![]() Superliminal plays in an ingenious, subtle, yet so straightforward way with the players’ perceptions, nudging them through the room after room of ever-growing challenges. Thus a small triangle can become a room-size ramp that helps you reach a door placed closed to the ceiling, just as a medicine ball can be shrunk to the size of a billiard ball to fit in a hole. ![]() Superliminal takes advantage of these changes in perception and tasks the player to solve different puzzles by manipulating various objects through changing perspectives. If we pick it up from the table and hold it in our palm we will perceive it at its regular size, if we move it in front of our eye it will seem huge, but if we move it to the furthest corner of the room it will seem very small. The closer it is to use the larger it seems, while the further it is the smaller it appears. Let’s take for example a chess piece, the knight. But what is perspective? Well, the simplest explanation is related to the way different objects are conveyed to create the illusion of 3D and spatiality. The latter is the key feature of the game, Superliminal challenging you to remodel the surrounding reality by changing the angle from which you observe it. While it may sound simple and banal, the level design ensures the constant sweating of our neurons, in a perpetual chase of solutions and of finding the correct perspective. As one of the candidates, our main mission is to dream and through it manipulate our surroundings until we get to the end. In the case of Superliminal, the story takes us to an institute that studies dream therapy. The scope is to solve your way to the ending, by manipulating different objects, while taking advantage of the creative use of perspectives and the laws of physics. The basic elements remain the same in all the representatives of this new wave of puzzle games: first-person view, a more or less elaborate story that constitutes the motivation to go and solve tons of puzzles, and a setting that makes the whole package believable.
