Sadly, for all its highs, Superliminal seems to lose its way in its second half. Superliminal also has the honor of creating one of the most atmospheric “horror” sections I’ve enjoyed in a game for a long time: one that played out in a way I simply never expected, but one that’s testament to Shih’s carefully curated universe. Corridors may look navigable until you get closer, when you realize you’ve been duped by anamorphosis puzzles are regularly ridiculous to the point of laughter even the loading screens raise a smile in a way that the story, and the narration, never quite achieve.

This comedy is one of Superliminal’s key strengths. You’ll find an odd pattern, which when lined up, creates a new object or path in another area, items endlessly duplicate, adding a surprisingly well-executed idea that incorporates a genuine level of humor. In its first half, the game has a consistent habit of stumping you, especially when it introduces a new ability to play with. Superliminal's flagship forced perspective element is superbly executed.
