Chase B. Nah I’m talking full immersive recreations of abandoned stuff. I wanna walk through a broken down Disney land and be very scared while doing so
I think video games are perfect for liminal spaces because since I was a child, I have a feeling of "loneliness" when I play, especially "empty" games (without npc's). A feeling that makes me miss humanity, get up from the chair and go after someone to interact. living in a liminal space should be like this
It’s why I love games where NPCs are always around. Games like Fallout make me feel so off because you’ll see so many empty spaces...places that have no soul or remnant of humanity...only either horrors of the unknown or...nothing.
wdym “risking your life” liminal spaces are anything from hospitals at night to parking lots, to abandoned buildings, they aren’t really life threatening

The old 18 Wheels of Steel truck sim games sort of reminded me of this as well. Especially the in game cities felt dead and empty. There was a glitch in the game where you could fall through the ground. You would just fall forever, with the HUD GPS freaking out. The arrow on the GPS would literally grow, and all you would hear is beeping, and text on screen would say "EMERGENCY RESCUE $500 FEE: PRESS F5" or something like that, in blood red letters. You would hear the engine of the truck die out, leaving only the beeping, and you falling and spinning endlessly, and your only escape would be to pay 500 dollars and wake up at a silent auto repair shop. There was such a thing as other truckers in the games, but they would seem dead and shallow, like they were brainwashed or something. Interaction was thoughtless and boring, they didn't even care if you crashed into them. A few low-poly NPC cars littered the streets, driving around city blocks for hours, waiting at each and every traffic light for nothing. In order to make cities seem larger, the game had roads that were under construction. There were a few construction barriers, but not much else. Indeed it was a pretty weak barrier. My 6 year old self decided to drive right around the roadblocks and past some random construction equipment. First off, things seemed pretty normal, a few non-moving cars here and there, nothing much. I rounded a bend to see that the buildings had been replaced with the void. All there was was a road and sidewalk. I kept going right to where the road ended. It led right down deep into a dark blackness, a black darkness, which could consume the player so easily. That game had its flaws, and I had my nightmares. I had nightmares of my grandfather's big rig driving down the highway, slowly sinking into the asphalt, without him noticing. I also dreamed of the old Windows XP PC powering on mid-night, showing only a tractor trailer descending into hell. But yeah, another source for these videos.
I remember right in the middle of the lockdown I had to go back to my work office in an emergency. What would usually be a well lit space with people working and walking around and telephones ringing frequently, was a dark and silent space accompanied by the subtle blow of the aircon. I was the only one in the entire floor since 90% of people were working from home and had stayed there for about 3 hours. I kinda felt like I was in a survival/horror game going around and completing my work tasks like game objectives to escape the building. Not at all spooky but was a really interesting time.
Ducks are nothing, man. Silver-Laced Wyandottes, standing all around you in a perfect half-circle like you owe them a tax or something just for being in their presence. They're the real menacing birds. Oh yeah, and they make this very low bass noise by their clucking noises, too. I've seen some crazy stuff happen to raccoons that tried to attack their coop. One of the raccoons had a strange purple glow and his hair was standing on end when he was standing 10 meters from the coop, then he got struck by lightning 2.5 meters away. My advice? Stay out of the Eldritch Zones of the chicken farm sector of InfiniSpace™.
Wow what a coincidence I’ve been planning on designing a ps1 style game soon inspired by the kind of sceneries you share, similar to the style of LSD: Dream Emulator. Seems almost like fate lol Currently I’m well versed in Texture design/graphic design. I plan on picking up coding and 3D design to accomplish this. However, if @float or anyone reading this comment feels they have anything to bring to the table, please leave a reply I plan on using Unity engine.
Just so you know, try not to make complicated code if you just started coding if you wanna release that game early. Focus on core things like player movement, camera movement and sound managers. Other things like adding menu are not required but if you finish with the game and got more time to spend, you can work on things like that.
Dav Mag20 oh I forgot to mention, I’m very intermediate (somewhat expert) in horror sound design I want the game to have the unnerving music, but I also want it to be random (meaning serene music sometimes) And at some point when I’m skilled enough to do it, or when the games ready for it. I’d like a plethora of sounds to be generated into music based on the parameters or seed of the generated area (which would consist of ambience, strange sci-fi noises, metal/industrial flutters and again anything serene) Although I’d like to keep serene and unnerving separate But I still wanna keep a random(anything is possible) approach
There's no worse feeling than playing your fav fps game and then taking like 2-3 minutes to find an enemy.. because you know they can be behind you all the time.
