SCARIEST liminal game in your opinion? I think this one is still the eeriest. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2663530/POOLS/
Absolute dog water attempt to shill your asset flip pile of garbage, OP.
>>733771610game without le heckin spoopy ENTITIES NUMERO 856415 would be decenti doubt any exists though>>733771682this
>>733771610are those donut shapes supposed to remind zoomers about something?
>>733771610fad's over faggot
>>7337722195/10At least you tried
>>733771610Kill yourself dumb kid, you must be underage to find this shit scary. Marble hornets was fun and then your pathetic generation made it all gay.
>>733771707>>733772410>>733773269>mascot horror good>weird building horror badWhy are uncs like this
Liminal horror traumatized me.
>>733773340>mascot horror goodnobody said that you dumb faggot
The backgrounds went from an interesting concept of infinite liminal spaces to discount SCP worst than what the trannies that took over SCP started writing.
>>733771610>Scariest ride at a themepark? I think the roller coaster is still the eeriest
>>733771610i will never understand thiswhenever you fucks post about this liminal spaces shit I just think thats the comfiest thing everIt reminds me of the late 90s when I was in a resort and there were almost no people there in the morning because it was off season so it looked like these and it was the best thing everon that note, these never ending wheat field open space things you find scary are super comfy toozoomers have brain damage
i always feel like i am inbetween two camps who act retarded on purpose when it comes to liminal space horrorlike i understand the appeal of the unknown but won't go completely batshit crazy over itzoomers:>AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE is is that an... EMPTY POOL with nobody around HELP ME NIGGERMAN i'm going INSANE I DONT WANNA DIEEEEE>sits in an empty room crying and shitting for hours unable to moveboomers:>kids these days nothing you can't fix with a firm handshake>walks straight into some 4th dimensional entity that flays you aliveit's all just one side pretending tonfreak out too much vs the other side being "hurr it's just a bideo gaym" not even attempting to get immersed
>>733771610>This game will literally make your pants the shitty pants>CLICK HERE to find out more!!/v/ is fucking dead
>>733773796>>walks straight into some 4th dimensional entity that flays you aliveBro, it's a pool.
>>733773550if you can't find any scariness in the fact that you're stuck in an abstract empty unknown place you have the brain damage
>>733773918No it means he's not a big quivering vagina like you
they aren't scary at all, that's the problem. I remember playing one such game with my friends and the lurking menace just pushed me over and ran away- Could've at least eaten me whole or something
>>733771610Super Mario 64
>>733773986You would be quivering vagina in that situation but you don't have the ability to imagine yourself in that place because you're low iq
>>733773986>kids these days>nothing a firm handshake can't fix>wooooooow how could i know there is an enemy atalking me predator style this is bullshiiiiit the game menue didn't tell me!i agree with that guy, genuine braindamageyou are the type of person to go hiking alone in the woods and then end up just being another case on a tv show about unsolved cases until some hobo finds your bones inside a boar's stomach a decade later
>>733773918There is NOTHING scary about this
>>733774348I'd be in complete distraught at the idea of not having /v/.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc0wxYXDLSsLiminal spaces were designed to mentally scar this generation
>>733771610none, I'm not a defective zoomer that's scared of being out in nature and shit
>>733774551Liminal space is the opposite of nature you retard
>>733774346This nigga here scared of hikingI'm losing it
>>733774214>NOOO DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE IN THIS NONTHREATENING QUIET ROOM I CANT TAKE ITYou sound so sheltered it's genuinely sad. I'd love to kill you and put you out of your misery so you don't have to walk through life dry heaving and having panic attacks at the slightest conflict.
Zoomers being alone for 12 seconds:>AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH SAVE ME NIGGERMAN I'M GOING INSANE
>>733774214It's a fucking pool?? what are you talking about you stupid zoomer faggot. Genuinely what is scary or even slightly intimidating about picrel
>>733774664>NONTHREATENINGThanks for proving me right
>No pe*ple>Comfy pool or some malluhh where scary things?
