Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Jul 24 → 1/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Fantastic! Many things to find and interesting areas to explore. Love it! Except platforming. Nope. Can do without that.
The perfect balance of eerie atmosphere and gorgeous scenery with the ability to jump and toss objects into the pools. I've played several similar games and this one is by far my favorite.
would be better with controller support

LIMINAL WATERS is an atmospheric exploration game developed by DK Productions and Silent Snake, with publishing handled by DK Productions. Rather than focusing on traditional horror mechanics or action-driven gameplay, it delivers a slow, immersive experience centered on wandering through unsettling yet strangely peaceful environments inspired by the concept of liminal spaces. Its design encourages players to appreciate the atmosphere, absorb environmental details, and uncover the mystery of interconnected poolrooms without relying on combat, extensive puzzles, or heavy narrative exposition. This minimalist philosophy allows the game's haunting setting to become the true centerpiece of the experience. The game's visual presentation is easily its strongest feature. Built with Unreal Engine 5.6, every environment showcases impressive lighting, realistic water reflections, and carefully constructed architecture that creates a convincing sense of isolation. The endless pools, dimly lit corridors, and surreal interiors successfully capture the dreamlike quality that fans of liminal aesthetics have come to appreciate. Each new location introduces subtle visual variations, preventing the scenery from becoming repetitive despite maintaining a consistent theme throughout the adventure. The handcrafted level design demonstrates considerable attention to detail, rewarding players who take the time to observe their surroundings instead of rushing toward the next objective. Sound design is equally important in maintaining the game's distinctive atmosphere. Rather than relying on loud jump scares or constant threats, LIMINAL WATERS uses echoes, distant water sounds, soft ambient effects, and carefully timed environmental audio to create a lingering sense of unease. Silence often becomes just as effective as music, allowing the imagination to fill in the gaps and making every empty hallway feel significant. The restrained audio direction complements the visual design perfectly, resulting in an experience that feels both calming and unsettling at the same time. Players who enjoy psychological horror driven by mood rather than confrontation will likely appreciate this subtle approach. Gameplay remains intentionally simple from beginning to end. Exploration serves as the primary mechanic, with players gradually moving through interconnected environments while searching for the path forward. There are no elaborate progression systems or complex gameplay loops demanding constant attention. Instead, the game trusts its environments to keep players engaged through curiosity alone. This design choice makes LIMINAL WATERS highly accessible, though it also means players looking for action, difficult puzzles, or meaningful character progression may find the experience lacking. Its relatively short runtime of around three hours reinforces the idea that it is meant to be a focused atmospheric journey rather than a lengthy adventure. From a technical standpoint, the game delivers polished visuals but requires capable hardware to fully appreciate its graphical fidelity. The advanced rendering features contribute significantly to the immersive presentation, though they naturally demand a modern gaming PC. Controller support offers additional flexibility, making exploration comfortable regardless of preferred control method. Despite its modest length, the consistently high production values prevent the adventure from feeling incomplete, as each environment appears thoughtfully designed rather than procedurally assembled. LIMINAL WATERS succeeds by remaining committed to its artistic vision instead of trying to satisfy every type of player. It creates an experience where atmosphere takes precedence over traditional gameplay systems, allowing environmental storytelling, visual craftsmanship, and subtle sound design to leave the strongest impression. Those seeking an action-packed horror title or mechanically demanding adventure may find its deliberate pacing too quiet, but players fascinated by surreal architecture, dreamlike locations, and immersive exploration will likely find plenty to appreciate. It stands as a confident example of how environmental design alone can evoke curiosity, tension, and wonder without relying on conventional horror tropes. Rating: 8/10
This is it we have peaked this is the ultimate walking simulator When i had originally started playing i had thought that this was an absolute flight of fancy of colors and architecture i have never seen the pool rooms feel so alive then i had gone on and on thinking man this is alot longer than i had expected then when i had finally made it to the pyramid i was intrigued bu the use of mythological symbols then i had realized that man the pool rooms was just the beginning genuinely if this comment sparks your fancy just play it you will not regret it this may be the best game ive ever played then i had gone on and on thinking man this is alot longer than i had expected then when i had finally made it to the pyramid i was intrigued bu the use of mythological symbols then i had realized that man the pool rooms was just the beginning genuinely if this comment sparks your fancy just play it you will not regret it this may be the best game ive ever played
I love surfing
good old classic poolrooms game. Nice atmospheric noise and designs, especially in level one. Will eventually need a settings section to adjust graphics and such but so far well done.
