Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game inspired by perspective and optical illusions. Stuck in a dream therapy program, you must explore a surreal environment and solve puzzles by thinking outside the box. In this world, what you see is exactly what you get—literally. Use forced perspective to change the size of objects and find your way out of the dream world.

96/100

Superliminal is one of those rare games that will genuinely make you question your own eyes. It’s a first-person puzzle game built entirely around the concept of forced perspective. If you pick up a small chess piece and hold it so it looks giant against the back wall, when you let go, it *becomes* giant. It’s a mind-bending 'Aha!' moment that never gets old.

The game is set within a 'dream therapy' program that has gone slightly off the rails, giving it a surreal, slightly eerie atmosphere reminiscent of Portal, but with its own unique voice. The puzzles are brilliant because they require you to unlearn how you think 3D space works. You’re constantly looking for secrets in the shadows or trying to find the one specific angle that turns a 2D painting into a 3D doorway.

The transition to mobile is impressively smooth, though you'll want a modern device to handle the complex physics and lighting. It’s more than just a puzzle game; it’s an exploration of perception and how we choose to see the world. It’s short, punchy, and utterly unforgettable. If you enjoy games that challenge your brain and offer a deep, philosophical subtext, Superliminal is a must-play.

Best game I ever played in my life
Tue Jul 30 2024 jovan_lukic

Okay, words cannot describe the feeling I had when I finished this game. During gameplay it feels like constant high, that is getting higher with every level you complete. Surreal feeling. First game I played was on MS-DOS, so believe me - I have experience. Since then, I played lots of games, different devices, different genres etc. This game, with very strange name, has to be THE BEST game that I played in my life. I am kinda sad that I didn’t know of this game before, so I could play it earlier or on different device, but nevertheless, it was awesome, even on iPhone. Thank you for this masterpiece.

I recently played this game on PlayStation and I was in awe the whole time, so I was excited when I saw that it's now available on mobile devices. This isn't a regular puzzle game. It will change your perspective on life and make you appreciate the things you took for granted. I encourage everyone to play this regardless if they like puzzle games or not because it's worth your time and will give you a different outlook on life. Good job to the developers and thank you for making this amazing game!

I’ve never written a review for a game before, but this was just so incredible that I had to. Superliminal is a beautiful, carefully-crafted, mind-bending game. The trial doesn’t even begin to prepare you for what the game has in store. As soon as you think you understand what’s going on, the floor (sometimes literally) drops out from under you, leaving you to figure out how to proceed. A beautiful metaphor for the problems we face and how we view them, Superliminal is well worth the $8, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Great, Just One Annoying Thing…

This game is really fun! I first heard about it several years ago, as I watched Markiplier play it, though he played it on PC I believe. The only issue I have is that for some reason, a red vertical line appears on screen right before I go to pick up an object, and it stays. Plus, the whole right side of the screen is tinted red. I’m not sure as to why this happens, but it’s hard to enjoy the game when half of the screen looks like it has a red filter. Plus, the line is just annoying as well. Otherwise, it’s a great game!

Great game

Unique mechanics and fun puzzles. I got Superliminal on PC a few years ago, but saw it was coming to IOS and had to get it, even though I’ve already beaten it, it’s still fun. One thing I wish is that they would add another mode, like a multiplayer mode for example. I’m sure they’ll probably update it in the future and add stuff. If you haven’t played this game before, give it a go!

It’s pretty good but full version is overpriced:

U think this game is pretty fun and has some interesting puzzle features to it giving me a Stanley parable vibe to it. Although the full version of this game costs way too much. The full version costs more than Minecraft mobile itself!. I would make it more like $2-$4. The game is really short and quick if you can understand the controls quick and have experience of the game. Hope this helps