>>733771610Just break a window and leave, dumb zoomer
>>733773419Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>>733774214>you would be a quivering vagina if you had a pool all to yourself
Remedy games have always been good with them.Alan Wake 2 used kts pretty effectively. Control aswell. But even all the way back in the Max Payne games were some places that qualify. You can tell Sam Lake likes his Lynch.>>733774587No, I think you can have natural places that feel liminal.
I know this is the designated shitpost thread where everyone goes on and on about how their taste is superior cause they don't like a trend from like 6 years ago but I want to actually talk about something.I feel like games marketing themselves as liminal, even going past the fact most are lazy griftjobs, can't be really scary cause they're too safe and curated. You know everything in it was designed to be kinda spooky. It can't surprise you.I get my fill of that sense of wanderlust and discovery from exploring old maps for source engine games cause you really don't know what the fuck you're gonna get.
>>733774768>ESL retard doesn't understand what nonthreatening meansShould have known I've been arguing with an Indian this entire time. Considering you had your asshole repeatedly tongue punched by sir uncle as a kid, I know understand why small quiet rooms intimidate you so much.
>>733771610Oh hey, it's the Voices of the Void tutorial
>>733774981I have no clue if it's still active, but I think youngniggers who like liminal stuff would really enjoy exploring Worlds. It's an old MMO that had exactly the kind of feeling you're talking about.
>>733774981>cause they don't like a trend from like 6 years agono, we're mocking liminalfags for being pretentious cunts>It can't surprise youyou didn't need all those words to repeat what others have said>source engine games cool>pic>lainfagyou're as bad as the liminalfags btw
>>7337747571) abstract and eerie empty architecture that doesn't make sense, slightly unnerving2) you're stuck in that otherworldly void, you're not in the real world, you could die from starvation3) + fear of unknownif this combo wouldn't make you slightly spooked you are a retard with no survival instincts
>>733775149>survival instinctsHope you have your survival instincts when I find your house and strangle you, fucking fairy
It's supposed to recreate that dread you had as a small child wandering empty places that felt larger than they were to a small mind and prompted you to imagine things that weren't there.Like a town under thick mist or a street in darkness lightened up by occasional lamposs.I don't get the hate on liminal horror from people of my generation, we had the same fear of those spaces as kids. We had media portraying those fears like The Mist, Earthbound, Silent Hill on the top of my head. Of course as fully grown adults we stopped being scared by such things in real life. We don't run in the corridor after turning off the light to evade the monsters. And it is true that the games attempting to recreate that fear tend to failBut the desire to experience that fear again isn't to be mocked.
I guess Forsaken Frontiers was kinda ok, for a extraction loot slop. But then, it kinda fails as muh liminal since it has monsters in it (and shit AI on top of that)
>>733774596t. obese nigger who didn't leave his mom's basement since graduating highschool 20 years ago
>>733775087Anon, firstly, you need to change your mindset. There's no 'we' and there's no 'liminalfags'And you've got nothing to gain from policing what people like either.It's just a genre of horror. What do you like? Slashers? Religious themed shit? It's all slop. Horror has always been the sloppiest genre. It's got the lowest barrier of entry and the highest chance to make it big. Half of the big hollywood directors made it big with shlocky 70's slashers and basically all writers in the past 200 years payed the bills writing for some shitty horror periodical. Horror is the one genre you can't be pretentious about cause the whole point is making you piss your peepee pants.
