What Is LIMINAL LAND?

[@Ultrasound700]

Charon is also the name of the entity in Greek mythology that ferries souls across the river Styx, leading them to the afterlife.

[@TheCabalOnMars]

Which gives the labyrinth-minotaur-sacrifice theory some merit I feel.

[@MiddayEnglishman]

I read it as "Aperture Science" lol

[@Blisterdude123]

Yeah, soon as I read the corp name I felt like that was pretty on the nose.

[@TrippinAlpaca]

It's great to see nexpo and Nick create something that they're known for, but letting smaller channels take the reins of the deep dive and investigation

[@drswag0076]

i'm surprised these two are the ones behind it.

[@corrinaramos5906]

dude, ur insane. the quality of your videos keep getting better & better, wouldnt be surprised to see you hit 100k before the end of the year. keep the grind up!!! it'll pay off so so soon 🙏

[@VirtualCarbon]

Thank you bro

[@naranara1690]

I always had a level of anxiety when it came to places like amusement parks; this place sounds like a nightmare come to life

[@Neurassure]

And it could only come from the genius of Ryan and Nick!

[@John-mf1sz]

It sounds awesome! I would 100% visit Liminal Land if it were an actual place 😂

[@sourgreendolly7685]

That's exactly why I love Liminal Land

[@MiddayEnglishman]

Yeah, Disneyland was really creepy.. have you been? animatronics really fcking screw with me!.

[@ExpertContrarian]

What a strange thing to be scared by

[@dunethewanderer8944]

As a New Mexico native, I can say that putting the park in Lake Valley is so weird because to call it a "bump in the road town" would be putting it *mildly* to say the least. It's sat between Deming and Hillsboro and even then you'd have to be going *that specific route* to even pass it, since it's at least twenty to thirty minutes away from every other major road.

[@torivss]

i think this could be really good but the fact it is called liminal land is a little too on the nose for me. like it removes all potential horror of the unknown, like the intentions of the park, etc. i’m taken out of the horror whenever i see them say liminal because it’s feels like it’s legit just pointing out exactly what the want to spook you, which doesn’t leave much to the imagination (where so much of the horror of liminal spaces comes from)

[@Gamegobazooka]

Funnily enough, I think if they called it Limen Land (like Sofia’s daughter misspelled), it would do better to feel like an actual place that could feasibly exist.

[@torivss]

@@Gamegobazooka yeah that’s so true. like they could have done something less “look its liminal space horror” while still incorporating the word “liminal” by using some synonym to it

[@StrangeStorylines]

Personally I'm kinda tired of how souless the story feels at times. From anomalies to glitched faces, it gets pretty old quick. The concept of the people wanting to go into a ride and then constantly repeat it is interesting, but the rest of it feels very underwhelming.

[@CGCGCG91]

@@StrangeStorylines It's very much a paint by numbers ARG. It doesn't feel like there's any heart to it - like they've pumped all recent ARGs into it and then ended up with this

[@torivss]

@@StrangeStorylines 100% true. it all feels like someone got access to an ai image generator and just pumped out the images. at least other analog horror series have actual art or even props made by the creator… meaning some effort was put in.

[@Captainamericaswifereal]

Hey man, found your content a little while ago and I've been hooked. I don't comment much, it's never really been my thing. But I want to say how impressed I am by your quality and consistency. I look forward to seeing your account grow and seeing you gain a large fanbase. Keep up the amazing content:))

[@AngelNG-dw3rt]

Man, this channel has some good quality vids that i just can't stop watching, especially the "videogames of a disturbed creator" one.

[@lanagomisc.6005]

I've seen the Liminal Land series, and I don't think anyone's made this connection, but there's an avant-garde silent film from the 1920s called "Metropolis." It's very critical of capitalism and how it kills more people than it helps with the factory as the place setting. One of the most significant and disturbing scenes in the movie is when the factory is revealed to be an alter to Moloch, continuously fed victims of factory accidents in the name of profit. Moloch is portrayed as a god of success, prosperity, and human progress that requires human sacrifice in order to for the sacrificers to maintain that wealth. I don't know if Nick or Nexpo have seen the film and drew inspiration from it, but the parallels between the stories makes me believe they did.

[@lalas181]

I am _so here_ for the "Liminal Land is a modernized adaptation of Metropolis" idea! Also, thanks for the unintended reminder that I need to go watch Metropolis.

[@paz1514]

Thank God capitalism has done more good than communism and socialism 🤭😗

[@lanagomisc.6005]

@@paz1514 didn't even mention communism/socialism. Being critical of capitalism does not automatically make you a commie.

[@carred-r7c]

​​@@paz1514Greed does no good. No matter the political ideology. Then again, capitalism is the ideology that exalts greed as a virtue.

[@Jon-ei4st]

​@paz1514 the irony of saying this while having a Disco Elysium profile picture puts your IQ on full display.

[@emilyjones9787]

I love how Liminal Land is finally getting traction! Nexpo and Nick really outdid themselves with this- an arg that's _not_ mascot horror? Love it ❤

[@paruf1sh]

i mean, dreams of an insomniac is kinda mascot horror but not really at the same tine

Weird ass people lmfao

[@sofia_g23]

I visited Liminal Land with my dad in 1987! That Serpentine coaster was rad. I was starting to think I’d imagined it. Thanks for the memories!

[@fluffcake]

I ain’t gonna lie the concept sounds very intriguing and seems to be going In an entirely new direction and I can’t wait to see more of it unfold!

[@pinewolfpresents]

I just love the idea of a liminal amusement park, sounds awesome. We need more themed amusement parks in general

[@sketchywav7741]

I had no idea liminal land tied into the backrooms. And it does the backrooms right. There’s a very heavy sense of exploration and the fear of the unknown. It’s not “creepy party goer omg!!” It does everything in a very clever way. I also love your content man. Don’t ever stop you’ll have your huge break through soon enough I can feel it.

[@RawMediaArchive]

now this is how i want to spend my summer

[@spacex6997]

Reminds me of the time I went to Lotte World, South Korea. There was a section that felt strange simply because there weren't a lot of people there aside from my family.

[@AutMouseLabs]

I love creepy amusement parks but this feels more like imitation than inspiration. Each piece has a clear analogue (pun intended) to an existing project. I appreciate that so many references were chained together but it still feels off to copy so much. Thanks for covering it Virtual Carbon.

[@cernos7230]

Good for Nexpo for creating their own story, might have been cooking for sometime.

[@AroundTheBlockAgain]

Naming the park "Liminal Land" and setting it in the 80s is a fascinating study on current trends and interests. Right now we love retro aesthetics (back in The Good Old Days when we maybe could have felt safe and happy) and oddly-familiar everyplaces full of deja vu (if we're going to feel weird we want to be able to do it on purpose). While philosophers and designers have been discussing "liminal" and "non" places for decades, it wasn't so much a popular interest in decades past. The pop culture of the 80s was more drawn to big, loud, or unapologetically weird adventures. Think "Action Park" (and for the purposes of this video, all its controversies). If Nexpo and Nick Crowley were aiming for period authenticity, they would have decided the park was named "The Everything Park" or something like that. By naming it "Liminal Land", it distinctly brands the park as a 21st century imagination set within the late 20th century. An incongruity. Something that feels just a little off. An alternate history that doesn't just ask "what if the past was different", it asks "what if we had the present but in the past". I could really get into that kind of a thing.

[@laynedoe3455]
