About the Game

Liminal 98 is an infinite short-loop game set in four distinct liminal spaces, with a visual style reminiscent of 90s video games.

Each run drops you into a procedurally generated location: the fluorescent corridors of the Backrooms, the still water of the Poolrooms, the decayed halls of the Rusty Rooms, or the abandoned wards of the Hospital Rooms. Find the exit. Get out fast.

Every location tracks your fastest escape. Each run is a chance to beat it.

You may not be alone. Three entities roam these spaces. Whether one appears depends on where you are: some locations attract them more than others. Which one shows up is never guaranteed. The longer you take, the more aggressive they become.

Features

  • Four themed liminal spaces, procedurally generated each run

  • 90´s era visuals: low poly geometry, pixelated textures, retro aesthetic
