GAMEPLAY NOTE: This is NOT a stupefying horror game with monster's scaring your wits out. Minimal use of user-interface, minimal dialogue. Under graphics, the game is best played with Ultra Settings.
STORY & CHALLENGES:
Relish the artistic yet unsettling world of Liminal Salvation where true fear comes out of sheer tranquillity, ever-present in the air and a worrying instinct that behind closed quarters, you are being watched by unseen forces.
The game puts to test your 'navigation skills' because finding the exit from a very irrational world need's a still mind. Since there is no easy escape, freedom from oppressive space is possible should you use 'intuitive skills' correctly.
GAME MECHANICS & CHARACTER PROGRESSION:
Game mechanics involve the players ability to run quicker, walk through shallow water's as well as dive deep inside any given waterbody. One can slide and literally jump over launchpads instead of climbing traditional ladders.
Since the game is an amalgamation of random pool levels, your progress is determined by moving forward. You first explore of what resembles a school, perhaps a reminisce of the good old days where one was carefree at best and having fun was the only motto in life. Later, you must deal with an pool based labyrinth where pin drop silence exists' in every nook and corner!
USP: Welcome to an eerie ambiance where you explore sublime craftsmanship & unique variation of pool room's. In addition, there is a huge catalogue of tiled wall's as well as floorings, that show-off reflections. Decent focus has been put on choosing the right combinations of indoor-outdoor lighting.
INSPIRATIONS: Built by solo developer using Unreal engine 5, my faith and inspiration came by case-studying 'Pools by Tensori', 'Anemoiapolis: Chapter 1 by Andrew Quist' and 'Dreamcore by Montraluz', the backroom's lure.
PLAYTIME: Min. 1 Hour 20 Minutes up to 2 hours 45 minutes
SOUNDTRACK: Just the sound of distant water drip's and footstep echo's are heard through and through. The project uses AI generated sound for hardly twenty seconds at the end of the gameplay.
I really enjoyed this very Atmospheric Liminal Space experience:) Loads of content and Huge interesting poolroom style levels. I particular enjoyed the demonic section, great creepy atmosphere:)
really cool and atmospheric
Finally, a game from someone who knows how women's bathrooms work
Liminal Salvation is for those who are really into horror-atmospheric sorta games. It's short, tight and really focused. I remember a scene where a wicked doll was chasing me end to end. Water physics looks very unreal engine like. No crashes or bugs whatsoever. I mention this because a few recent backrooms games I played kept crashing on me. Cave area to me stood as most bizarre in the whole game. That environment I've never seen in any backrooms lore ever before.
great game, the end makes me think that this is not the end???
I have never played a backroom's game so unpredictable as this one because it constantly gave me Goosebumps especially around the library area followed by different pool labyrinths. The places not only look massive and surreal but its simple, satisfying and beautiful. Level designs could improve should the dev pursue making a part 2 of the same game. I enjoyed the game pressing shift so ran quickly through area's that i didn't find interesting and sometimes i'd slow down to marvel at the sight of some never seen before location. No crazy head bobs - cool music - decent mouse sensitivity and most easy on the eyes.
worst game I ever set foot in, seriously don't buy it just save yourself from this.
Using VR Injector tried it on PSVR2. Man oh man, the rooms look sleek, spectacular and no doubt massive! Never knew what I was gonna get moving from place to place. Game is fine for the price. Lim scape was my most favoured backrooms of July but the month of August belongs to Liminal Salvation.
It does have couple cool areas, but overall it's not great.
Liminal Salvation costs $3.99.
