About This Demo

You come to in a maze of humming rooms and long halls. The lights buzz. A radio plays from a corridor you have not seen yet. Something is already moving.

Liminal Depths is a top-down pixel horror game set in an infinite indoor labyrinth. The map generates as you walk. There is no world to memorize. There is only the next turn, the next job, and whatever is waiting past the light.

Your only shelter is a safehouse. A generator. A computer. A door that still closes. Power it, or the building goes dark around you.

The terminal is how the Depths talk to you. Recover a signal fragment. Haul fuel before the generator dies. Scan a sector. Hold a stabilizer. Walk a relay chain until the network comes back.

Every job pulls you farther from home. The halls get longer. The rooms stop looking familiar. Coming back with the item is only half the job. Coming back alive is the rest.

You are missing more than a way out. You are missing a name, a job, a life.

Memory terminals sit deep in the labyrinth. Reach them. Answer them. Each one gives a piece of you back. Recover enough of your identity and an exit finally exists. Hold the exit. Leave. See how long the run took.

Until then, you work, you upgrade, and you try not to die in hallways that all look the same.

Nothing in the dark hunts the same way. One threat freezes in your light. One keeps its distance until you look. One only moves when you do. Others patrol the halls or wait for the flashlight to die.

They come from rooms you haven't seen yet. They leave when you get too far. The maze is never empty for long.

The first hit leaves a blood trail. When the battery dies, so does the light. Medkits, glowsticks, fuel, and whatever you can carry are the difference between a run and a restart.

Photograph the Depths. Earn signal points. Spend them at the upgrade terminal on a battery that lasts, a generator that holds, a little more time.

Crouch through gaps that standing will not fit. Push what blocks the path. Listen for radios that go quiet the farther you wander.

Every loop is the same and it is not. Prepare. Leave. Finish the job. Come home. Upgrade. Go deeper.

Play solo, or with a friend on the same couch. Every run is a new seed. Save and come back. The goal does not change.

Keep the power on. Remember who you are. Find the door that was not there when you started.
