Project Liminal Redux (v1.0)

An abandoned mall stretched around silent swimming pools creates an unnerving stage for first-person survival horror. Project Liminal Redux leans hard into the discomfort of liminal spaces: fluorescent corridors, empty storefronts, tiled water areas, and rooms that feel familiar without ever feeling safe. The threat is often heard or sensed before it is seen, turning every corner into a test of nerve. Its tone is lonely, surreal, and deliberately oppressive rather than action-heavy.

Survival depends on carefully searching the environment for notes and clues, piecing together riddles, and finding routes out of increasingly unsettling locations. Exploration is the main loop, but it is constantly interrupted by hostile entities that force you to flee, hide, or rethink your path instead of standing your ground. Notes provide fragments of context while also encouraging players to inspect spaces that might otherwise seem like dead ends. Progress comes from observation and memory as much as speed, since missing a clue or panicking during a chase can leave you trapped in the maze-like setting.

Realistic 3D visuals give the pools, shops, and empty hallways an oddly tangible quality, making the familiar architecture feel more disturbing than a conventional haunted house. The strongest moments come from uncertainty: something appears to be following you, yet a glance behind may reveal only another deserted corridor. Project Liminal Redux suits players who enjoy backrooms-style horror, environmental puzzles, and vulnerable escape sequences more than combat or elaborate storytelling. Fans of games such as The Exit 8, P.T., or shorter indie chase horrors will appreciate its focus on atmosphere, though veterans should expect a compact, tension-first experience built around dread rather than deep systems.
