About the Game

Disminal is a First Person Exploration/Walking Simulator experience set in the backrooms where you will be able to wonder through some of it's unsettling and vacant places, is there an exit to be found? or will you be staying here forever, lost between two worlds.

This game will focus merely on immersion and appreciation of aesthetics.

  • Most zones/sections in the game are greatly influenced by YouTube videos and images depicting liminal spaces

  • Featuring a 'MPEG' mode which graphically mimics the artifacts seen in actual low quality videos so as to enhance the immersion.
