![]() ![]() Sometimes you won’t even have that trusty camera handy and will be forced to use the ready-made images scattered around the level. Other times, however, there might not even be a teleporter, instead asking the player to line up certain perspectives to unlock new pathways. Say a teleporter needs two, three or sometimes even four batteries before it’ll put out enough power, just snap a picture and whaddya know – now you have two. Occasionally it’ll throw in the added incentive of powering up those teleporters with batteries, though it doesn’t always give you the right tools for the job. Somewhere along Viewfinder’s nearly six-hour roving experience, though, it begins to subtly change the rules. Other times, it’s about as difficult as restructuring the laws of physics. Sometimes, reaching a teleporter is as simple as snapping a picture of a bridge, and placing it within base reality to cross a gap. When you get there, it’ll send you off to a fresh new world begging to be explored. You’ll be doing all that with the aim of reaching each level’s end goal, usually in the form of a teleporter. It allows the player to take two-dimensional images of the game’s floating-island puzzles and bring them forth into the third dimension, free to walk on, in and behind if you so wish. Overall, Superliminal is an innovative 1st person puzzle game which creative puzzles that break your perception of reality.Remember that Polaroid camera we mentioned? Viewfinder’s most interesting aspect is the one and only tool it gives you – the camera’s viewfinder. These puzzles are fresh and imaginative, and are sure to have you going “oooooh, so that’s how you do it!”. The first rule to this game is forget everything you think you know about puzzle games. The whole thing is a dreamland gone haywire. This game is sure to give you a fresh perspective on those issues.Each level introduces a new, more difficult, aspect of your dreamland. The game does deal heavy topics like self-doubt and worthlessness. It gets progressively harder as the game goes on, then near the end gets pretty easy, which is strange. Sometimes the jazz music stops entirely, which is extremely unnerving. The only sound besides the occasional recording is soft jazz music which can make any other sounds spooky. Sometimes as you walk, doors randomly slam, which can give the impression someone is following you, which is spooky. There are many dark hallways, and sometimes you fall through the floor, which can surprise you. There is an agenda on the wall that reads: Murder Murder Murder Murder Murder Murder BEANS which can be unnerving. There is some paint splattered on the floor to look like blood. As for violence goes, it is really just eerie. ![]() There is no real interaction with other characters. There are no hints, so you can spend hours on a puzzle with little success.The little guidance you have is through a recording. (not literally, of course) There is little guidance, which makes it harder. When you finally solve a puzzle, it feels very rewarding, which makes up for all the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into the level. While there is little violence, the puzzles are complicated and even the adults in your family might have trouble solving them. That’s the reality for Superliminal, a mind-bending, slightly spooky game. ![]()