>>733775261>THERE IS NOTHING SCARY OUT THERE YOU NIGGER>I WILL PROVE IT TO YOU BY THREATENING TO MURDER YOU LIKE A FENTANYL NIGGER THAT ROAMS THE FORESTS AT 3 AMit's honestly hilarious how obliviously brown and retarded you are, post hands please
>>733775261Yep, you're low IQ
>>733771610Just played this and its gonna be one of the most liminal spaces I have ever seen. You can't call this walking simulator, its more like uncanny art gallery. I would like to donate more money to the dev. Kudos
>>733775538Scaredof Hiking
>>733775469the problem is that the idea of those spaces inducing an ambient sense of dread was immediately shat on by an avalanche of content filling those environments with the peepeepoopoo monster and spoopy box #2345123 ahhh just like in my e-boyfriend's video essay D: by "people" who are physiologically incapable of understanding the initial point at all.
>>733775803t. another statistic rotting in the woodsat least nobody will miss you
>>733774757>what is scary or even slightly intimidating about picrelIt's a warm summer day and you're making your way to a nearby supermarket.But you suddenly realize you made a wrong turn and ended up in an unfamiliar alley.You turn around to make your way back and everything goes dark for just a split second.Your surroundings have changed. It's not the tiled floors, walls and ceiling that you notice first, but it's the smell.The sharp smell of chlorine shocks you from your stupor as you start to panic.Where am I? What happened? Did someone kidnap me? Was I drugged? A sudden solar eclipse? Alzheimer's?No, you don't feel sleepy or fatigued. If anything, you feel just the way you did when you were back in that alley.It takes some time for you to gather yourself, as you decide to explore the only path forward.It only took a few hours for you to stop shouting if anyone's around.The strange twists and turns of this place makes it hard for anyone but yourself to hear your voice.You stop and sit down next to one of the numerous pools you've encountered so far.You feel thirsty, but the only water around is heavily chlorinated; not something you'd want to drink.Then you notice.This pool is different.How did you manage to miss all those swimming rings floating gently on top of the pool's water?You jump back up and hastily make your way deeper into the complex.It's been about a day, you think. The thirst is unbearable.All the new pools you've encountered have swimming rings in them now.And every series of rooms connecting each one has been the exact same every since the first one you encountered.You broke some of the standing lamps to see if you were looping, but the next ones were perfectly fine.How long will you be able to continue like this? What if you don't make it out? What if the exit is all way back at the start?The standing lamps in the distance taunt you. You feel like you're going insane.
>>733771610The fuck is wrong with zoomers? Are they afraid of sterile office spaces because they spent a lot of time at the school psychologist and doctors?
>>733776308>liminal is scary because it's like a desert basically
>>733771610The fact that most "liminal horror" has some stupid muppet chasing you around corridors is the greatest evidence for how stupid it is.The whole point is that there's no one around, but thats not scary so they have to add a generic monster and chase sequencesI'll admit I haven't looked much into it, but the moment you add creatures or sentient anything it falls apart.....but you cant make streamerbait without it so there you go
>>733776308don't bothersub 95 iq retards unironically lack the ability to imagine scenarios let alone think 30 minutes ahead into the futurethey live in the present, if everything is alright now, then everything will be alright later, until it isn't, but that's none of their concernliteral niggers
>>733772219Their sphincters broken by yet another of their whore mother's partners. They fucked their moms, later them and left. This is the end result of women divorcing and always getting the custody, just to keep fucking guys they don't know, except that they're hot with a criminal past.
>>733776427That game doesn't have anything like that. In fact I've never seen any 'monsters' in liminal stuff save for fandom pages written by autistic 13 year olds but you can't blame everything on them. That's like not liking Heat cause fujos draw pacino and deniro making out.
Things zoomies are apparently afraid of:PoolsFieldsHikingBeing alone for 2 minutesGoing to the supermarket
>>733776447>it's le survival situation!So why does it have to be tiled walls and not you being trapped in a cave or something?>.... FUCKING NIGGERS
>>733775149>2) you're stuck in that otherworldly void, you're not in the real world, you could die from starvationOh please, that's like being scared that Guile or Gordon Freeman might die of starvation.
>buildings are scary>outside is scary
>>733776649>supermarketMall, anon. You know, the mythical ruins.
