![]() At times during the demo, I ended up in some corridors behind the scenes, which hints that something isn’t quite right with this place. It seems as though you’re in some kind of testing facility, designed to test the application of this perspective-based size theory. ![]() This is where it becomes quite Portal-like, albeit with a dash of The Stanley Parable. All done by picking them up and dropping them at the right perspective angle. Pick one up and you can make it big enough to become a step up, perhaps grabbing a few of them to create an actual stairway up to the door, allowing you to exit to the next puzzle area. So, one puzzle will give you a door that’s too high to reach, but there are blocks all around you. Only in Superliminal, dropping the tennis ball when it looks as big as a door, will make it as big as the door. Imagine you’re holding a tennis ball: if you close one eye and hold the ball up, it might look like it’s the same size as your front door. Pick it up from metres away and you’ll find that you can drop it at your feet, dramatically reducing its size.Īlright, that wasn’t great was it? Let’s try again. Seems impossible when you first stumble across this obstacle, but you’ll naturally begin trying to move it out of the way. Exit that room and you’ll be confronted with a giant chess piece blocking your way, but you can pick it up. Maybe you’ll look around and drop them elsewhere, which will likely change their size. ![]() You’ll find a table with chess pieces on it, and be encouraged to pick them up. The game teaches you intelligently, rather than giving you a straightforward tutorial. It’s very difficult to explain, if I’m perfectly honest, but I’ll try. A tiny object can be made huge, simply by changing your perspective. Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game, but it has a unique and extremely clever idea at its core. ![]() It’s highly likely that developer Pillow Castle Games also loves Portal, as evidenced by the demo of Superliminal. We all love Portal, right? We love its daft humour, its impressive script and its wonderful puzzles. ![]()
