The authors of liminal point are skipping steam next fest to work on improvements and are showcasing gameplay on the steam deck

The studio HideWorks — known for The Devil is in the Details — is still iterating on Liminal Point, an isometric survival‑horror that leans on Silent Hill’s uncanny dread and Resident Evil’s tense resource play while tipping its hat to Signalis’ fractured tech‑noir. Rather than dropping into Steam Next Fest, the team chose to keep polishing and instead released a Steam Deck test: the build holds roughly 35 fps on the Deck even with ray tracing (rtx) enabled. What’s shown is a technical stress‑run more than a polished slice of story — Lyra Sterling fires a shotgun in tight, gloomy rooms of an abandoned mansion, combat feeling snappier and more kinetic than you might expect from the final mood. The devs warn this is a work‑in‑progress; pacing and atmosphere are likely to shift as they dial things in, so treat the clip as a performance snapshot, not the last word.
