My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!
Superliminal description (from Steam):
ABOUT THIS GAME
Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game based on forced perspective and optical illusions. Puzzles in this game give you a sense of the unexpected. Players need to change their perspective and think outside the box to wake up from the dream.
WAKE UP
As you fall asleep with the TV on at 3AM, you remember catching a glimpse of the commercial for Dr. Pierce’s Somnasculpt dream therapy program. By the time you open your eyes, you’re already dreaming - beginning the first stages of this experimental program.
PERCEPTION IS REALITY
Explore a dream world where everything is exactly as it seems. Tread carefully as the world slowly unravels around you and subverts your expectations. What you see isn’t always precisely what you get.
MAN VS MACHINE
In this fully-voiced adventure, Dr Glenn Pierce is doing his questionable best to guide you home and out of the dreamscape. His artificial intelligence assistant, however, is having trouble understanding exactly how you’re here at all, and has other plans for you.
DEVELOPER COMMENTARY
We’ve added an extensive developer commentary throughout the game, so you can learn the secrets and history behind the game’s development.
CHALLENGE MODE
The overwhelming response from the speedrunning community to Superliminal inspired us to add a new Challenge Mode, which will score you per-level on metrics such as time to finish, grabs, and jumps.
EXPERIMENTAL WORKSHOP SUPPORT
Superliminal features Steam Workshop integration. Bring any 3D object into the game and play around with mind-bending perspective tricks.

Hey! It’s super cool to see you running this game that I’ve been playing for almost a year now! I think you used my tutorial too, which is extremely flattering, and I can’t wait to see all the new runners that you’ll bring into the community :)
Yep your tutorial was awesome for learning! Thank you so much for making it
@@EazySpeezy I beat superliminal and I love it
@@EazySpeezy :))))))
I also used your tutorial, it's really well made, i only have you to thank haha!
Id love to see this video but with no voice
A nice mix of Stanley, Portal and the Backrooms. I swear I've seen demos of the core physics concept but didn't know there was a full game out.
THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE
the demo would technically be Museum of Simulation Technology which was made by the creator of superliminal before they released superliminal. Fun game ran by some of the same runners from the Superliminal community
The UI did really look like the one in the stanley parable
Yeah I was thinking about the mix of these three too! It’s amazing
I'm pretty sure this game was heavily marketed on Reddit for years, which is where I would see dozens of clips from the early versions of this game and I only recently realized it was fully released as well
Gotta love this game, the devs really did a good job on making it unnecessarily unsettling and it always gave me the feel of a horror game
Truly the game of 2019
Huh thats interesting ive never seen this game as a horror game. What makes it feel like that for you?
@@Kaitri likely it’s odd disjointed and (forgive me if this word is overused) liminal feel that could certainly creep some players out
fact
It isn't a horror tho
@@2908._. They never said it was a horror game, they said it gave them the feel of one.
Its an unsettling game, thats what they are saying.
What I love about this game is that I can't tell if the way they programmed was either incredibly complex or incredibly simple
this took 7 years to make, hope that answers ur question lmao
@@finjacsr Length of development doesn't mean much necessarily.
why would someone take 7 years to make a simple game where you draw? they would probably put a lot of effort into it and it would be complex@@Gandhi_Physique
@@DccToon I don't understand what the point of what you are saying is related to what I said
you said the length of development doesnt men much neccacerily, but more time = more effort, content, and love put into the games, less time = low effort, low content, and less care sometimes, though game jams are excluded as they sometimes make the most popular things you see today, challenges, but if you are a mobile game developer [specifically vodoo] then you would just, make agame in 3 seconds witgh like 2901349 microtransactions
time is important when it comes to games
geometry dash 2.2 is still in the making and its been like 7 years, and its about to release soon, and the update is so hyped, so heavy packed with amazing stuff, and honestly seems too good to be true.@@Gandhi_Physique
I love this game I still trying to get the sub 30 minutes speedrun achievement
Maybe it is easy for you not for them
It was pretty easy indeed, just play it a couple of times so you remember what to do
There are some fairly easy to do glitches that can save a lot of time. You can skip all of Labyrinth pretty easily. There are also some good tutorial videos out there. You're also welcome to stop by the speedrunning discord if you have any questions.
I'm not sure if it counts, but the speedrun timer still goes so it might. If you collect all the hidden chess pieces you can start a new game then click on the computer before level 2. From there you can walk outside a window that'll place you in the whitespace level & you can beat the game that way in under 10 minutes.
Good luck
"It's been less than thirty minutes and he's finished the entire game.
I'm so glad we spent more than 7 years on this game."
-Devs, watching the world record speedrun.
They def expected and encouraged it. With the achievement to beat it under 30 minutes
@@glasshorse6893 Achievements and speedrun timer weren't added until 1 year after release though.
@@Hippienator ah my bad. More like they accepted it then?
@@glasshorse6893 oh yes, i watched the whole thing and I know that they certainly made the game with speedrunning in mind. They even noted on the tricks the speedrunner used that they were going to add to the puzzles themselves but was too complicated for the average player.
@@glasshorse6893 They're really helpful and open with the community. We've generally known major patches were coming ahead of time.
The optical illusion dead end (2:15) would be so evil/good for a horror game but then again a lot of these illusions would be good ideas to use in a horror game.
Yeah, I just realized horror games never used much of illusions(unlike in movies)
These are good ideas
hey speezy, thank you for speedrunning superliminal. as the world record holder for console glitchless, this was really well explained, i really enjoyed the commentary you put on it.

