Games like Subliminal

Want something that feels mysterious and surreal the way Subliminal does? You will find a few strong contenders among these games.

Superliminal
A first-person puzzle game where perspective is the mechanic: pick up an object, look at it from the right angle, and it grows huge in your hands. You wander through a dream that keeps rewriting its own rules, guided by a well-meaning doctor and an AI that would rather you stayed. Weird, funny, and genuinely surprising.
