About This Game

Explore the impossible. Survive what follows.

LIMINAL is a first-person exploration and combat game set in an endless, seeded world. Walk out of a fogbound overworld, cross thresholds into 47 procedurally generated realms, fight what lives inside them, and push through seven crossings toward the end of your journey.

One world. No map. No markers.

The overworld is a single continuous land grown from one seed. Barrens give way to carved canyons, canyons to ruins, ruins to machine fields, and a bruised-violet megacity rises out of the haze. Fog banks travel across it, the light moves, and small animals react as you pass.

There is no HUD, objective feed, or trail of waypoints. You read the world directly: learn the landscape, remember the way back, and find your next crossing.

Every threshold leads somewhere stranger.

Look through a portal before you step across it. Empty hotels, abandoned malls, flooded galleries, impossible pools, lunar offices, cloud cities, and buried spaces each have their own architecture, weather, light, and sound. A journey that begins beneath open skies becomes more unsettling as you descend into hostile realms and the spaces below them.

Nothing lasts. Not even the ground.

Stay in a realm too long and it begins to dissolve, eaten from the edges inward until only the route to your next crossing remains. Fall out of a vanished world and you land in the Abyss: a black, living mass that hunts you until a portal gathers and carries you home.

Keep moving. Keep fighting.

Start with a revolver and face creatures with different movements, attacks, and weaknesses. Enemies grow more demanding the deeper you go, and boss encounters test the weapons and upgrades you have collected. Your shots leave visible wounds, can sever enemy limbs, and damage breakable surfaces in the world.

Defeated enemies drop orbs. Collect them on foot or shoot them out of the air, then bring your earnings back to the shop.

Build the loadout for your next crossing.

Spend orbs on weapons, equipment, and healing. Unlock a pump shotgun, add a laser sight or flame ammunition to your revolver, buy a skateboard, and move faster with cybernetic legs. Discover items with effects that stack, and upgrade the shop's reward drum for better item odds, rarer rewards, and more reward slots.

Open legendary chests and see what the crossing gives back.

Instruments left inside the world.

Four cathedral realms contain fully playable pipe organs with two manuals, pedals, sixteen drawstops, a working swell box, and 117 playable keys. They are not minigames or menus. They are instruments left in the world for you to find.