The hallway at 1:42 is from Lost In Vivo. A horror game I can’t recommend enough to everyone you MUST play it. It’s on steam, pretty cheap and one of the best I’ve ever played. Deserves more popularity
1:01 I instantly recognized this interior from GTA San Andreas this is that one place you have to rob with Catalina using explosives. I remember this place specifically because I failed that mission so many times by Catalina and the civilians with the explosives somehow. Edit: So I recognize 4 of these from that same game
0:42 I remember when I went to the gym with my classmates at sunset. this was nostalgic and scary at the same time because of the immense brightness and darkness around the corners.
Honestly I never get creeped out or scared by any of these. But 3:40 is the only one that makes me wanna stop watching. I've played Garry's Mod for years simply for the unlimited supply of creativity you can create all by yourself or with others. I've played this map most of the time I would play by myself and they've all just been happy memories (I stopped playing for 4 years) but holy shit, I haven't felt this uncomfortable in a really long time. Most of the time I would be laughing or just messing around playing this game, never been scared by this game. But this just nails it honestly. The fact that I have no bad memories from this place makes it even more uncomfortable because this would be the first bad memory. The music really sends chills down my spine too. But bravo this was the first ever one in your channel to creep me out.
this is basically singleplayer Garry's Mod EDIT: I commented before the Gm_Construct picture lol. that's the one part of the map I just leave empty so I'm used to the picture.

I’ve heard it described as a place in a video game where you’re not supposed to be, like when you clip through the floor and you’re where only the devs have been
A bridge, a hallway, malls between opening times. A house after its inhabited, but before it's completely destroyed. Unemployment, stairways, cacoons. The space between the floor boards and the building foundation. The very edge of a city, the doorway of a house. It's those "in between" places. They are places that are so common, yet are never seen. If you ever stop at one of these locations, you might realize how strange and unfamiliar they are, despite seeing them everyday. You might think, "this doorway has been stepped in 10,000 times, yet nothing has probably ever happened in it. They're places you aren't supposed to be. You aren't supposed to linger there. What will happen if you do?
2:20 fact: this is an eliminated interior of gta san andreas, it was never used for any mission or cutscene, and theres no way to acces it without using mods.
Okay, the Gmod ones genuinely freak me out. That feeling of playing sandbox alone and just staring at the darkness, feeling alone, yet scared something is there. That game has the Mario 64 negative emotional aura.
okay a weird take about these spaces in video games, i notice a lot of them in majora's mask. The astral observatory, the trippy final boss room, the zora hall, great bay temple, all gave me this unsettling feeling of nostalgia. Probably why i loved the game so much as a kid
i get the meaning behind liminal spaces/rooms, but i wanted to ask if the "backrooms" would be considered those aswell, since they give me the same feeling
Liminal spaces, especially when it comes to games always makes me remember this old freaky game called LSD Dream Emulator, along with Yumi Nikki. Both are similar in the sense that you are exploring weird, usually empty places where it definitely seems like someone had been there but are no longer around. I kinda hope more people make games like those two - it would be awesome as hell to have a game where you just explored with no other beings anywhere to be seen.
I know the anonymity of the locations is pretty important to the experience, but... I've gotta know what games these photos are from. I only recognize a few and would like to check out the others
lots of similar liminal areas exist in like old gold source games like in sven co-op where people made maps in the early/mid 2000s and now theyre practically in servers that have been abandoned
I love when I can immediately recognize what games an image is from. Even more so when I’ve never played the game, it’s just that the art style is so distinct you just know.
i feel like a horror game with no sign of enemies or puzzles or plot, just walking through these kinds of spaces trying to get out would be really scary.
Minecraft has extreme liminal space vibes, like when you start of building a place with the walls and ceiling but you haven't filled it with furniture yet
ngl I got hit with some heavy nostalgia when I heard the Mirror's Edge ambiance. I've probably played through that game 30 times, and I'm just now realizing how much of a liminal space gold mine it is, with all of it's large featureless office buildings and empty malls. Like that's some textbook liminal space and it's everywhere in that game. You could probably make an entire liminal space video just out of Mirror's Edge screenshots.
