I love liminal spaces. I usually experience a sort of warm, soft comfort from them. Probably from exploring my dad’s empty office building back when I was a kid. He and his secretary were the only employees, so there were tons of empty, poorly lit rooms and hallways.
But the longer I played this game, the more dread started to creep over me. Probably because I have a mild fear of deep waters, and you can’t see anything in these waters unless you’re standing right over them.
Yeah the game distorts your vision slightly, to add to the subtle anxiousness. You can fine-tune it in settings, but by default, it can make you feel a little unsteady and ungrounded.
