Superliminal

Pine Studio · 2019

Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game built entirely around forced perspective. Players manipulate objects by moving them while holding them, then dropping them at new apparent distances to scale them up or down. This enables climbing, bridging, and unlocking. Trompe-l'œil elements require precise alignment to become interactive. Puzzles involve navigating rooms to reach exits that are closed, elevated, or hidden. The game establishes a single, elegant perceptual rule—and sticks to it rigidly.