Искал обычный симулятор ходьбы что бы расслабится после рабочего дня. По итогу сразу же расслабляющая музыка кончилась, включились крики и я нашел утку в крови. Почему у этой игры еще нет тега "хоррор" ? Типо... Что за хрень? Я прям сильно разочаровался.
SI, SI, y SI. Este juego de los Backrooms es simplemente perfecto. Y deberías jugarlo si eres fan de este Lore. Te explico porqué: PROS: - Gráficos: Una maravilla visual, se ve todo en muy buena calidad y detalle. -Entornos y mapas: Los escenarios y los mapas son simplemente ENORMES. Muy cuidados al detalle, dando la sensación de que eres diminuto en comparación. -Música y sonidos: La música ambiental y los sonidos que se escuchan mientras juegas te relajan y estresan al mismo tiempo, porque la música es tranquila, pero siempre tienes la sensación de estar siendo observado. Voces en tuberías, gritos a lo lejos. Te hacen sentir como que algo no está bien. -Entidades: No hay entidades que te ataquen en este juego, pero... cuando juegas y vas avanzando puedes ver en algún momento personas, sombras, seres que te observan o se esconden a tu paso. Eso es la esencia de los Backrooms, el hecho de saber que no estas solo y no debes bajar la guardia. -CORRER: Este es el punto que más me ha ganado en el juego. Puedes correr, saltar , agacharte. Pero cuando digo correr es correr, no como hacen los otros juegos de este tipo que te ponen a andar como un anciano de 80 años y cuando pulsas para correr el anciano se mueve unos milímetros más rápido. Eso es exasperante en un juego de exploración. Aquí puedes correr de verdad y no importa porque los mapas son tan grandes que no vas a terminar el juego en 30 minutos simplemente por ir mas rapido. -Objetos: Puedes interaccionar con ellos, cogerlos, llevartelos, tirarlos a un pozo oscuro si te apetece. -Paisajes: Simplemente hermosos, aunque vayas corriendo como un loco te digo yo que te vas a parar simplemente a observar los paisajes, ¿porque? porque son hermosos, ya me lo confirmarás. -Niveles: Tremendamente grandes, con sensación de espacio infinito. -Jugabilidad: Un 10. Va fluido, los movimiento son mas realistas que en otros juegos y el manejo es sencillo. -Liminal: Absolutamente SI. Aparte del juego POOLS y alguno que otro, este es de los únicos que sabe captar la esencia de los Backrooms en lo referente a Liminal. Espacios infinitos que no encajan en la percepción de tu mente y te hacen sentir incomodo. Este juego capta a la perfección esa sensación. CONTRAS: -Se me ha hecho corto. Esta es mi opinión personal, pero es porque me ha gustado tanto que me lo he pulido de una sentada. Sinceramente, venía de probar otros juegos de los Backrooms con malos gráficos, mala jugabilidad, pixelados, sin historia o historia que nada tiene que ver con los Backrooms, juegos que solo se aprovechan del hype para venderte cualquier cosa y llamarla Backrooms. ESTE juego me ha quitado el mal sabor de boca, me ha dejado con ganas de más y la sensación de haber jugado a un gran juego. Lo he disfrutado y si a ti te gusta la exploración, los paisajes liminales y el lore de los backrooms, juégalo. No lo dudes. Gracias al desarrollador por hacer un juego tan bueno.
can someone help me out byh telling me how the sprint jump works please
