About
Subliminal is a psychological horror game inspired by the urban legend of The Backrooms. Bleeding-edge lighting and rendering, handcrafted open-ended levels, light and perspective-based puzzles, nostalgic spaces, unfamiliar faces, and a rotting feeling that something is not quite right.
Guided by your subconscious, venture deep into your mind and relive some of your most treasured and sacred core memories. Solve perspective and light-based puzzles as you continue through your mind, using your environment, surroundings, and nearby lights and shadows to solve puzzles.
