Surreal First-Person Puzzler ‘Superliminal’ is Coming to Mobile Next Month, Pre-Orders Available Now
Back in 2020 developer Pillow Castle released their surreal first-person puzzler Superliminal on PC and consoles, and after a warm reception on those platforms our pals Noodlecake Games are now bringing the title to iOS and Android devices next month. Superliminal takes place in a dream therapy facility, where you are asleep and dreaming about being trapped in a dream therapy facility. Talk about meta. Or is it really a dream? Are you really in the facility? What’s actually going on here!? The fact that it’s a dream means nothing is off the table, and the puzzles in the game are all built around perception. So, for example, take a tiny object off a table and then hold it up in the air where it suddenly becomes huge, or look at something at just the right angle to create a new object or path to move forward. Get a glimpse of the type of gameplay on offer in Superliminal in the following trailer.
As you can see from that trailer, there’s a heavy Portal vibe going on as you work your way through and eventually outside the approved confines of this mysterious dream therapy facility, and all the while a computer-voiced narrator is admonishing your actions. I’m digging it. Superliminal will be free to try with a one-time full game unlock IAP that will set you back $7.99, but for the first two weeks of launch you can get that full unlock at a discounted price of just $5.99. You can pre-order the iOS version on the App Store here, or pre-register for the Android version on the Google Play Store here. I’ll be looking forward to getting lost in Superliminal when it arrives on mobile July 30th.