Damn nice job
Hey! GG on getting a 27 minute time!!! I've run this game for over 6 months at this point and seeing you run it is a treat! Thanks for bring more light to this awesome speedrun game!!!!

What’s up!
hi
Hey Speezy! I am a verifier for this game on SRC and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for running this game and for making a video on it. It's nice to see bigger creators give this game more exposure. I absolutely love this game and the speedrunning community behind it to bits, and I'm so excited to see the traction that this video gets and for all of the new runs that we could have to verify because of it. We're always lucky to have newer runners so really, we appreciate you!
Is that the Ozmourn?!?!?!?!
@@GamingWizard689 The Legend!
Funny seeing you here
hi oz
hi sam
This game is insane. I love optical illusions and stuff like this
Imagine playing this game in VR… that would be so trippy 😂
On acid..
Yes and no. Part of the trickery would be gone because you'd be able to see the depth changes that this game likes to hide in 2D. It's precisely the thing that I think makes this game unique and interesting. 😎
Hello there Mr Speezy! Superliminal speedrunner here! Actually 2nd in the world on console lol. But it’s great to see you bring some more attention to this awesome game! It’s definitely a great one to showcase! Glad so many people can see it! :)
this game must have been so hard to make, props to the devs
Apparently it was really easy
7 years of dev time
@@acoustic_. Barely an inconvenience
@@YaroslaffFedin typed it up using their phones during their daily morning jogs
This is just “Zach King the Game.”
_Superliminal_ renews my confidence that game devs in the 2020's will still be able to produce genuinely unique, challenging & entertaining games... and it all started as a university programming assignment! I'm fascinated by optical illusions & how the human brain interprets visual inputs, so a game mechanic that allows you to manipulate objects using perspective is just beyond brilliant. I didn't realise until now that they built an in-game timer for speedrunners, but that's even more amazing... clearly a game made _by_ gamers _for_ gamers. Absolutely love it.
I watched MatPat play this a couple years ago, and it's one of the most interesting and unique games I've seen. I don't think anyone else I watch has played this game, so I'm glad to see it getting more attention, especially from an awesome speedrunner such as yourself :)
Of course you may not know him, but markiplier made a video on it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@SoulWafflePop I don't watch Markiplier bc of swearing
Quite a lot of CZcamsrs made videos on them, like smii7y, jacksepticeye, RT game and slimecicle or simccl, not sure who of those two played it.
@@autumnblueberry tbh swearing is nothing bad, it's only bad if its directed at someone that it shows that you're kinda pissed off about them or just being rude. Saying fuck after losing to something annoying or just saying it because why not is reasonable.
What really breaks my mind is the fact someone was able to code this game while riotgames cant even code a client.
Also ben sounds different in this video
It was apparently really easy to code
as someone who has played orn or has been killed by aphelios i agree with you
I’m stuck on the hall 1 part
its entirely different codes that are required here, hard/unnecessary to compare
One thing I like about the title logo of this game is that the M is actually empty space bordered by a wedge, a notched recatngle, and the two I's. In most situation's you'd see the M first and have to strain your eyes to see the I's instead, but since we already know the title and how it's spelled, we can see all three at a glance and instead have to concentrate hard to see that the M isn't actually there.
