I can’t trust games anymore, years of conditioning have left me constantly anticipating a horror twist.

[@marti6021]

Coolernow especially in this Channel

[@_space_cat_]

I always have this feeling in a first person walking simulators lol. That's because you are completely alone in such games, you just expect someone else to show up . And sometimes they do...

[@AmunRa1]

The game is, overall, not a horror game, but there are a few spoopy parts. There's no monsters or jump scares, just a few scary atmospheric things.

[@PotawatomiThunderNew]

Build-a-Buddha what scary atmospheric things are you referring to? Because I didn’t get any sense of anything scary from this. Not even in an atmospheric type of way.

[@AmunRa1]

@@PotawatomiThunderNew I think it comes later in the game. There's a few little scary things that happen, like a bloody knife that you find that disappears when you look away from it, what looks like a head peeking at you from behind a door, but it's actually a supersized chess piece, stuff like that. Little things that make you think there MIGHT be a threat, but a threat never actually appears.

[@reydiantskyes8294]

I saw this as a post on Tumblr and I agree with someone when they said ‘Where do you even BEGIN to code this??’ Edit: People have been responding about where to begin coding and god all of this is super interesting!!

[@mbartelsm]

Math, objects are sized according to their relative size at the position of wherever you are looking at. For the perspective thing, it's simply about projecting a texture onto objects and making the object appear when you stand at a certain location.

[@lasagnatheory9108]

@@mbartelsm like if your movement is actually a switch to control how much it grows or get smaller? Well it make sense

[@yondaime500]

I coded something similar the other day. I wanted to replicate Blender's translate/rotate widgets, which appears at a fixed location in 3D space, like a regular object, but always take up the same amount of space on the screen, like an overlay. There's no equivalent to that in the library that I was using, so I created a regular object and added a trigger to make its scale proportional to how far it is from the camera. I guess this game just does that when you are holding the object, and when you let go, it freezes the scale and lets the physics take over.

[@justyouraveragemartian783]

Ohhh i know that post!!

[@canadashotgun2284]

I will like this to have an information center in my phone

[@j147589]

I like that the guy touched the fire extinguishers every time he can even we know there's nothing going to happen.

[@rafaelbrito9519]

Such a cool concept, love these innovative and creative indie games but I would try to place that door with the "push to open" sign on the door with the "some doors are better left closed" one to see what happens

[@williamwave9189]

That's an idea of a genius!

[@crimsoncuttlefish8842]

I just tried this-- you can't get the door in the right position to do so. There's a table in the way, unfortunately.

[@monochromaticstatic1002]

I actually bought this game a couple of months ago. I beat it all in one sitting and was absolutely mesmerized with the gameplay. Remember when Portal first came out and it felt like something that was so new that you couldn't even comprehend how someone could have thought it up? That is this game too. So much fun and super creative.

[@frankyu553]

Absolutely reminds me of Portal. Glad there weren't any stupid horror elements in the game. Just a wholesome puzzle.

[@c__pnk]

"Some doors are best left closed." *Immediately tries to open door*

[@austinmorrison6953]

Remember when this was called museum of simulation technology? This game is such a cool idea and surprisingly relaxing.

[@_.-.]

I remember when the depelopers weren't greedy.

[@mrlee6516]

Zack King is gonna love this game

[@rgerber]

Wait they added a "blend" effect when shrinking an object? That totally destroys the effect

[@miguelcruz2941]

Depends there are several instances where the shrinking objects shrink just fine, idk but i guess its a mechanic for the really large objects when they are too close

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@miguelcruz2941 In most cases the solution to that would be to pick them up from far away. I guess they wanted to make sure you could shrink something even if you couldn't get far enough away to make it smaller normally. It's a bit of a deviation from the logic of the situation though.

[@erikedlund8711]

Superliminal: "HEY YOU! JOIN THE NAVY!"

