can i play it on a mac os computer or a chromebook? if not do you mind making a mac os version love the game btw i played it on a friends pc. i love taking liminal photos and playing liminal games to explore the buildings abandoned places and nature keep up the good work amzing 10/10 would recomend
Thank you very much! Unfortunately I don't have a Mac of my own to build a version for it, as it is the only way to do it. If you are really interested to play it on your own, try doing a virtual machine with windows and run it there.
I really love a liminal game that I can enjoy the liminal part and not have to be chased around by monsters. Even with its simplistic surroundings I really had that "alone" feeling. I think the surroundings were great, adding more noises/sounds/music to the different areas would have really added that little thing it lacked. Also fixing certain audio in areas like the pool, im not sure if thats just the footsteps that can be removed but it did have a weird noise, some noises I feel like could have been more, like in the train area, you dont need to put that train in but the noise in the overall area would have been good, sometimes only hearing things for a short time until I went back and could only hear from my left or right side only. Over all I was very impressed with how long the game was too. Not a crazy amount of detail but I feel like thats how liminal is, simplistic and that feeling of knowing youve seen or been there before. Amazing game!
So I didn't finish the game but from everything I saw, in overall great game! There is just a bug with the menu buttons (or maybe this is just my screen resolution) but I can only interact with the buttons when my cursor isn't directly on the button. And other point, some of the levels are kinda empty. So maybe could add a bit more environment! Thanks for the experience!
Thank you! The resolution thing is a known bug that I fixed in an update I have ready, but unfortunately I have ran into some crash problems I cannot solve and won't upload it in the near future. Anyways, the feedback is appreciated :)
I have no idea why this forcibly causes Oculus and Steam VR to startup every time it runs.
However, that said, the experience proved to be overall quite frustratingly middling, with only a couple of standout moments. The environments very much invoke a feeling of isolation but if anything can be too empty, with little to do except find the next key/exit. My two favourites were actually sequential; the bizarre and abstract globes map (especially with its trick ending, well played) which really felt like the first true 'this was not made by humans' environment, and then the giant slabs immediately after.
The sound design is, at times, questionable; any time water is involved sounds more like you're squelching through thick mud rather than water. Other than that, I did like the slight thrill of occasional sounds which gave me a jolt, such as random footsteps in the pools level (always in the right ear, though) or distorted/unintelligible talking in the city.
The ending, coming full circle (and implying an endless loop) was a very neat touch, a piece of game design I almost hadn't expected by the time I reached the end, so that was appreciated.
I imagine a redux effort of this could involve just slightly more to do, or more to explore with perhaps some environmental storytelling in the form of random pictures on walls, graffiti/writing, etc.