>>733776723kek zoomers are hopeless
>>733774713>being aloneYes, this is scary for a lot of people.
>>733776723LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>733773796The concept of infinite liminal spaces was in the beginning scary because it was supposed to be a place you find yourself suddenly, like waking up already inside or taking an elevator that goes there (glitch in spacetime), finding out the elevator is now gone/not working and you're trying to find an exit in a seemingly endless space with also no food in sight (there might be water machines or water filled rooms). But that's all. No entities. Nobody else. No traces of anyone ever being there. Just you, an unknown place that shouldn't exist - it's familiar yet impossible at the same time. That was the whole point.It suffered the same fate as SCP later on - trannies and underages always destroy things even that they initially like.
>>733776836Oh so it's born from corona paranoia because zoomies had to stay inside and alone for 2 weekends in a row
>>733776723I'd make fun of this but I' had the opposite thing when I was a kid. I grew up in the countryside and I remember getting a panic attack when I went to Hamburg with my parents for a few days as a teen. Disclaimer, I have Asperger's.
>>733776658being stuck in a cave is scary too
>>733776836so it is just a gay version of being stranded on an island?
>>733776910No, they're literally afraid of tiled hallways. This "omg it's just le survival" is them desperately trying to make it sound less retarded
>>733776879people with mental disorders are often bad around tons of people like in densely packed mallsthats not some weird zoomer meme thats well documented
>>733776910If gay means abstract and otherworldly, yes
>kids are genuinely terrified of being alone in someplace in perfect silence without anyone bothering them or blasting nigger music>kids are scared of hiking>kids will write entire fucking essays like >>733776308that loudly and openly tell you how you're supposed to feel but it's just the equal of telling someone "Imagine if you got lost in the middle of the desert" for 30 full minutesLmao
>>733771610there's nothing scary about being bored.
>>733777061Is basically what happens when you take away the ipads they grew up with.
>>733777061>Imagine if you got lost in the middle of the desertThat's scary
>>733777061>three paragraphs of text>an "entire fucking" essayI'd call you brown, but I feel that would be insulting those who are actually brown.
boomers have zero selfpreservation instincts, born and raised in 99.99% white neighborhoods, never even seen a fentanyl nigger in the wild that will jump you for no aparent reasonliterally like a w*man who goes solo travelling to shitplaces like india then wondering why she got kidnapped and raped
>>733777780Congratulations on growing up in nigger slums. Glad you are so proud of it
>>733774214Mommy was leaving you alone often, as she went out on a prowl for cock and perhaps a cuckold Better Man ersatz daddy for you, huh?
>>733777903armchair psychologist here, surely if his mom did that he'd be used to being alone and not scared of it
>>733777514Well yes. It's all these paragraphs of text just to overcomplicate the same kind of situation as "you got lost in a jungle" while underlining how you're supposed to feel.Nice safe racism btw.>>733777780I didn't grow up in Muttland. So no, most of your scenarios are not "scary" to me.
>>733778062>safe racismWhat kind of unholy tourist language is this? Fuck off, nigger.
>>733778132Calling someone "brown" or "indian" has become pretty "acceptable" in normalfag circles when they get upset. But racism against blacks is still a big no-no.
God I wish I could find an indoor pool to swim in because it's now too cold to swim.
>>733774713Alone and in silence. They're afraid of silence, as ever since they remember there was a talking screen right in front of them. No wonder "ADHD" is normal in that generation as they constantly strive to be flooded with useless information, just to drown any and all remainders of their internal voice (thinking). These are the retards who have different things playing on screens, different on headphones or speakers. That shows later on when they claim to have played this or watched that and you realize they don't remember most of what they have seen, or remember a mix-up of signals. Silence scares them, liminal spaces are all about that. Yet, they can't imagine true silence, so they insert some retarded Cold Steel-type OC into these settings.
