*NOTICE - TRY BEFORE YOU BUY* - Play the beginning for free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full game. No ads. Falling asleep at 3AM, you close your eyes to the cheesy commercial of Dr. Pierce's dream therapy program. You wake up in an unfamiliar enviornment, only to realize that you're stuck in a dream - a dream where perception is reality. Welcome to Superliminal. Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game inspired perspective and optical illusions. Players tackle impossible puzzles by thinking outside the box and learning to expect the unexpected. This game features a wonderfully subdued world, an intriguingly voiced narrative, and things that are really weird.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Superliminal at Free against Cosmetica's $0.99. Superliminal also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 28 months). Cosmetica's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
