasn't much to explore at all and you're left with nothing but running in a straight line for 5-10 minues, sure you have some gorgeous vistas but you're not exploring, which is what draws me to these games in the first place. If those long runs were massively cut down to a quarter of their length then I wouldn't feel as much fatigue as I did. Another gripe I had is the introduction of puzzles in one level, which I am often against in liminal space games as they almost always become a needless detriment without extremely well-thought out level design to facilitate those puzzles. However these puzzles were pretty simple and satisfying and they also fit in pretty well, but that aspect was instantly dropped soon after and left me wondering why these puzzles were even there in the first place. While I think the game has a strong start, especially those first 6 levels, and is visually stellar from start to finish, the later levels just feels like the developer has kinda lost the plot on what made that early game so special, memorable and a joy to explore, because the level design later on severely suffers because of that lack of focus. If those huge long runs were massively cut down or if those later levels end up getting full on reworks/overhauls, then I would definitely feel much more positive towards them, but as of the time of this review those later unfocused levels are the only thing holding Liminal Waters back. All that said, I can still strongly recommend Liminal Waters for people who enjoy these walking sims through surreal places like I do, the price is right and despite the issues I have with the later levels they are still a joy to exist in even if for a little while. Good stuff all around!

풀장에서 시작해 이런 곳 저런 곳까지 가는 심리적 호러 워킹 시뮬레이터. 리얼한 그래픽과 사운드로 현실감이 상당하기에, 리미널 스페이스 특유의 분위기를 즐기기엔 매우 좋네요. 볼륨도 꽤 됩니다. 도전과제는 여기저기 특정 구역을 방문해야 달성할 수 있는 것 같습니다. 레벨 선택은 있으나 맵들이 꽤 넓어서 노력이 필요할 듯. [code] 스팀 큐레이터 : [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/44849820/]INSTALLING NOTHING[/url] [/code]

Liminal Waters is another one of my favorite liminal space walking simulators- I would put it into the same category as POOLS. It is very immersive and the everything about the atmosphere - the sound effects, the lighting, the small details [such as the slippers that someone took off before they stepped into the shower or the wet footprints from someone stepping out of the pool etc. The feeling of a presence watching you, even when nothing is there, never leaves you.

At first I wasn't impressed. I was thought this was just another run of the mill liminal space poolrooms game with smiley balls and rubber ducks like dreamcore and liminalcore, but then things started to change. As I got deeper the game started doing more interesting things, things I'd never seen before. The atmosphere got better and better, the environments got more and more unique until I wasn't even sure if I was even playing the same game anymore. You never get too far from water but you sure do find yourself in a lot of places I have NEVER seen in a liminal space game. It even gets a bit sci-fi alien futurist. It's so weird but so fascinating. It was a joy wandering these spaces trying to figure out what was going on and why we're even there in the first place. I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did and I'm glad I kept an open mind. I'm shocked they're making another chapter honestly, but I look forward to it! If I had to make a complaint or two, I'd say that it isn't super well optimized in some areas and I feel like some of it's attempts to be scary feel forced and a little tryhardy but I enjoyed it overall anyways. Well done!

This game runs like *ss, theres no vsync option, so unless you cap your frames manually your GPU is gonna be screaming like it's mining bitcoin against its will, my fans sounded like a industrial fan in my bedroom, the settings menu is more barebones than a Reddit mods love life, so if something breaks you're just f**ked, enjoy :D But, this "game" is the definition of liminal space, It's mostly poolrooms, but whoever made this actually gives a f**k, you can tell the devs are autistic about liminal spaces in the good way, because the atmosphere is immaculate and this game its long. I went in expecting the common 2 hour walk around, ooh spooky weird sh*t, credits roll experience but this mf just kept going, tons of exploration (Not a complaint), Normie warning, if you need objectives, a monster chasing you, or any gameplay, this will bore you and you will refund it and cry on the Steam forums One other thing devs if you are reading this, I need VR support, I really want to fully immerse myself in these moist corridors, I tried the injector method but didnt work :( Dev pls, I want to feel the pool rooms Solid experience if you're into wandering abandoned liminal spaces, waisting your life, like me, buy it 8.5/10, The rubber duckies were silent witnesses to my descent into madness and ill f*kingd do it again

With the new updates this the best liminal space game I have played. Good job dev.
