Biography
The celebrated Bee Gees were formed by Barry Gibb and his twin brothers Robin and Maurice Gibb in the late fifties. These three gave their first performances in Manchester as a band under various titles. In 1958, their family moved to Australia, where they continued their music activities. By that time, Barry had already mastered song writing skills, while the band had finally taken up the Bee Gees name. Their first public fame came to them after a performance at one of the local TV shows. In four years, big stars in Australia, the brothers released their debut single The Battle of Blue and Green. They produced their first Australian LP The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs in 1965. Bee Gees were considered one of the leading artists in Australia, yet almost absolutely unknown abroad. In 1967, the brothers came back to England and added instrumentalists Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen to the lineup. Their first English single, New York Mining Disaster 1941 (1967), reached Top 20 in the UK and the USA. The song was prominent for its perfect melodiousness and hard-to-get lyrics, both creating a very specific mood. The following singles, Holiday, and To Love Somebody, were written in the same vein. All of them were featured on the long player Bee Gees' 1st (1967), one of the ten best albums in the UK and the USA. It was followed by another successful release, Horizontal, containing the single Massachusetts running first in the British charts.

The Full Mix (Bonus Track) The folks at Pillow Castle Games kindly offered me the chance to remix the original soundtrack to their game SUPERLIMINAL, originally composed. Superliminal generates visualizations that react to the beat of your music. Open music files stored on your device or use your microphone to react to the sound around you. You'll be fully immersed in a series of virtual environments, with randomly generated reactive visualizations moving around you.
Later, Bee Gees decided to record a live album called Masterpeace, but worked hard enough to produce the magnificent double CD Odessa, considered the best rock album in their entire discography. However, the process of its creation ended with a conflict between the members of the group as they had failed to agree which song to release as a single. Robin concluded that Maurice and Barry had made a plot against him, and quit the band in 1969. He did not participate in recording the following Cucumber Castle, featuring the smash Don’t Forget To Remember. In 1970, the brothers left all hard feelings behind and reunited, which resulted in the LP 2 Years On with the super hit Lonely Days. The next albums, Trafalgar, and To Whom It May Concern, left much to be desired. Obviously, Bee Gees needed something to change. Therefore, they went to another studio to make a different sort of music. The outcome was the rhythm-and-blues album Mr. Natural, welcomed warmly by both audience and critics. Shortly after, they recorded Main Course, their first album to feature elements of dance music.
In the late seventies, Bee Gees recorded the soundtrack to the Saturday Night Fever movie, symbolizing their complete and utter shift to disco. This release met numerous enthusiastic reviews, and so did the following Spirits Have Flown. Soon, however, this music faded away, which affected the Bee Gees popularity. For a long period, their main occupation was writing for other artists, until they came back with the E.S.P album, released in 1987, to favor of the audience. The band’s last good seller was the 1989 album, One. Later, Bee Gees produced unremarkable works, which forced them to take a break. In 1997, they released Still Waters and were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the same day. In 2003, Maurice Gibb suddenly died. Afterwards, his brothers, Barry and Robin, carried on music activities on a separate basis and gave joint performances only at rare events.

Hello, and welcome back to yet another lesson about things you will eventually come to dread as a game critic! Today, we’ll be discussing labors of love, games that have taken years and years to complete. After all, it can be easy to worry over a game that the developers have poured a lot of their life’s work into. What if it turns out that it wasn’t worth the wait? Do you really want to be the jerk who gives the game a low score, knowing just what went into it? Such is the dilemma with games such as Superliminal here, a first-person puzzler that took nearly six years to complete. An impressive-looking game built around forced perspective, it’s quite the ambitious game, and developers Pillow Castle are clearly proud of all the work they’ve done. Which means it really, really hurts when I have to say that the end result ends up being pretty…meh.
Superliminal takes the form of a dream therapy session known as Somnasculpt, designed by the enigmatic Dr. Pierce. You enter as a lucid dreamer, wandering around a hotel, getting used to being able to warp the sizes of certain objects in your surroundings. But then something goes wrong during the orientation and you find yourself going off the rails and behind the scenes and now you have to trigger the emergency protocol in order to wake up. This means going through several layers of this dream world, which end up getting more insane in various ways as you progress. The first thing that should easily catch your attention in Superliminal is, rightfully so, its central gimmick of forced perspective puzzles. Not only does it make a clever idea, it’s easy to pull off in the game. Simply grab an object, move it around and rotate it if needed, and let go to place it down in a new area. So you can, say, grab an an exit sign held a few feet away from your face, drop it in front of a far away platform, and boom, you have a giant ramp to help you get up. Simple and fun to work with.

