About Liminal Shroud
Liminal Shroud is a first‑person psychological horror adventure that forgoes combat in favor of atmosphere. Hand‑crafted, surreal spaces echo 1970s‑80s analog horror, while a dark presence silently observes your movements.
Exploration drives the experience: visual puzzles, hidden routes, and story fragments unfold without timers, enemies, or extensive text. The game autosaves per chapter and offers fully remappable controls, letting you progress at your own pace.
