*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 clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lathe 3D at none against Superliminal's 2. Lathe 3D also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Superliminal's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
