![]() A lot of the mechanics involve manipulating the environment to create a path to the next area. While the ability to increase and decrease the size of objects is the main gameplay mechanic, there are a few other mechanics that utilize the concept of perception is reality. ![]() Small objects can fit through small areas, and large objects can be used as platforms to reach new areas of a level. ![]() This ability of making objects smaller and larger is used to solve a lot of the puzzles. This ability allows you to drop items from a high distance and they will grow in size as they approach you. When you get farther away from the object it literally gets smaller. When you bring an object closer to you and it appears to be getting bigger it actually is getting bigger. The main way this concept is utilized in Superliminal is the ability to manipulate the size of objects. Basically the gameplay revolves around your perception becoming reality. Superliminal is a game about optical illusions and forced perspective. The thing that initially stood out to me in the trailer for Superliminal was the gameplay. Will you be able to find a way out or will you forever be stuck in an endless dream state? Things quickly go wrong though as you go off the beaten path and start to fall deeper and deeper into your dreams. As you exit the room you are informed by a computer AI that you that you are currently in a dream state and have to undergo basic diagnostic tests before you begin the therapy. You wake up in a small room to an alarm clock going off. You arrive at the facility and undergo the procedure. After seeing an advertisement for Somnasculpt on television you decide to check out their dream therapy program to see if that will help with your issues. In Superliminal you play as a person who is currently dealing with some issues in their life. Receiving the review copy for free had no impact on the content of this review or the final score.

Superliminal has a few rough edges but it succeeds at being a truly original trippy experience that fans of quirky puzzle games should love. As I loved both of these games I was really excited to try out Superliminal. Meanwhile the gameplay in The Stanley Parable might not have been much, but the story and the overall experience was so unique that I have yet to find another game that has been able to successfully replicate it. ![]() Portal is simply one of the best puzzle game series that I have ever played as it combined innovative mechanics with really clever puzzle design. The puzzle elements seemed like something straight out of Portal and the overall atmosphere reminded me a lot of The Stanley Parable. As soon as I saw the trailer for Superliminal I was intrigued because it looked really unique and it reminded me a lot of the Portal series and The Stanley Parable. Regular readers will know that I have always been a big fan of puzzle games especially if they try something unique.
