They're shown in the trailer.

i hope they don't focus too much on the entities if at all, but rather focus first and foremost on the environment and atmosphere. that's what makes a game about liminal spaces about liminal spaces :) monsters don't make liminal spaces scary liminal spaces are what make liminal spaces scary

Almost.

Imagine they have a peaceful mode, but you still hear the tense music. Imagine they have a peaceful mode, but it doesn't change anything.

@@theeredshadow6031 if it did it would be pushed back by like a year

If it was done well, varied enough and not trying to show you everything as quickly as possible, I could get lost in that forever. It would be sick if someone could make something like that IRL, I think it would be a hit. Maybe take an abandoned office building to make it large enough for repeat visits and rearrange/add new things every so often.

Cory has to play this bruh

I think u right but not too many skrimers, moderately - here is ideal in my opinion

The problem with a game like that, though, is where is the threat or sense of urgency? Is there level progression instead? Do you need to solve a mystery or solve puzzles? Where is the "game" part of the game? Otherwise, it's just a walking simulator.

The Complex is a really good backrooms game with no monsters. It's free on steam there's a second called 'The Complex Expedition' that cost money but has more content, I think it's worth it.

I would like that too but to me, it would turn it to the feeling of walking in an empty FPS multiplayer map. First chills, then boredom

@@cable7763 True, "future of gaming" is a load of bullshit but this game looks way more promising than any other backrooms/liminal space themed games I've seen.

Ain't no way bro 💀

They had to show not one but two monsters. I feel like mainstream audiences just can't grasp the horror without some "creepy" monster running around all the time.

if the game has no monsters, you'd know just like you now know it does, no threat at all = no fear

@@Medieval_Productions nah you dont understand bruh the fear of not knowing if your alone could have fit in this game

@@joshuamf5985 But you do know. If the game has no monsters, you will know that the game has no monsters, and it will not be scary. Also, regarding OP directly, liminality has nothing to do with monsters because to begin with it has nothing to do with Horror. It's just that it has been used in Horror frequently in the past few years.

I agree, it's the same effect as when I was a kid and hunting for Bigfoot in San Andreas, I always psyched myself out thinking he could pop out at any moment, in reality they were just mods and I would never actually find him. Same idea with Herobrine.

Look up videos for UE5. IGN has some one the 5.1 and 5.2 updates for Unreal Engine you might be interested in It's basically doing all of this for the game

Unreal engine 5 basically creates hyperrealistic worlds. Wouldn’t be surprised if they used UE5, but there’s not a lot of grass, or trees etc. that require an engine as advanced as UE5. Great question though.

Thank you so much❤

@@OfficialSubliminal If you don't mind me asking how much will the game cost?

@@Dan-F5050 You don't need trees and grass to justify the use of UE5.

Seriously. The only games I’ve ever seen that really get the concept behind liminal spaces and execute it well are Superliminal and that one part in Control.

Which part in control?@@l.ronhoyabembe5532

​@@l.ronhoyabembe5532What part in Control if I may ask. I wonder. Btw. you can try also SCP Containment Breach however there are entities.

This and UNRECORD might be the most anticipated gaming projects out there in a while, just because people have thrived for some realism and have finally got something

There’s already one called “Unrecord”

These usually are just engine demos notice the minimal game play

For real did they use a Quadro RTX 8000 to render this?? No wonder GPU prices are so high, these devs were using them all for their trailer

@@Siumon1 I doubt this fidelity will be console ready.

UE5, which is the engine for this game, runs on console@@JBreaz

@@JBreaz The creator said it would be on console

FRRR and the little details too like how when the light switch turns on, the room is really bright before darkening a bit, which is something that actually happens

Agreed, I'm loving the rise in games like this. Hopefully it doesn't become the norm but I definitely would love to see more of this.

Theyre most common made using LiDAR 3d scanning so most of the textures and environments actually are real places that are being project in CG software.

@@JustapErson I personally wouldn’t mind if this became the norm for a while, i feel like now a days most horror games are trying way to hard to be like FNAF, or Outlast, to much occult stuff or stuffing kids or people into something. I just want some genuine scares that look a little too real, kinda like that P.T game a few years back (this also is giving me very backrooms vibes and alot of them never really meet up to the level i want which is so this game)

Probably more digital horror

This looks a little more surreal in the style of horror than found tapes. If you rewatch the opening in game stuff, the objects move around the room when the character looks away but it’s subtle enough that it’s hard to even notice.

The next step how?

This "game" isn't really the next step, it's Unreal Engine 5. Which this game is built with. Most of these assets are essentially stock UE5 environmental assets. Mark my words over the next year this style of game will become a dime a dozen, this dev was just one of the first ones to get one out the door because UE5 is a very new engine. But yes, the graphics are insane. UE5 is one of the craziest engine upgrades to come to gaming in a very long time.

