The Liminal Dimension

Alright. [i]The Liminal Dimension[/i] is done and dusted. This is loosely an anomaly driven liminal spaces game that also features a splash of psych horror. It's also a very quick game. I find it unlikely that most people would need more than 30ish minutes to play through it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3736611345 The core premise is that you exit an elevator and end up in what is basically an endless set of hallways and doors that change periodically. The game tells you the exit signs are the key, but I can't say that was always the case. Often, just going in the opposite direction seemed to unlock the next sequence. Very occasionally, the game will open up a room in the hallways with another loop that must be overcome. Honestly, it all felt pretty random to me. Just doing the opposite of what you have been doing seemed to be enough to unlock the next phase quite often. Here and there, you will find notes from what is either you in the past, or someone else who had previously been trapped here. Not really sure which. The notes do start to develop some lore centered around a vague experiment. Additionally, you will encounter a phantom presence periodically, who will act sinister and give you some lore snippets as well. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3736611402 That is pretty much the game. There is a foundation here for something that could blend liminal spaces with SCP, but it never becomes fully realized. And I would characterize the ending as anti-climactic. Taken as the first in a series of games, this could be an effective game for setting the table with the vagaries presented within, but I don't think that is the case here. Visually, it's pretty cool looking with some interesting changes to the set piece from time to time. And I think the audio is pretty effective in conveying a mood, so that's cool. Inexplicably, there is leaderboard for how long it takes to complete the game. That seems to lack any real purpose though other than as a simple curiosity. Beyond what I mentioned above, this game churns out achievements for no real reason. You get a cheevo dump when you hit a certain benchmark in the game. This is clearly done simply to add value for cheevo hunters and serves no real purpose beyond that. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3736611256 IDK. I'm a bit conflicted with this game. On one hand, it never really realizes any creative vision fully. On the other hand, it doesn't really do anything disagreeable or bad per se. It's really just one of the games of all time, I guess. It exists and that existence isn't offensive, but it's very easily skipped without losing out on anything. I will say the $3.99 price tag is laughable. We're talking at most, 30 minutes of gameplay with zero reason to play it twice. The historical low price for this is 67 cents. If you see it for that, I'd say give it a look as a quick time killer game. I wouldn't recommend spending more.

Boring, very padded out and uninspired thinly-veiled achievement printer.

Не знаю чи варто рекомендувати цю гру враховуючи НАСКІЛЬКИ ВОНА КОРОТКА(за хвилин 40 легко пройти) Задум - клас, візуально гарна, є озвучка українською мовою. Грається доволі легко, тобі треба знайти EXIT і все. Можливо я забагато очікувала після відомої гри SuperLiminal. Демо версія це практично 50% самої гри. В одному моменті просто наСрали ачівками і там вже майже кінець. Відчуття наче просто десь на 25-30% гри розробники такі ой в дупу, не хочемо робити продовження і викатили те що є. Сумно, адже в цілому то гра хороша.

sadece aynı yerde dönüyorsunuz baska bişey yok

its a 30 minute, repetitive game. Not really worth the dollar I spent when it was on sale. Its comparable to a gmod map.

the game was too much of just a walking simulator for me. i though there would be puzzles but not much of a puzzle if its the same solution each time. also the multi achievement thing was just obnoxious

This game is boring, the environment barely changes and it can really slog on in some areas. The story is just like not here with a lack of anything interesting to see. Only buy this if it's on sale and even then only if you really wanna try a game that should be free with how short it and uninspired it is.

It was a good hour of entertainment. I'm so angry that it's not longer. That means it was good

a weird little hidden gem, short and nice! outside of some screen tearing; the game runs pretty smoothly, and despite some questionable achievements: a nice liminal game

Really interesting concept. I would've liked for more content - it only took me 25 minutes. Still always good to see solo devs come out with original ideas.
