What Superliminal is
Superliminal is an adventure game developed by Pillow Castle Games and released in 2019. It was published by Noodlecake Studios. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, iOS, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
A patient checks into the Pierce Institute to try SomnaSculpt, an experimental dream-therapy technology, and is put to sleep inside a testing environment built within their own dreamworld — a place where reality bends and objects can be reshaped through perspective. When they fail to wake at the appointed time, they find themselves slipping ever deeper through successive layers of dream. Guided over crackling radios by the institute's Dr. Glenn Pierce and prompted by the therapy's automated system, the dreamer must navigate an increasingly surreal and unstable mindscape, searching for their own way back to waking life.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, comedy and mystery. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 27 achievements to unlock.

How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 4.2 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 13 hrs, roughly 3.1 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $6.80, that works out to about $1.62 per hour of the main story, or $0.52 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.0GHz, 4 GB RAM and NVidia GTX 750. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today.