The game designers deserve a ton of credit for this level of visual creativity.
Yo, Speezy: I discovered your speedrunning after watching GDQ and Developers React channels. Super dig your casual style of very seriously taking on a speed running project. The narration keeps the motivation and energy up through the game. Not knowing what's coming up keeps the material surprising. That all being said, and no knock to how you approach gaming since it is so personally motivated (Still working on solo/self found offline Holy Grail for D2R - obviously. Ergo, I get it), but how do you feel about just visiting numerous games exploring their speed running community? Do you stop and go back on streams or in your own time to old projects just for yourself? Ever try to use such a diverse speed running knowledge to finding new tactics, or is your thrill just getting in deep and dirty to a new game, a new run, a new challenge and just ford the waters the greats before us did and hope to honor their efforts merely through emulation?
In a nutshell, I guess: What's your personal philosophy of speedrunning games?
u typed a lot
@@VEGETA_OFFCL that's a cool question tho
It’s hard to say, but I guess speedrunning a game helps me get the most out of it. I like learning all about a games mechanics and seeing how far I can push myself within them.
However, I also don’t have a personality where I can grind a game for too long. I’ll end up getting bored. So I found the middle ground of speedrunning a lot of games, solely with the purpose of playing until I’m satisfied with my time
So I like the idea of casually speedrunning, and taking on each challenge as I want. There are some games that I love going back to and doing some more like Cuphead and Goat Simulator. So every now and then I’ll also go back and do some casual fun improving times on my own. But also depends on my schedule
I ain’t reading allat
Breaking reality and your mind rather quickly. Impressive
Very nice seeing you give this amazing game exposure, I can assure you I’ve put my heart and soul into running this game (around a year at this point lol) so spreading that love to as many people is always a nice thing to see :)
shows how amazing this game is. some of this was completely different for me. Ill end up in a different room bc I did something different to complete it
I love this game so much. I was following development since back when it was "Museum of Simulation Technology." The Dollhouse level is my absolute favorite level in the whole game
YES! Thank you for speedrunning this game! This is my favorite game, and the speed runner achievement is so hard to get for me, I was 1 minute off the time!
You’re the best.
i've been trying to get the same achievement as well, haven't had much success nor have i bothered to look up any speedruns :p
if you ever need any help, join the community discord! we are happy to help everyone :)
@@duckycabbage7331 understood, I’ll keep that mind, thank you!
20:30 MOM I'M ON TV
I’m so glad this speedrun is getting the recognition it deserves! Myself and many much more talented runners have put a ton of time and effort into this game, and it still has one of the best communities out there. Thank you!
I imagine playing this game blind would be akin to attaining enlightenment, it really makes you challenge and shift your perspective, and question everything you thought you knew.
Can confirm it is exactly that! :)
Things like this make me feel really bad for blind people... everyone deserves to experience this beautiful masterpiece.
@@kursadsari026nl6 this is a term used in gaming when people dont know any information about the game prior to playing it ...

