Interior Worlds #1 - Comfy Liminal Photography

[@sodaraptor]

Hey, dev here~ thanks so much for checking out Interior Worlds! Really enjoyed your other videos covering games with liminal spaces, so it was cool to see this pop up on my feed today. There's a pretty big update releasing hopefully this month with more content~ Cheers!

[@GoobsNYC]

So glad I found this comment. I loved the game and I’m so excited to hear that there will be more. Amazing work homie

[@RawMediaArchive]

ur game is epic

[@meridiasbeacon7669]

I love this and Hypnagogia! You're an excellent artist and I hope you'd keep sharing your work with the rest of us!

[@KaosDeathLord]

I have to ask, and this is not in a mean way as I love fatal frame and wish more games would use this style, does this game perchance take inspiration from Fatal Frame?

[@RetroMemerr]

[@KefkeWren]

I commented once already early into the video, but I just wanted to say how this reminds me of a concept I had for a game years and years ago. The idea was to make an open world sim where you would be a freelance photographer, with a fully fleshed out gameplay loop for just taking jobs and selling photos, but then at the same time there would be some paranormal elements that the game never told you about. You might, if you were lucky, catch sight of lights in the sky, apparitions in old buildings, maybe even cryptids. Pictures of them wouldn't really be worth more either, though they might open up the ability to work for tabloids and online conspiracy boards. The thing is, the more pictures you took of them, the more you examined those pictures, the more you went _looking_ for the paranormal, the more you'd start finding it, and the more the tone of the game would shift until your gameplay started to revolve around those previously unnoticed paranormal elements. I would have called it something clever like "In Focus".

[@thegratrix453]

excellent idea, different story for different entities? could be a long and a really enjoyful game honestly but i think the start would be a bit slow and maybe not that fun? but that's just my pov, maybe I don't have a good idea in my head:D

[@PeterBee911]

That game would be so neat! I love a game with a hidden aspect like that. Almost one you'd hear about in a creepypasta.

Hi arbitrary !!!

[@bard2874]

Please don't edit out the pictures you take throughout this game, it's such a cool part of the experience. Seeing what you find to be an interesting picture to take, or how something should be framed, is what I feel makes the end result so good. Being able to look through your library after taking all the pictures and remembering what you were thinking in the moment is so neat to me. It's like looking back on pictures you took while on holiday. In your mind, those memories already seem so distant, even if it just happened, but when you look at pictures or videos, all the memories come flooding back like you're there again.

Seriously. He always edits out the kost important parts of games like this. Constant jump cuts completely ruin the atmosphere, tension buildup, and pacing. It’s always so damn annoying

[@abandonedmuse]

As a published author in the Urban Exploration genre I am loving these. And I completely understand your pain when taking shots. I am the same way. Not only that, but sometimes you only get one time at a location and then it gets shut down, torn down or disappears….so that one shot or 10, is truly all you’ll ever get.

[@XxxHawk66]

The intro of this game perfectly sums up how I've always felt about liminal spaces. I've never found them scary just comforting, if not a bit eerie from time to time. Even with things like the backrooms I fantasize about getting lost in the endless maze of familiarity, excited by the thought of whatever oddly nostalgic space I may find myself in around the next corner.

[@cometstardustxd8835]

Ironically liminal spaces make me feel nothing, I just see them as a image

How I didn't knew this game existed? This right here is my vibe. I love doing photography and I would like to invest more time on doing liminal photography in real life. I have a mid 2000s digital camera and I think it would be awesome to take liminal pictures with it. I just hope I actually find time to do it this year.

[@janglejingle5937]

you might also enjoy Umurangi Generation! less liminal, more cyberpunk, but very much photography

[@confustled]

I've been taking liminal space photos since around 2020. I started out biking around my neighborhood at night, but the next couple years had me in a sort of unique situation where I was regularly inside of nearly-empty schools. I can't tell you how many photos I've amassed on my phone. Would highly recommend using a digicam though, it's honestly way better. I personally use a Canon PowerShot SD600, A95, and an SX260 HS. No affiliation with Canon, they're just what I happened to find at my local thrift stores. If you'd like any more insight or tips, I'm all ears :)

[@SirAroace]

42:58 That is the wild thing about abandon metros, the station can be total dead but the Line is not. People rushing by but you still alone.

[@brickch4pel]

7:30 or so --- I think it's also worth noting that the retro style can look absolutely beautiful if effort is put into it. A lot of indie horror games just use it as an excuse to just go with developer art (not that I blame them --- a developer does not always equal a visual artist, not do they always have the funds to pay someone if need be), but when actual effort is put into either producing or selecting *good* assets which work around the limitations of low poly counts/low res textures , it can go a long way to looking both well-made and unique.

[@brickch4pel]

I like this one's visuals a lot personally because they look a little like a mishmash of maybe Fatal Frame/Resident Evil, Alien Resurrection PS1, and Doom 3

[@eg_manifest510]

1:10:25 there is that one horror movie called Hush, where a deaf woman has to survive a home invasion, all while the killer is taunting her through her disability, while she uses her remaining senses, some deafness-assistive paraphernalia, and her abilities as an author to try and avoid her demise

Whenever I urbex, I have 3 cameras, a digital Cannon PowerShot, a film OLYMPUS om10, and my cellphone. My buddies aren't fond of how slow my pace is, but they aren't the ones with the cool photo albums and several rolls of film that I swore I was going to get developed that I put off for far too long and I forgot where they're even from.

[@FiatUno2003]

[@BlackwolfWendigo]

I really appreciate your reference to Kubrick’s style of zoom at 1:00:57 😂

[@Foreck]

58:25 this comment disappoints me; the game is pretty because of its art direction. It doesn't need to look photorealistic to be pretty. You also mentioned that the graphics appeal to the nostalgia of older psx games and that that's their merit; that's entirely fair, but not unlike other art movements, I believe pixel art and low poly models are fully developed styles on their own that don't need to be "improved" further if what they look like is what the developer intended. On a separate topic, I think you should turn up the volume for the games you play (not for the videos), as it has become really common that you hear "very faint sounds" which we can actually hear very loudly and clear, so I think you might be missing on quite a few cues!

This is such a cool concept for a game! Would love to see a game like this without the faux retro aesthetic - something more realistic would be very immersive for us wanderers of the in-betweens. And the photographs would probably look incredible. Still, this is a very interesting game and I'm excited to see where it takes the Librarian next. And of course, excited for the next bout of Librarian's insightful, comforting commentary!

[@WindKaze]

The Librarian actually reminds me of the old ManlyBadassHero's videos. The high effort videos with skits in the middle of it all, not saying MBH's videos have gone downhill in quality, no. It's just better now, but I hope The Librarian also finds the success MBH found in the horror genre.

[@ZachariahJ]

Slightly off-topic, but since you brought it up... Back in the early 1970s, living in a decaying factory town in the UK, there were lots of derelict buildings to 'explore'. We'd go looking around for comfy places to smoke dope and drink cider (the cheap booze of choice back in those days). We would build little 'nests' from old cardboard and chairs that may have escaped the destruction. But we never thought of calling it something fancy like 'UrbEx'! Wish we had - we could have explained it to the cops whenever they chased us away. ;-)
