Liminalcore

Liminalcore is an exploration-focused horror game about a man who surfaces from the water in Level 37, the Poolrooms, and finds himself trapped among white tiles and endless pools. As you explore spaces between worlds, you piece together fragments of the protagonist’s life and death: objects from a forgotten past, memories of a lost home and places that once felt familiar. His journey descends through regret and uncertainty toward Hell.

Explore the liminal spaces

The game focuses on eerie environments rather than battles with monsters. Entities are rare; the unsettling emptiness, echoes of the protagonist’s past and strange in-between worlds are what you confront. The four locations represent stages of his life, memory and descent:

• Level 37 (Poolrooms): The journey begins among endless reflective pools, white tiles under harsh lighting and the sound of distant water.
• Faded Memories: A space between levels, filled with fragments of a life once lived, including glimpses of a home, an old neighborhood and other places from the protagonist’s past.
• The Infinite Stairs: An endless descent into darkness, where the air grows heavier and the space more claustrophobic as you go down.
• Hell: The final destination, where twisted visions of the past meet the horrors of the afterlife. Fleshy walls pulse, the air feels thick with despair, and shadows seem to watch you.

Piece together the past

As you navigate these surreal spaces, you uncover fragments of the protagonist’s life and death. The journey moves from the Poolrooms through memories and an ever-deepening descent, blurring the line between reality and nightmare.

Visual options

You can toggle the VHS filter on or off. When enabled, it gives the visuals a distorted, analog look reminiscent of old found-footage tapes.