I spent so much time, trying to spawn apples in a row going up the stairs pass the fan
I love this game so much. Just the concept is something so unique and I'd be excited to see some sort of sequel if they ever do.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS i remember commenting on a vid and recommending to try to speedrun this game and the legend actually did it eventually!! It is now too difficult to get wr in, so if more people speedrun this, we have a better chance. :)
Plus multiplayer, battle royale and co-op mode are fun overall, so you can still have something to do in the game except for speedrunning it if you have finished it.

Oh superliminal, a game that I spent a lot of time on it. I really love your content and continue the great work!
I’ve never seen this game before, but one thing i truly love is how some doorways have a mosaic effect, similar to like the snes. It’s like going through the paintings in SM64. So cool
I remember playing this game and having so much fun with it. It's truly a great game and very underrated. Wish it was longer.
Thank you for making legendary content. Keep it up! :)

I was expecting mommy long legs to drop down and say " a new playmate! Its been soooooo long..."
I was playing the game earlier today, and I saw that if you go in-between two of the squares at 19:01, you don’t even have to resize the one chess piece. Although it’s janky and kinda precise.
i’ve been running this game for a little over six months now, and it’s super cool to see you running this game
YES! I wanted you to speedrun this for literal AGES.
wow this game is extremely fascinating. was amazing to watch. huge props to the developers. I just know it would take me hours to finish this lol
This game is so cool, glad you decided to dive into it and speed run it!
It’s awesome to see a game that I consistently run on this channel so I actually understand what’s going on! Love that you ran glitchless but I just keep thinking about the any% runs where it’s really mind boggling
10:44 no one gonna tell if a pun is intended or not?
But at least it's only a little bit of a "BLOCK" away (literally there's a Jenga block)
A block is a distance from one street to the next, perpendicular to the street you are walking on.
This game is fantastic fun to play and to speed run. It was my first proper speedrun attempt in any game. The music is also great too
ive been playing superliminal for about a year now, nice seeing you speedrun it
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
1:11 I didn’t realize I was supposed to do that. Instead I glitched the block through the do, don’t use that trick btw. Very time consuming
4:24 nice subtitles
Thanks for the speedrun guide, helped a lot
loved this game
I love this game, and it's really cool to see you run it. I worked dammed hard to get this glitchless under 30 mins, and it's cool to see this game getting the deserved recognition

Reminds me of Bloomingdales
I haven't watched one of your videos since about 900k. I can't believe you're at 2 mil! Congrats! Also really glad you ran this game, it's one of my favorites.
This game is such a masterpiece. The games message of looking at problems at different angles is great. And especially because when you watch other people play the game they can solve a puzzle in a way completely different to your playthrough. I absolutely love the game for this reason
1:42
hey you are finally awake
Bro clipped through backrooms 💀
Playing this after taking Lsd and 2c-b is a other level of Mindfuck
the really enjoying of this video is looking you speed running the game as with the scene always changing but it FIT nearly PERFECTLY with your sound.
leaving a like here nice vid btw im bad english forgive if it hard to understand
I love this game especially
The ending dialog if i remember it made me cry good work -New sub-

Thank you for this speedrun!!! I've been at 32min and just couldn't figure out how to do the puzzles faster! Thank you!

