Description
LIMINAL PHASE is a VR action horror game set in a parallel ‘90s. Fight malevolent monsters, solve peculiar puzzles, and explore the dark corners of a fractured mind consumed by video games. LIMINAL PHASE is a journey into the dark corners of Frank's fractured mind as he's struggling with psychic pain and teetering on the brink of a mental breakdown. Obsessed with videogames, Frank's world is turned upside down when a floppy disk containing the game Sanctum 3-D mysteriously appears in his apartment. As he becomes more immersed in the game, it becomes harder for him to distinguish between fantasy and reality. In order to save himself from spiraling further into darkness and from reaching the bottom of the dark spiral he's caught in, Frank must confront his deepest fears and battle his way through twisted and horrific environments created by his own mind. Inspired by games and movies from the era of CRT TVs, MS-DOS, and big box PC games, LIMINAL PHASE is a haunting and immersive experience for fans of horror.

Selected Articles
- "It’s a dreamy, foreboding game, full of nostalgia and familiarity, but also change and uncertainty. It’s about Frank, who is forced to face discomfort in the video games he used to dissolve into for safety, and it’s about exploring what happens when you blur the lines of reality."
- James, Horror Hopefuls - "In our latest game LIMINAL PHASE, players assume the role of a character named Frank, who is trapped in a dark and eerie apartment that serves as a gateway to other realms."