[@Sebastianmaz615]

I swear I saw a game like this one about a year or two ago. It was very mind-bending/clever also. Like how one of the soda options is baking soda. Funny. 5:03

[@Sebastianmaz615]

@EdZ ok, makes sense now.

[@Zergei]

It's like Portal but on drugs 😂 If I remember correctly, Portal's predecessor was based around some reality warping stuff with a camera, so it's cool to have a game that uses similar mechanics!

[@lorducka2317]

Reminds me of the Stanley parable

[@AmunRa1]

I'm glad this game is finally leaving the Epic Game Store. I've been super interested in this game but absolutely refuse to use that store. Looks like whatever exclusivity deal they signed is finally running out.

[@thenifell]

@@richardgao8730 Of course they wouldn't.

[@omniscientomnipresent5500]

I'd love to see a camera out of bounds of this game.

[@FishyDaGamer]

This has always been my dream super power!! (Other than complete control over anything). Because it’s just so cool! Like I’ve always imagined this!

[@nanja7773]

try lucid dreaming methods. u can practice inducing them instead of waiting for them naturally (happens some people). u can go beyond things like just controlling ur dream world and stay conscious. If you become good, you can even manipulate ur subconscious to have better control of the dream, directly talk to ur subconscious and find out about things u didn't know about urself, and even affecting ur waking life like literally programing ur mind to have another lucid dream the next night XD

[@VELVETPERSON]

This game is amazing. It has very motivating plot

[@Oblivitana]

This is honestly one of the most calming games I have seen in a while

[@want-diversecontent3887]

Hey remember when markiplier played the Museum of Simulation Technology? This is that now.

[@volfarr2901]

@Jack K if you mean the one that takes place in a museum exhibition or some sort then I think it is the right one

[@st1ckez]

What game?

[@BlueM0bius]

@Jack K I believe the game was called "Museum of Simulation Technology"

[@artyomxiii]

Yeah I remembered

Throughout the video I was repeatedly agape and thinking "holy shit WTF!" This looks dope.

I never thought watching someone play a game could piss me off so much

[@rebekahslone2432]

Instant portal vibes. Especially the doors w the translucent/watery lookin doorways tht say "no objects beyond this point," jus like in Portal. The same kind of thing you walk thru during lvls and to the elevator tht reset your portal gun.

5:31 very calming music I can relax to in New York. Maybe go out to a restaurant, smoke a cigar and talk about the love of my life. Maybe have a few shots with the guys and discuss life. Maybe catch a taxi to God knows where but dammit I’m gonna make it work.

[@snowblind9290]

9:43 IS THAT BALLAS!? 11:15 HOW!? I've seen the technology but not in reverse!

[@wisecrack3461]

My theory is that the game is looking for the player to be in a specific xyz coordinate whilst looking exactly in the right direction, then it replaces the wall texture and spawns in the object. Optical illusions are fun :D

[@bobrobert9947]

I had this dream

[@CrossBorderNerds]

I wish it didn't have that transparent effect when you shrink an object. It just totally pulls you out of the magic of what's going on.

Neat game. Explore at your own pace and solve weirdly creative puzzles rather than relying on cheap jump scares or having some monster chase you around.

[@ChEkAlOtIcH3]

I am sure i have had dreams like this

[@misanthropicisolation4013]

It's not scary until you're told (9:40) that you're trapped in this place and they don't know how to get you out. It's some kind of dream study that went wrong and now you're permanently stuck wandering around in your own mind for eternity if they can't find a way to wake you up.

[@benluther1824]

Gotta mention this: you cannot read anything while dreaming

[@benluther1824]

@j philop that's not what I mean. It is impossible to read in a dream. The letters and markets will be incomprehensible. It is however your dream, so what occurs is your brain will interpret the message even though the symbols make no sense. I've opened books, seen signs, and been aware of what the message therein. Yet visually the words and letters were simply scribbles. That's true for everyone because the part of the brain responsible for symbol interpretation, or reading, is inactive.
