16 itemsAbout the Game
Liminal Universe is a solo first-person adventure game that takes you deep into Liminal Space. In this experience, you focus not on the story but on understanding the world around you and the atmosphere it creates. The game starts on an entirely empty snowy map, and then continues with a pool and ocean.
Although the game sometimes tells you what to do, it leaves it unclear what exactly you should do.
There are no creatures chasing you or complicated puzzles to solve in Liminal Universe. The aim is to discover the story of this forgotten place at your own pace. Sometimes it can be difficult to find your way through narrow corridors, dark corners and seemingly endless empty rooms. But these challenges deepen the game's atmosphere and your experience.
The game has no dialogue, user interface or music. Instead, you step into a world filled with realistic environmental sounds. The echo of your footsteps, the hum of the machines continuing to work, and the silence of game draw you into this strange world.
With each step, you will feel more and more the strange and mysterious nature of the liminal world. This is a place to discover, a mystery to understand, but most of all, an atmosphere that draws you in. Liminal Universe aims to offer you not just a game, but also an unforgettable experience.
