'Superliminal' (ALL) Gets Steam Date, New Features - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 5, 2020 @ 12:05 p.m. PDT

Superliminal is a puzzle game where you explore the ambiguity of perception and depth in this surreal world by manipulating objects in physical space according to their perspective.

Literally think outside the box. Kick the box. Flip the box and get inside the box. Look up. Look back. There is no box!

Perception is reality… until it’s not.

Superliminal will test players’ problem-solving skills as they must figure out how to bend reality and perspective to their will in order to continue.

Superliminal is a single-player, first-person puzzle game that uses perception as a mechanic. You play as someone who wakes up in a surprisingly lucid dream. As you complete puzzles to get to the next exit, certain patterns and truths become more apparent. In this game, everything is exactly what it seems to be! Wait, no… that’s not right. Everything is the opposite of what you think it is? That’s not correct either. This is a game about breaking expectations and thinking outside the box. What you see is what you get. Literally.

After a successful launch on the Epic Games Store last year that resulted in it being the #4 top-seller during launch week, developer Pillow Castle Games is happy to officially announce that their forced-perspective puzzle game, Superliminal, will be available on Steam for Windows, Linux, and macOS on November 5th, 2020!

The Steam launch will include some awesome updates and new features! If you already purchased Superliminal on the Epic Games Store, you’ll receive all of these features, where compatible, too. Here’s a peek at what’s being added:

Steam Features:

  • Remote Play Optimized - Play the game streamed to your TV using Steam Link.
  • Steam Achievements - Achievements that launched alongside the console versions in July are now fully integrated with Steam’s Achievement system.
  • Steam Workshop [beta] - The devs are working on some very experimental features for Steam Workshop. More details will be revealed soon!

Challenge Mode:

The overwhelming response from the speed running community to Superliminal encouraged the devs to add a new Challenge Mode, which will score players per-level on metrics such as time to finish, grabs, and jumps.

Developer Commentary:

Players can turn on extensive developer commentary that has been added throughout the game, so they can learn the secrets and history behind the game’s development.