Dude, I'm so happy, I love this game.
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
@@Rekkuza-eu6sp I actually am a Christian, and while I'm not a big fan of copy and paste evangelism, I think I appreciate your intentions here. I think you're off on a few things, though. One main thing I would ask would be clarification of "Belief in [the] messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation. If this is referring to Jewish religious beliefs then I understand, but if you're implying some sort of secret knowledge beyond Jesus on how to be saved, you're on the wrong track. While a true commitment to God is essential, we're not saved by works, only by the grace of God, and there's no secret extra step (Ephesians 2:8). On smaller but still concerning points, you're moving into a disturbing realm of thought when preaching that all the world governments have been in kahoots for years and that all of history is fake. Yes, Revelation does talk about a sort of one-world government, and you can see things leaning in that direction somewhat in the modern era, I don't think it's an accurate statement. I'm not saying that believing something wrong on a secondary issue ruins your Christianity, but it can be concerning. As for the "food sacrificed to idols" part of your comment, regardless of your reasoning (most likely having to do with the political and social issues they support that contradict the Bible), I don't think it's right at all to equate Wendy's and McDonald's with that. Not that I'm recommending those places of course, there are plenty of better places to clog your arteries if you're into that sort of thing. Anyway, thought I'd throw in my two cents. Any criticism is written out of concern both for you and for anyone reading your comments, as I want them to have an accurate view of Christianity.
I've always loved this game and finally got to play it recently and I got to say that I feel like it shows what my brain is like.
It's funny seeing you speedrun it using some strats but the most basic stuff isn't used like cutting corners on the desks at the starting areas, and cutting corners of the railings on the steps going up. Also you don't need the light to get through the boxes, that wastes a ton of time. Many times when you pick things up, you turn to put them down. Most times you can just keep it in your hand and keep going straight for faster times.
I'm sure this was one of your first ventures into speedrunning the game, but it's just funny seeing some advanced strats used without the basic ones lol. Good video :)
holy crap, this actually makes my brain and eyes hurt from how smart this ENTIRE game is. the illusion and puzzles are so cool.
8:20 the most absurd sentence that has ever been uttered
Wdym
You are my favuorite speedruner keep up the good work!
just finished the vid love it keep up the good work:]
Can’t help but sense the affection the developers of this game had for Portal!
6:46 When I used to run that game a lot, I got used to doing this blind.
I still can’t fathom how the devs could make such a mind melting experience. Love this game
superliminal is actually strangely soothing, idk ehy but it actually helped me get out of a bad mood, i love this game so kuch, borderline therapy
8:30 The first time I did this level I made a big ass apple that blocked the gap that I portal jumped through. It blocked the gap so I could make all duplicate apples go to the top without being blown away. The second time I did it the easy way. Crazy how over complicated I made it, and I can't seem to make that big ass apple again.
17:53
It actually doesn't speed you up, the room just gets smaller.
being bigger in rooms does save time so it might aswell be going faster
keep the vids comin love your content
this feels like the type of game someone would think of while theyre drunk
its amazing
Good video as always Eazy!
I was unable to get through this one because of my traumatic brain injury. It kept leaving me disoriented, so it's great seeing a really good speedrun. I couldn't even get through watching regular game plays, although I love all things liminal spaces. I really appreciate it. :) Congrats on being under 500. I love when I break gaming records, but I keep that and my professional life separate.
I LOVE YOU FOR PLAYING THIS GAME IT'S A MASTERPIECE AND DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVOURITES
There's something really special about watching this, while not knowing the game at all. And being given the most mind boggling tour by Eazy. I am 10/10 confused. Brain hurts. But, also 100/10 amazing speedrun

I remember playing this game on a school night at 4AM while still on the verge of being caught by my parents. Sleep deprived and all, it was still a pretty fun experience.
This is also an entire tutorial for this game, too. Both speedrunning and teaching how to beat it.
This is just peak.
I have look for this million times. Thank you
I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos, Keep it up!💛

This game is so trippy
The msg this game has just felt great to me. Made me happy and hopeful.
Oh my goodness thank you so much for the level with the apple and fans and stairs I was about to go jump out into the road in oncoming traffic I am so grateful
I played this game time ago coz it was in the game pass,it absolutely broke my mind coz i never played or seen anything like that anywhere,there are a lot of illusions and things u just can’t imagine.
Definitely one of the most or the most trippy game ever,and it’s very cool too,wish there were more similar game.
