How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Superliminal
Perspective puzzles inside a dream: pick up an object and drop it far away and it becomes giant; bring it close and it turns tiny. Each level bends the rules of perception. Short, surprising and easy to enjoy.
