Transliminal: Beyond The Backrooms

My problem with most liminal space games is my ADHD and a general inability to mentally 'stand' being stuck in the same place. I imagine that's kind of the point of liminal games - to get lost in the maze and go crazy trying to figure it out - but to me, it's usually just a step too far with regards to my sanity levels and what I consider to be 'a good time'. Anyway. Here's Transliminal. It's not that thing. But it uses the backdrop of liminal spaces to create a horror / exploration / survival experience. It's got the liminal tropes that I do enjoy, like the VHS-cam graphics, tried and trusted liminal spaces, a general synth/vaporwave aesthetic, but it encourages exploration and offers a constantly-changing dream like experience in a horror house for the senses. There's death here. You'll die. A lot. Death is almost always a result of the general entropy of experience. There's hunger, thirst, health, sanity, plus hazards, poisons, nasty falls, and more. You'll find yourself scavenging desk drawers for food but uncovering rotting biohazard instead. You'll play a cassette tape of vaporwave to ease your psychopathy. You're trying to explore, but there's a smiling face on …

I don't know any other backrooms game I have 60 hours on and am still craving more, that's all I'm gonna say here.

I just want to explore this game forever. I've found it to be the perfect mix of walking simulator backrooms games and the objective multiplayer ones. So much to discover, and just when you're getting bored a new juicy nugget keeps you pulled along. I'd go so far as to say this is the best single player backrooms game on Steam right now. The vibes, the mechanics, the lore, even the looting becomes very satisfying. Sadly my laptop died and I was unable to finish the game. To the devs, I know some may consider this a cop out, but if you ever opted the game into GeForce Now or other cloud services you'd be making one fan very happy 🙏

I always get lost in games like this. Figured it was worth a shot. Probably not one for me, but I do think this is probably one of the more promising Backrooms style games that I've played. Not much else to say. If you enjoy games that explore The Backrooms and liminal spaces, this could be a good fit.

Good game

This game has the most potential out of any backrooms game ive ever played to be the best. just stop sending me to the playgrounds mannnn. but i would add a building system and a stalker entity that shows up by chance maybe during the hotel level or office level but whatever level thats on it should have all the goodies. like the stalker is more or less a regular dude just trying to hoard food and supplies that would be kinda cool idk. just brainstorming just feels like its missing something. but i heavily enjoyed this experience and reccomend it to everyone else.