The Hong Kong levels from the old Hitman games. The giant buildings that surround and tower over your main character (Agent 47) feel claustrophobic and eerie. It doesn’t help that’s there are little to no people around aside from the ones you have to kill, and the strange and dream like music that plays in the levels. The original Hitman was a weird and janky game, but one thing it was always good at is environmental story telling. The begging mission starts you off escaping a lonely test facility to do deeds for a crazy, lonely and mentally deranged man.
Sometimes I start private sessions in old call of duty games just to look around. It's fascinating when you're alone. modern warfare 2 has settings like an abandoned airport terminal (Terminal), ab. favela district (Favela), ab. theme park (Carnival). Very interesting.
incredible lack of quake 3 arena maps. industrial buildings with no entrances or exits that are hallways and rooms that exist only to jump around and shoot in
Yume Nikki is pretty much the video game equivalent of exploring liminal spaces. It’s impressive how ahead of it’s time it was in terms of the feelings of aloneness and isolation with familiar-ish places and imagery. To anyone whose a fan of these kind of videos, go play it. It’s free to download, but I believe you can get it on steam and ios/android for phones as well.
Someone needs to make a VR game that just lets you explore real world abandoned places no monsters or anything just you and your own fears.
That's called google earth

Or just steal textures from Minecraft and make 3d block FPS game
Make it a horror game where you're being chased down by multiple monsters like Alien: Isolation, except the monsters are always just out of view

2:40 hmmmm yes I remember a bald man with a quarter here.
These bring back memories
Are they all from this life?
Andrew Prahst Does everything have to be turned into something deep
The Baldi ruler slaps
They sounded like they got closer every time a new slap happened
I really like this concept, I LIVE FOR ATMOSPHERE
Food, water, ATMOSPHERE!
I'm living for the fact you're using the silent hill soundtracks
2:43 **vietnam flashbacks**
I hear every door you open... Nah I'm just kidding I'm not going to sing that song!
The submerged castle music from pikmin 2 fits so well imagine being in one of these places then the waterwraith just pops out of a corner
What is a “liminal space”
Edit: thanks guys I understand now :D
a subtly creepy transition area basically
not really anything unusual but its enough to disturb you given the right ambience
Look it up you will understand it better
I’ve heard it described as a place in a video game where you’re not supposed to be, like when you clip through the floor and you’re where only the devs have been
A bridge, a hallway, malls between opening times. A house after its inhabited, but before it's completely destroyed. Unemployment, stairways, cacoons. The space between the floor boards and the building foundation. The very edge of a city, the doorway of a house.
It's those "in between" places. They are places that are so common, yet are never seen. If you ever stop at one of these locations, you might realize how strange and unfamiliar they are, despite seeing them everyday. You might think, "this doorway has been stepped in 10,000 times, yet nothing has probably ever happened in it. They're places you aren't supposed to be. You aren't supposed to linger there. What will happen if you do?
@@andrewprahst2529 I still don't get it, I guess I must be stupid then
1:40 made me instantly tense, that level’s theme is so scary
these videos are soooo cool, i love these kinda of vibes i enjoy them a lot🖤
I don't know why, but i love the emotion that i feel when i see this videos
Honestly the mirror's Edge level made me feel more comfortable then disturbed 😳
2:20
fact: this is an eliminated interior of gta san andreas, it was never used for any mission or cutscene, and theres no way to acces it without using mods.
tell me more please!
stanley parable is the game of liminal spaces, if you turn off the narrator’s subtitles.
Okay, the Gmod ones genuinely freak me out. That feeling of playing sandbox alone and just staring at the darkness, feeling alone, yet scared something is there. That game has the Mario 64 negative emotional aura.
Getting trapped in a world like this:
Everybody: ahh help
Introverts: *it's free real estate*
the baldi one is so accurate it hurts lmao
3:13 same noise i get when my bluetooth earbuds act up
okay a weird take about these spaces in video games, i notice a lot of them in majora's mask. The astral observatory, the trippy final boss room, the zora hall, great bay temple, all gave me this unsettling feeling of nostalgia. Probably why i loved the game so much as a kid
Same here.
i get the meaning behind liminal spaces/rooms, but i wanted to ask if the "backrooms" would be considered those aswell, since they give me the same feeling
Liminal spaces, especially when it comes to games always makes me remember this old freaky game called LSD Dream Emulator, along with Yumi Nikki. Both are similar in the sense that you are exploring weird, usually empty places where it definitely seems like someone had been there but are no longer around. I kinda hope more people make games like those two - it would be awesome as hell to have a game where you just explored with no other beings anywhere to be seen.