You also get several impressive visuals as well, with some of the optical illusions being outstanding and contrasting nicely with the sleek hotel decor. It truly does feel like the type of world you would encounter in a dream, complete with nice lo-fi music that sets the mood. It all makes a great first impression, but after that, things start to feel a bit shallow.
One of the big flaws of Superliminal is that it’s clever, but rarely is it challenging. Despite throwing a few occasional gimmicks in certain levels, such as items that multiply when you check on them or areas where you have to move around doorways in order to manipulate your size, the overall difficulty level never seems to escalate. And this may be due to the fact that while preview clips may give the impression that you can grow and shrink whatever items needed to progress, in reality you only get about one or two items per room that you can interact with, so it doesn’t take long to figure out a solution.
Still, I get it. The emphasis is likely less of the puzzle difficulty and more on the narrative and visual spectacle. And visually, it has a ton of optical illusions and mind screws when you interact with a few objects, which are always a neat touch. The narrative, on the other hand…well, sadly, it isn’t exactly Portal quality. We end up learning nothing about our main character or what the visuals we find in the game mean, and the hints of an evil AI or something in a similar vein interfering with things never come to fruition. Instead, the big narrative moment comes with the ending, where we learn that the main theme and lesson we’re to take away from all this is that sometimes to get past obstacles in our life, we need to look at things from a different perspective.
The entire concept of the game revolves around forced perspective, and how we have to manipulate it, so that’s kind of an obvious lesson. Yet Superliminal tries to present it like some sort of big epiphany, complete with uplifting music, in an ending that seems to drag itself out. Which is impressive, seeing as how the average playthrough will only likely last about ninety minutes to two hours. Yes, we have quite the short game here, and sadly, this is one of those cases where it works against it. Things end too quickly, well before any aspect of the game ever allows itself to grow into something more impressive. It’s nothing bad, mind you, but nothing ever seems to rise above the heights of “decent.”

I kept thinking about the constant themes of changing perspectives and thinking outside the box, though, and came to a rather damning conclusion: for a game telling you to think differently and find unexpected conclusions, Superliminal is shockingly linear. The core concept and themes don’t actually work with the presentation and execution. Again, you would expect a game like this to let you go nuts, but rarely does it offer that opportunity.
For those who have played The Stanley Parable, you may recall that the “main” tale involves shutting down a mind control device and Stanley escaping to freedom, the joke being that you can only achieve this by doing everything that the narrator tells you to do, in a bit of hypocritical humor. Well, Superliminal basically plays that exact idea straight. It ends with narration informing you that you’ve basically been extremely creative, clever and whatnot, but in reality the game was laid out in such a way that it felt like all I was doing was following the instructions. It basically wants you to think outside the box, but never realizes that it’s having you do so while enclosed in another box the whole time.

Superliminal has a unique concept for a puzzle game and nice and trippy visuals to accompany it, but alas, that’s the majority of what it has going for it. The short length combined with the lack of difficulty and any interesting story means that the game will barely leave an impact on you, and there really isn’t any reason to revisit it. And it’s a shame, because it starts out impressive, but then the novelty wears off quickly. While it may still be an okay game overall, there are many other first-person puzzlers worth checking out instead which do a better job of thinking outside the box.
