About Liminal Point
Liminal Point is a first-person survival horror title from HideWorks, releasing December 31 2026. Set on the fog-shrouded island of Ashen Point, it follows Lyra as she investigates a cryptic voicemail tied to her band’s past tragedy. You’ll navigate a decaying coastal town, avoid or fight unseen threats, and piece together fragmented memories through environmental storytelling. It runs on PC Xbox Series X|S and PS5, focusing on tense exploration and resource management. The game’s single-player structure emphasizes solitude and psychological unease, making it a modern take on classic horror tropes.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time moving cautiously through dimly lit environments, using a flashlight that drains quickly and alerts hostile creatures. Combat is sparse but high-stakes, relying on limited weapons like a rusted bat or makeshift explosives. Stealth is key: you can hide in crates or behind walls, but your stamina meter forces calculated risks. Puzzles involve restoring power to unlock areas or scavenging for clues in abandoned homes. The fog limits visibility, forcing you to rely on sound cues to avoid being flanked. Each session involves balancing exploration with survival, as you gather supplies and backtrack through increasingly surreal, Lovecraftian settings.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 92%, with critics at 87%. 32% of players finish it, averaging 13 hours. Moods are mostly anxious (68%) and curious (41%). Reviews highlight the tension of low-visibility chases but note repetitive enemy encounters. The most cited achievement is “The Signal,” unlocked by finding the voicemail’s source. 72% of players say the difficulty spikes in the final act. Price at launch is $39.99, with 15 achievements. Many call the environmental storytelling “chillingly effective” but warn it’s “not for casual horror fans.”
PlayPile's Take
Liminal Point is a short but intense experience best suited for survival horror fans who enjoy methodical playstyles. Its $40 price tag aligns with similar indies, and the 15 achievements offer minor replay value. While the 32% completion rate suggests it’s tough without hand-holding, the dense atmosphere and unsettling soundscape justify the challenge. If you’re okay with spending 10, 15 hours in a foggy, resource-scarce world, it’s worth the jump. Skip if you prefer action-heavy horror or open-world variety.
