LIMINAL SHIFT offers a haunting journey through the mysterious Backrooms universe, with a focus on pure exploration and environmental immersion rather than monsters and jumpscares.
In LIMINAL SHIFT players are thrust into an unsettling world of liminal spaces. The demo features an office block area and a poolrooms area, with seamless transitions and absence of loading screens between the two. This does a good job of maintaining constant tension, especially with the Meta Sound Technology enhancing the eerie atmosphere.
Your mileage may vary with LIMINAL SHIFT depending on how many liminal space games you’ve played (there are a lot of Poolrooms games about now), but it’s a very promising take on the genre. The visuals and audio design are excellent, there are some clever creepy moments and the seamless transitions between areas is a great touch. A creepy but tranquil trip through the Backrooms.
