02 — What is LIMINAL

Horror isn't just the theme

LIMINAL is a psychological horror trading card game where every Entity plays differently. Build Fear, corrupt the Location and complete your Entity's ritual before your opponent can stop you.

Unique Entities

Every Entity has its own mechanics, strategy and victory path.

Locations Matter

Each match takes place in a haunted Location that changes how fear spreads.

Fear Is Your Resource

Build Fear, unlock new abilities and bring your nightmare to life.

03 — Core Gameplay

How horror becomes gameplay

Every match in LIMINAL is built around four core systems. Together they create a horror experience where strategy, fear and unique Entities replace traditional combat.

The first page of the notebook

LIMINAL started as a single question scrawled in a notebook margin. Before any cards, any art, or any rules — there was only an idea about where fear actually lives. This is where the whole project begins.

Defining the core systems

With the core idea in place, the next challenge was turning a feeling into rules. Entities, Locations, Manifestations and Fear had to become systems that actually played well against another person at a table.

Finding the look of a nightmare

Art direction is where LIMINAL stopped being a rules document and started being a world. This entry covers the decision to reject every obvious horror cliché in favour of quiet, cinematic restraint.
