Liminal Shift is an exploration game that plunges you into the uncanny calm of liminal spaces, those eerie, in-between places where reality blurs and time feels like it has stopped. Inspired by the haunting allure of the Backrooms mythos and powered by Unreal Engine 5, this game invites you to walk alone through dreamlike corridors, silent chambers, and abandoned interiors that hum with existential unease.

There are no monsters here, just the creeping tension of the unknown. The fear in Liminal Shift doesn't shout; it whispers. You'll feel it in the flickering lights overhead, the distant echo of your own footsteps, and the sense that something just left the room before you arrived. Every space is carefully crafted to unsettle not with violence, but with stillness.

Minimalist storytelling allows you to interpret events through exploration alone. Multiple endings await depending on how you choose to engage with the environment. There are no traditional puzzles at first, just subtle environmental cues and interactions. For the curious, optional deeper layers like the surreal "Pinkrooms" introduce light puzzles and narrative secrets.

Sound is the glue that binds the atmosphere together. The low hum of electric lights, the distant drip of water, and the occasional creak of invisible tension all contribute to a chilling, almost meditative solitude.

Liminal Shift delivers something rare: a quiet descent into the uncanny that is not about survival, but about presence.
