LIMINAL WATERS - ENHANCED EDITION

I love liminal space horror and the Backrooms/Poolrooms, I've played a few of these atmospheric liminal games before, my favorites being Pools and Liminalcore. I saw Liminal Waters and thought it was right up my alley, plus it was super cheap so I had to give it a try. So far I really like it, the visuals are stunning, the environments are trippy and well-designed, and I love how each room has its own unique aesthetic, like the vaporwave room. It's got 11 levels, and the levels are pretty expansive so it takes a good amount of time to explore through them, I like going down the different paths and trying to find all the secret rooms, especially because you can get achievements for them. One thing I will say though, this game is scary, it's definitely the most "active" liminal game I've played in terms of the paranormal activity. There are no entities sure but this place is definitely haunted, there's weird noises all the time, including screams and whispers, sometimes lights shut on and off or things move, sometimes you hear random banging sounds, other areas are either bright red or covered in blood, and overall it creates a very menacing atmosphere, which is great but definitely spooky, not quite relaxing or cozy like the tags say lol. It's got some issues though, mostly performance issues related to lag and general slowness, sometimes the audio cuts in and out, and the biggest flaw is that there's no save feature or checkpoints. I don't understand why, every other liminal game I've played had a save feature, but this one doesn't, which is frustrating when your game freezes or crashes, or you just want to take a break and pick up where you left off without having to play the entire level all over again. I do like how you can access all the maps from the title screen, but being able to save your progress while in a level would have been nice, especially since some of these levels are pretty long. Overall, while I really like this game, it's not perfect, making the game more optimized and allowing the player to save their progress would have improved my opinion a lot.

One of the most common complaints about liminal style exploration games is that they can get a bit boring and samey after a while, but that isn't true for Liminal Waters. A lot of thought has been put in by the developer to give each stage and room a distinct visual style, meaning it remains interesting to explore throughout the game's runtime. Visually the game looks really good, and a lot of effort has been put in to make each environment pop visually, including some really interesting lighting choices. Performance is also decent. On my hardware at 1440P native, the lowest I saw was 53 FPS (and even at that framerate the game didn't stutter and frametimes remained excellent) and for most of the game's runtime it stays in the 80-100 range. The game is fairly light on the CPU so you can play it on a much weaker CPU than mine. Sound design is also great. There is a great mixture of creepy, eerie and atmospheric sound and the music used is subtle and blends into the levels well. The developer is also really receptive to player feedback and implements fixes and improvements quite quickly. If you're a fan of this style of game, Liminal Waters is well worth a play.

A severe lack of Flamingo floaties ):

又夯又拉说是，美工氛围BGM给到夯，存档机制、指路标注、光污染给到拉完了，谁懂黑乎乎的地方影影绰绰结果手电筒一照发现又是个鸭子玩具的救赎感，手电筒给到人上人，NPC木头人太渗人手电筒都救不了给到NPC，本游戏中怪物和滚木合并同类项，总体来说，小众向核艺术氛围感步行模拟器，属于小范围享受的顶级艺术展，如果你喜欢核艺术和阈限空间艺术值得把玩把玩。如果你想玩逃离后室那就是拉完了，如果你想体验的是类似后室复体远征只能说NPC缺少那种录像带纪实片的质感。

Liminal waters est intéressent il est un peu dans la lignée de LiminalCore je trouve tout en allant encore plus loin que ce dernier. Cela commence classiquement dans Poolrooms et.. on voyage (je ne spoil pas) Personnellement j'ai apprécié presque tous les niveaux sauf celui dans le sable et une partie de celui ailleurs avec du sable aussi (je reste vague pour pas spoiler) que je trouvais vraiment long en distance de marche pour pas grand chose. Mais globalement pour 3€50 il y a rien a redire pour qui aime les walking sim et les lieu intriguant à visiter ça reste une bonne expérience.

确实是好游戏，我习惯的地板烫脚跑法能在这里发挥大用，氛围感很好。适合喜欢看核类风景但不喜欢突脸的玩家。

面白いけどアクションが少し難しいのとセーブやチャプターセレクトがないので注意

I don't know why this game has negative reviews. Honestly.
