Another Sight vs Superliminal
Another Sight
Another Sight is an intriguing, story-driven puzzle/adventure game that has a very Alice-in-the-Wonderland-esque vibe to it. In this game, you play as both Kit and her newfound feline companion, switching between them as you attempt to solve puzzles, unlock the next chapter, and eventually, help Kit escape from the bizarre underground world she fell into. The game features some pretty unique game mechanisms including cooperative play in a single player game, much like Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, as well as the concept of being able to visualize sound and incorporate that into its gameplay.In a nutshell, Another Sight is a brilliant adventure game that not only showcased some pretty unique and innovative game mechanisms, but also a fantastic storyline that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Couple all of that with amazing graphics and realistic sounds, and you’ll get a truly immersive Alice-in-the-Wonderland-like adventure. Interested to give the game a try? You can buy Another Sight on Steam.
Superliminal
Superliminal is designed to challenge even the most avid of puzzle solvers, providing them with mind-boggling puzzles, the unique ability to change the size of objects based on depth in perception, and a story filled with heart.The game starts off with you dozing off at the couch in front of a TV showing a weird commercial about some dream therapy program that promptly landed you in a weird dream-like state in which you find yourself the subject of an odd scientific experiment. Thankfully, unlike the more surgical kind of experimentation which would definitely turn the game into a horror show, the scientist behind this experiment is more concerned about testing your mind and its ability to perceive, pushing it to its very limits.
Superliminal offers a nice variety of perspective-based puzzles for you to solve as you move from room to room in what seems to be a vast yet empty scientific complex. The puzzles here start off easy enough since the game does have to do its job of introducing the mechanics to you. The mechanics here mostly involve finding objects that you can manipulate (a.k.a. resize and reposition) and then use in the puzzle’s solution in order to move on to the next “level” or room.
Once you got a hold of the basics, the difficulty of the puzzles starts to ramp up and at times, you might find yourself completely at loss as to what you should do, as I did… and I’m ashamed to say pretty early on in the game. When the game says that “what you see isn’t always what you get”, it’s not kidding.
Superliminal is one of those rare, trippy puzzle games that either you get it or you don’t. Puzzle enthusiasts might find the game more than intriguing to take a crack at due to its unique perspective-based puzzles. The game may be short but the experience it leaves you is unforgettable!
