Transliminal

About

Transliminal is an indie adventure game set in a procedurally generated maze inspired by the Backrooms. Each playthrough reshapes the labyrinth, blending mundane settings like offices and hallways with unsettling distortions. You wander through these spaces, collecting fragments of stories from previous visitors. The gameplay focuses on exploration, no combat or puzzles, just the slow build of tension as you piece together what happened here. The procedural generation ensures no two runs are the same, with new paths and secrets emerging each time. Players highlight the game's use of silence and strange details to create unease, avoiding direct horror in favor of psychological mystery. The protagonist's personal issues subtly intertwine with the discovered tales, adding depth to the experience. Though short, it’s left a mark with its atmospheric design, particularly among indie horror fans.

Storyline

From the opening scene it's clear that the main player character has his own issues to work out. But as you explore the various levels, you may find the threads that weave together several tales that came before you.
