Deemo vs Superliminal
Deemo
Deemo is a unique music rhythm game that doesn't only feature a gameplay which rewards carefully-timed taps; it also features a rich and heartwarming story about a mystical character, the Deemo, who has unwittingly found joy in having a companion, a little, amnesiac girl who fell from the sky, and yet realized that it will eventually have to let her go back to her own world. Despite being a creature of sorts, its struggles are oddly human and hence, it makes the game so much more relatable to so many.Aside from having brilliantly hand-drawn art to illustrate the storytelling, the game also has amazing gameplay that's simple enough to learn and intuitive enough to grasp quickly. The game contains over 220 songs of varying genres from all over the world too. In fact, from the story mode alone, you can enjoy more than 60 of its best songs for free.
Deemo is one of Rayark Games' most iconic, if not, best creations. The company manages to blend the fun of an action rhythm game with epic storytelling, resulting in a game that's unlike any other. If you appreciate a good story and enjoys rhythm games, you'll want to try Deemo.
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!
