History VideoGame / Subliminal

* OminousVisualGlitch: ''Very'' easily missed, but the first room that appears in the trailer is a dimly lit living room with furniture that includes a single wooden chair. When the player turns the light on, there are now two chairs.

Not to be confused to ''VideoGame/{{Superliminal}}'', a similar-looking game that's less horror and more of a puzzler.

* ElectronicSpeechImpediment: The training video at the beginning of the trailer glitches audibly and visually in multiple places, including when the narrator says, "Use your light source to help you navigate through the ex-ex-experience..." and "Av-av-avoid making eye contact with any unfamiliar faces..."

* AmusementParkOfDoom: One of the levels is an indoor children's play area with brightly colored equipment.

* NothingIsScarier: Like the lore of the creepypasta it was based on, the sense of fear in the game comes from being in spaces that are ordinarily filled with other people, but are instead empty and silent. Most of the trailer is spent wandering around various empty locations while eerie music plays, including a living room with children's toys and a TV, a hospital corridor, and a hotel floor.

The player will solve puzzles while exploring the Backrooms, an endless series of interconnected rooms that resemble places one might see in real life, like living rooms, hospital corridors, and subway stations, but all of them are ominously empty. Empty, that is...aside from some hostile entities and monsters you might run into.
