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.

Original first-person puzzler relying a lot on perspective and angles, but not just that. Incredibly smart and mindbending. What an experience! It was frustrating by moments, I was stuck quite a few times, but the journey was worth it. There was stuff I never saw in any other game before. Attractive graphics with simple polygons and detailed objects. I really liked the radio communications by Doctor Glenn Pierce. I don't like preachy endings, but this one worked for me and offered words of wisdom.
And… oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details
interesting and fun game, very unlike most other games I play. The developer commentary was very cute and refreshing, very humanizing.