>>733775910>t. believes he'll instantly die after leaving his basement I think you're the one with problems, m8.
>Imagine if you got stranded in a foreign country with no phone, no documents and no knowledge of the languageSimple, to the point and gets the message across>Okay imagine if you're at KFC... and it's really big... and it's all very quiet and empty, with no niggers in sight... and I KNOW this may sound good to you but um... you can't leave! At all! Because everywhere you go there's more KFC! And there's also a scary liminal cosmic existencial analog horror SC- erm, creature that will put chicken wings up your asshole when it catches you! Unless you came there from the infinite Burger King world, in which case it will just kill you! And if you EAT the chicken wings you become a liminal analog existential horror Colonel Sanders!!!retarded
>>733776723The agender part really completes the whole thing nicely, it's the kind of retardation I expect from a basically experimental animal seeing what real world looks outside of their little bubble for the first time.
>>733778591>Okay imagine if you're at a KFC... but it's actually a KGC!!!!!!!Better?
>>733771610What the fuck is liminal about a fucking poolPools have a specific purpose, it's the opposite of liminal
>>733777861>>733778062>not my problem!peak boomer brainrotyou will have your skull bashed in by some refugee nigger in an elderly care home soon enough, then it will be your problem, but alas you lack the foresight to even manifest thoughts and worries like this
>>733778591>Simple, to the point and gets the message acrossAnd it's also completely wrong, as it ignores the claustrophobia and loneliness aspect.
>>733777964Then, perhaps he was left alone... with his current "uncle" of the week that then set straight his intestines by filling them out.
>>733778814Do you often have these murder fantasies?
>>733778591Trying to be spoopy mode in an area with theoretically infinite food and water is silly, that's why its done in an Ikea.Or that one SCP that expands the area inside a building and then starts duplicating rooms
>>733778731>Okay, imagine you're stuck at KFC... but it's actually BBC! Even better.
>>733773550There's nothing quite as exhilarating as knowing you're the only person inside a large empty building. You can go whereever you want, do whatever you want. I don't understand why so many find the concept scary.
As an idea, backrooms situation is pretty spooky to end up in IRL. Unknown dimension, zero idea if there's way out (besides suicide), no food, no water absolutely no fucking idea if there's no killy things.As a video game, there's just too much degrees of separation between you and situation for it to be "scary". So, some people decided to throw in cliche crap like Chuck E. Cheeses with hyperrealistic blood to chase people around, or making everything there dark as shit, or 200db noises or jumpscares. Other people, like game in the OP, just made a bunch of mazes using the vibes so other people can just walk around and vibe, too.I don't really think there's anything wrong with either approach, since both are just trying to do something with a dud that doesn't work by itself in videogame medium. What I find wrong, however, is pretending to be/being retarded about the backrooms idea and trying to frame it as being afraid of space itself (pools, office rooms in example) in a vacuum.
Everybody goons about "scary" liminal games.But what about fun ones?This game spiked my autism, 100%'d it in 7 hours. Honestly wish it was longer.
>>733771610>>733778794In fact I just looked up that tumblr post that started this all and people are clearly conflating two thingsIt was a post about places that feel weird, with a list of examples. The response was basically this:>SOME of these feel weird because they are liminal spaces - spaces that exist only as an in-between for other spaces>The REST of the list feels weird because they are stripped of their usual context, like a school after hoursThis game is clearly the latter but something got lost here in the retelling
>>733779026Why do corridors feel weird
>>733779062He just said why. Because they're liminal spaces.
>>733778865Okay. Here you go then.>The Nutty Putty Cave
>>733779062Corridors are, in fact, liminal spaces - they're there to get you from one place to the next. They're not intended for you to stay in, but to pass through.
>>733778974>No option to join/fuck Ms. Rainbow>No option to engage her in chainsaw duel5/10
It's crazy that so many retards think that the backrooms are supposed to be scary because they have pools and not because it's an infinite nonsensical parallel dimension in which you are stuck with no means of returning.Is this so hard so understand?
