Superliminal is a 2019 surreal puzzle video game released by Pillow Castle Games. The game, played from a first-person perspective, incorporates gameplay elements around optical illusions and forced perspective; notably, certain objects when picked up can be moved towards or away from the player, but when placed back down, scale to the size as the player had viewed them, enabling the player to solve otherwise impossible puzzles to complete the game.
Runs well on modern hardware.

What seemed like an interesting gimmick or game mechanic toy type of game turned into a genuinely fun and surreal experience.
It is a truly unique experience. I don't support every decision, like using too much bright white in the end, because it hurt my eyes, and I genuinely got motion sickness during the falling scene. The ending is a walking simulator and somewhat boring and patronizing. But thanks to the map editor, there are many more who make great puzzles with the basic idea. So yeah, it is totally worth playing it.
This game is pearfect. The puzzles are not too hard to solve, the mechanics this game uses to make you question what you are doing but still going with it and the message this game delivers to the player. Play this game, its worth it
