Tape 101: Liminal Descent explores psychological horror through liminal environments - spaces suspended between memory and reality, where architecture becomes an emotional landscape shaped by loss, perception, and fragmented identity.

This playtest introduces Chapter 3: Madness for the first time, continuing your descent into environments where perception fractures and spatial logic begins to collapse.

The update also includes improvements to earlier chapters and additional atmospheric polish across the experience.

  • Updated Chapters 1 & 2 - Refined puzzles and improved navigation flow

  • RC Car Exploration - Scout inaccessible spaces and activate hidden mechanisms

  • Liminal Architectural Design - Looping environments that distort scale and perception

  • Emotion-Driven Storytelling - The Kübler-Ross model of grief shapes the world around you