>>733779082>>733779128>corridors feel weird cause they're corridors??? that's what they're for
>>733778890facts and real problems aren't murder fantasies you mouthbreathing nigger
>>733779150Yes, and when there's just corridors with no rooms to go to, your mind recognizes there's something wrong.
>>733779150I didn't come up with this shit.
>>733779148That's interesting, not scary.Being dropped in the middle of a desert? Scary, you know you are dead, and it's both uninteresting and boring.Suddenly dropped in some comfy otherworldly space? Activates the adventure and explorer neurons. Dying while exploring unknown lands is unironically a kino way to kick the bucket.
>>733778484i think you should keep your fanfics about others to yourself you redditspacing nigger
>>733771707>The complex: found footageVery short but it's the closest to the original backrooms post, it's practically a walking sim but that was the original idea, kind of like getting lost in the desert.
>>733779148You vastly overestimate the amount of people who understand the concepts of "infinity", "parallel" and "dimensions".
Boomers don't understand because they never had swimming pools
>>733771610>Lack of constant audiovisual stimulation confuses and terrifies zoomers.
>>733779148Zoomers seem to think it’s just another place to get chased around in by faggy Five Nights at Freddy’s knockoff monsters.
Are you saying this is a place where there's not constantly loud yelling joggers around me? AAAIIIIIIIIEEEEE BUT THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE
Scary
>>733781856DLSS is scary indeed
I never got into liminal horror, but I do really like the dreamlike aesthetic.
>>733782047King of Autism
>>733779417This, there's probably a torrent by now too.
>>733779417>no entitiesthere is one though
>>733782047I don't think it's DLSS, I don't really know what it is, but I'll just assume it has something to do with multiple light sources being fucky in there
>>733773918>abstractoh my god, a completely normal building but it's empty. fucking pinnacle of avant garde.
>>733778949As has been said many many times the horror doesn't come from being alone in an empty building, it comes from being alone in a space that your mind knows something is very wrong with, and the slow realization that you're trapped in it with little to no hope of escape and no means of sustenanceThe Backrooms (the original version) is basically a posh version of the Paris Catacombs except there are no exits to the surface.
>>733776981Yes gay and retarded.
>>733781728Normal people don't like to be alone. Humans are flock animals.
>>733782595>Paris Catacombs LE TRAVELLER US BONEZ R WAITIN FOR URS LMAO
>>733782595Real horror is the realization people like you are allowed to vote
>>733773796reasonable people are generally quiet
>>733784565That doesn’t mean we thrive on constantly having people and noises shoved in our faces.Anyway, humans are not a monolith, there is a whole variety of temperaments and preferences. There are a ton of people out there who find the simple act of going grocery shopping to be unpleasant and stress-inducing.
>>733771610I'm a zoomer and that unironically looks comfy to me
>>733779148They don't know how they'd feel if they didn't have breakfast this morning and can't imagine an apple.
>>733774214>projecting you limp dick fear onto otherskek
How to get over my fear of liminal spaces?
AYEEEEEEEEE I-IS THAT A P-P-P-POO-POOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>733785290I can't understand that. How hard is it to walk to the corner store and pick up a carton of milk? You don't even have to talk to the cashier, just give them your money and take the change.
>comfyThat's the first word that comes to my mind as well. These often look like they'd be fun to explore. I fucking love clear water.
>>733773269Marble hornets is closer to 20 years old than 10. It's time to let it go, old man.
>>733788878A drawing of what?
>>733782460AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Unironically are there any walking sims like this played straight without the monsters?Makes me think of how I imagined some areas in Yume Nikki would look in 3D.
>>733790287Yep
>>733771610I'm too scared to play those but I like Backrooms (or other rooms) videos on YouTube where I can squint my eyes if it gets too scary
