This game MELTED a professional engineer's BRAIN!! Superliminal!

Whilst anyone that knows this channel will not be surprised by this fact, Superliminal completely blew my mind and made it melt into a little puddle of jelly which Paddy then licked up leaving me no more intelligent or mentally competent than an architect... Yes, this game is not for the weak. Perception based puzzles are absolutely fantastic though and I strongly recommend you go and check out this game! This the second and final part of Superliminal, possibly my game of the year!

ABOUT SUPERLIMINAL:
Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game based on forced perspective and optical illusions. Puzzles in this game give you a sense of the unexpected. Players need to change their perspective and think outside the box to wake up from the dream.
As you fall asleep with the TV on at 3AM, you remember catching a glimpse of the commercial for Dr. Pierce’s Somnasculpt dream therapy program. By the time you open your eyes, you’re already dreaming - beginning the first stages of this experimental program.
Explore a dream world where everything is exactly as it seems. Tread carefully as the world slowly unravels around you and subverts your expectations. What you see isn’t always precisely what you get.
In this fully-voiced adventure, Dr Glenn Pierce is doing his questionable best to guide you home and out of the dreamscape. His artificial intelligence assistant, however, is having trouble understanding exactly how you’re here at all, and has other plans for you.
We’ve added an extensive developer commentary throughout the game, so you can learn the secrets and history behind the game’s development.
The overwhelming response from the speedrunning community to Superliminal inspired us to add a new Challenge Mode, which will score you per-level on metrics such as time to finish, grabs, and jumps.
Superliminal features Steam Workshop integration. Bring any 3D object into the game and play around with mind-bending perspective tricks.

I can't get it to run on my computer. It seems unhappy with modern hardware.

[@GioeleGuenzi]

This game is inspired by Portal and The Stanley Parable. The male voice of superliminal is the same voice actor of The Stanley Parable. The female voice is the same voice of GladOS in Portal. It's a puzzle game like Portal but it trolls you like The Stanley Parable ecc. ecc. I can say that Superliminal is funny and original game

They captured my dreamland perfectly in the second half. That signature instability is how I know I am asleep.

[@nathanhunter6201]

That apples-and-wind puzzle stumped me so bad that I had to consult the internet. Only time during the entire game that I had to do that.

[@JadenVixe]

Man. Everything you tried on the apple level was exactly the same as what i tried... even trying to go up the hole.

[@sophiamarchildon3998]

I solved it in a different way. I just abandoned the apple, and spammed the fire alarm handle that is by the exit door until it reached the button.

[@0bjectr]

Just finished this game and loved it. I think it's interesting that we found different solution to a couple of the puzzles. With the fan i ended up cloning the fire alarm handle all the way over to the button and in the two doors with the key hole i dropped one above the key hole and jumped through while it was falling pass. Pretty sure you solved them both as intended but like that there are multiple solutions.

I highly recommend watching the WR any% speedrun of this game! Absolutely mental

[@michaolkowski3017]

After I've watched your first epizode of this game I've decided to buy it and it was the best spended money in 2021 so far, I've just finished the game at one sitting and it is absolutely gorgoes! Can't wait to try it on VR

[@al3jandr038]

Wouldn't work in vr. This game solely works because it manipulates your 2d non existent depth perception. In vr wirh your actual depth perception it Wouldn't be as seamless as 2d

It's 1:30 in the morning for me rn and my brain can't handle this at this hour but I also can't stop watching.

[@bluesonicstreak7317]

I tried to solve the lockbox room the same way (putting a keyhole-door-sized portal on top of a bigger portal facing the keyhole) and spent TWO DAYS on it tearing my hair out before finally finding a walkthrough with the "place the second portal inside the keyhole" solution. Worst part is that on day one, I found someone else's playthrough who actually managed to pull the former solution off, so I REALLY thought that's how you were meant to do it, and I was cursing the developers for another day before I looked it up again. It was the only part of the game where I got seriously stuck.

[@bluesonicstreak7317]

Also, to answer your question later in the video: there IS a type of colorblindness that cannot see color at all, but it's very rare. Most people just have trouble with one of the three color cones (red, green or blue). The most common types of color blindness involve problems with either the red or the green cones, and those people see red and green as similar (and desaturated) colors and have trouble distinguishing other colors as a result (e.g. purple looks blue because they don't perceive the red in it).

when you said it was really dark at 3:13 you missed the cursor changing because of the darkness

Hey, finally some fitting music, thanks for taking my suggestion ! However, maybe next time at least try out keeping the music of your original recording and see whether the cuts fit (or upload an unlisted version with it and one with music added) because sometimes you can hear the music double (or another track), but like you said last time the cuts might make it more difficult to listen to. Its a tradeoff.