"Hey kiddos, look at this game from 2023 called "subliminal". Now, don't laugh but we used to think this looked realistic."

@@lagiacrus1180I doubt that will happen. We’re reaching a point where there’s not much room for improvement in graphics.

Well, Unreal Engine offers realistic graphics even before beginning making the actual game.

This is what Phasmophobia needs imo - the camera is a flat line and all the animations are not very believable

@@AlienKidAnimations Phasmophobia isn't meant to be realistic.

"oh no an empty room I'm so terrified" where did civilization go wrong, I wonder

There might be something wrong with your brain then. The fear of places that feel "off" is shared by the vast majority of people. If you want to analyse deeper, that "off" feeling likely comes from the fact that we are social beings and being lost on your own often means death for you. The primary aspect of liminal spaces is that they are transitional, they aren't places you would typically linger. Being stuck in such a reality bending place without any other life around you is the part that's scary. It's like being condemned in limbo. If you were trapped in a maze of endless rooms and strange architecture, the fear and panic would drive you to madness. By all logic, it should frighten you, so if it doesn't, then maybe you lack imagination. @@isodoublet

@@laeioun "There might be something wrong with your brain then. " Because I'm not afraid of an empty room? Get help.

While I agree it is by far the most realistic looking game I've ever seen, it still has the perfect amount of uncanny valley in it. Like it's so close, but something is wrong, and I don't like it. Which makes me like it lol

​@@woofspider330 I agree, the uncanniness feels right for this type of game

I honestly was searching for the uncanny offputting slight differences, but I can't. It looks like legit high quality filmed environments... The characters look completely out of place, but the environments are legit.

ironic because the only thing that looks fake are the actual plastic parts towards the end the video

Play Backrooms: The Lost Tape, if you want another game that feels realistic

It’s procedurally generated so there’s a good chance that the replayability is high

@@bowenjudd1028 It depends because that term can be slightly deceptive in gaming.

Agreed

It's not coming out.. people where scammed for only hypeing and giving money to the developers.. Google it

​@@Anarki187it is coming out just a bit delayed, also how can you give them money if game isn't out yet, what are you saying lol, try to use a brain and think how much effort this graphics require, and that putting up a steam page literally costs a lot of money

@@L0g0Z0g0Patreon. They get thousands a month. Kickstarter exists too. And no, it does not cost a lot of money to submit a product to Steam. They've been 'delaying' the game for four years, and the videos dubbed gameplay have been proven to be pre-renders by several experts, a simple Google will reveal all of this information. Believe against hope if you want, but its laid out for you regardless.

The fucking shoe is what gets me. That 1 detail convinced me it was real.

The anti-aliasing issue across the edges of the table made me realize that it was gameplay, but the rest of the shots inside that room had no issues at all. If you were to screenshot that moment before and after the light switch, I'd have no idea if it was real life or videogame at first glance.

Have you seen the trailer for Unrecord

When I saw that I was like NO THANK YOU crazy lol

Its called analog horror.

@@Vengeance4205 💛💚🧡❤💙

Gives me Control vibes.

If you love that vibe as horror, go listen to caretakers. I promise you after that there's nothing that can scare you that much.

Heh. The PSA reminded me of the local ad voice-over in this recent short by Michael Spicer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbRpbMyasNKcfKM.htmlsi=MR_v45pCxfxUKqzu. More comedy than horror, watching it on KZfaq, but just imagine staying at a local motel in a remote village and catching that on the TV at 2 a.m.

first person is now called realistic approach? huh

@@petrkdn8224 he meant the graphics not the first person view

@hellamachines textures and model quality has always been good, the only "new" thing is actual attempt at colour correction. I play with nvidia filters on most games where I fix all games oversaturation, and they always look super realistic like Unrecord. All games nowadays have way too much contrast and just look bad. Unrecord and this game isn't anything new really, it's just putting more than 1 braincell into colour correction

@@petrkdn8224 laughed a lot, thanks

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@petrkdn8224 Most games aren't trying to be super-realistic, and it would be to the detriment of most games's art styles to attempt such. A bit of stylization is integral to making a game stand out and age better. Games have the benefit of not being real life, so they can take creative liberties with things such as lighting and color balance to better suit the tone of the scene (and more importantly, the gameplay). I personally don't see the appeal in hyper-realism in games; it's a novelty at best. I want graphics to look interesting and memorable, not realistic. Why have graphics comparable to real life when you can have graphics more interesting than real life? The limits to graphics in real life are defined by the laws of physics, but the limit of graphics of games are only restrained by how creatively you can manipulate the output of the GPU. There's a reason Borderlands and Wind Waker settled on the art styles they did; a interesting art style is memorable, but a realistic art style is forgettable (anyone remember Black?).

Currently working on a game like it. It's still going to keep you guessing if something else is there with you or not but a monster will only exist if your playing with others.

Congratulations, you understood the entire point of that scene

Thank you so much❤
