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.

Falling asleep at 3AM, you close your eyes to the cheesy commercial of Dr. Pierce's dream therapy program. You wake up in an unfamiliar enviornment, only to realize that you're stuck in a dream - a dream where perception is reality. Welcome to Superliminal.

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.
Mind-bending 'forced perspective' mechanics
Surreal and immersive dream-like atmosphere
Challenging puzzles that defy 3D logic
Thought-provoking philosophical narrative
High-quality 3D visuals and physics
If an object is too small to use as a platform, pick it up and look at the ceiling while moving it away from you. Because of forced perspective, the game thinks the object is now 'far away' and much larger. Drop it, and it will retain that new, giant size.
Superliminal, the dreamlike puzzle game from Noodlecake is available now on iOS and Android!

Always look for patterns on the walls or floors. Some doors only exist when you stand in a specific spot and line up several disparate paintings or shadows to form the shape of a doorway.