0:25 GTA SA MD’s recording studio
2:40 I just got 1 million flashbacks from that one smack. 💀
I know the anonymity of the locations is pretty important to the experience, but... I've gotta know what games these photos are from. I only recognize a few and would like to check out the others
I recognize these: 1:01 GTA San Andreas Horse Betting Place, 2:56 Baldi's Basics, 3:05 Minecraft
To add a few, 1:40 is Lost in Vivo, a very good horror game, and 3:20 is Postal 2 I believe. There's a very obvious Mirror's Edge in there too.
@@mrmuffinz126 Yea Mirror's Edge at 0:40
Whats the one at 2:20?
@@jimmybean420 unused gta sa map
Gta SA, the houses in this game had something that made them just plain depressing inside
4:00 what game is that?
Forza horizon 3
I took that one actually lul
MrDaft I figured it was I recognized the city in the background
@@werefunny gotta love Surfers Paradise
Gmod
So glad to see Perfect Dark here, i always think about that game when i think about liminal spaces
3:13 I thought my computer crashed
The baldi one really shocked fear in me from when I played it. It's like this kind of poorly made bootleg educational game with a dark twist to it.
YO I LOVE THE CALMING VIBES FROM MIRRORS EDGE
I think videos like these explained the thoughts of weird places I had in my mind for a long time
I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SPECIFIC FEELING ABOUT CERTAIN VIDEO GAMES. Something I cannot physically describe. But this video fulfilled that feeling.
lots of similar liminal areas exist in like old gold source games like in sven co-op where people made maps in the early/mid 2000s and now theyre practically in servers that have been abandoned
Time to watch yet another video that scares me out of my wits!
I love when I can immediately recognize what games an image is from. Even more so when I’ve never played the game, it’s just that the art style is so distinct you just know.
The best liminal spaces in video games are on dead mmo servers, I still remember them but can't find them anymore
i feel like a horror game with no sign of enemies or puzzles or plot, just walking through these kinds of spaces trying to get out would be really scary.
Minecraft has extreme liminal space vibes, like when you start of building a place with the walls and ceiling but you haven't filled it with furniture yet
I love your work in TH-cam!!!!! Please continue like this!!!!!
I really love your videos dude, please don’t stop making them
Those liminal spaces make me feel like playing a multiplayer game alone and then taking damage from a non existent player
River twygz bed always gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes water when I listen to it

2:40 B-Baldi?!
ngl I got hit with some heavy nostalgia when I heard the Mirror's Edge ambiance. I've probably played through that game 30 times, and I'm just now realizing how much of a liminal space gold mine it is, with all of it's large featureless office buildings and empty malls. Like that's some textbook liminal space and it's everywhere in that game. You could probably make an entire liminal space video just out of Mirror's Edge screenshots.
The Hong Kong levels from the old Hitman games. The giant buildings that surround and tower over your main character (Agent 47) feel claustrophobic and eerie. It doesn’t help that’s there are little to no people around aside from the ones you have to kill, and the strange and dream like music that plays in the levels.
The original Hitman was a weird and janky game, but one thing it was always good at is environmental story telling. The begging mission starts you off escaping a lonely test facility to do deeds for a crazy, lonely and mentally deranged man.
That feeling when even after you turn a full 360, something STILL feels like its behind you.
Never look up.. they don't like it when you look up..
Sometimes I start private sessions in old call of duty games just to look around. It's fascinating when you're alone. modern warfare 2 has settings like an abandoned airport terminal (Terminal), ab. favela district (Favela), ab. theme park (Carnival). Very interesting.
I think one of the reasons why Liminal Spaces have such an effect on me is 'cause I grew up playing Gmod Singleplayer since the age of 5
incredible lack of quake 3 arena maps. industrial buildings with no entrances or exits that are hallways and rooms that exist only to jump around and shoot in
Yume Nikki is pretty much the video game equivalent of exploring liminal spaces. It’s impressive how ahead of it’s time it was in terms of the feelings of aloneness and isolation with familiar-ish places and imagery. To anyone whose a fan of these kind of videos, go play it. It’s free to download, but I believe you can get it on steam and ios/android for phones as well.
