What makes an incredible puzzle game? To me, it needs to teach you its ideas through gameplay, and ramp up the challenge in a way that makes you forget you're even learning anything. Portal is the perfect example, but Superliminal expertly continues that approach to design, and it's one of my favorite experiences the genre has to offer. It's good that you can grab it for less than $7 right now, then - just don't wait around. Read the rest of the story...

Big 50% off sale! We are pushing an update to improve the flow of multiplayer games, particularly the lobbies. Previously, it wasn't necessarily clear when a round would be beginning. There's now a helpful timer, as well as a fancy new alarm clock by the starting bell (you know, the bell that lets the host start the game) that will let you add some extra time to the countdown, in case you are waiting for a few extra people to join. Here is a list of the new stuff. As you can see, most of it is for multiplayer. Grab some friends and play a few rounds. Maybe you'll see us in there! Main screen a

Last year, we were honored (and honestly? Blown away) to be nominated as finalists for Most Innovative Gameplay in the Steam Awards. Since then, we've continually updated Superliminal with new features and improvements, including the recent addition of our new Multiplayer Mode. Each update has always been free for all players, both existing and new. If you like what we're doing, please consider nominating us this year for Labor of Love. Thanks, and happy holidays! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34782250/8446c6232193760b89f69f11a9d9dda210e54ebd.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34782250/d3c4042786780e0b028a560fed8ded

Superliminal, the acclaimed perspective puzzler from developer Pillow Castle, is introducing an "experimental" battle-royale-style multiplayer mode in a free update on Steam next week. In its original, single-player-only guise, Superliminal took players on a brain-flexing first-person journey through the SomnaSculpt dream therapy programme, in which the environment - and objects within it - could gain hitherto unseen properties by manipulating perspective. A small wooden cube resting on a table might, for instance, be transformed into a much bigger block - perhaps useful as a means to clamber
