Double H Productions Releases Tape 101: Liminal Descent on Steam
Tying each chapter to one of the five stages gives the liminal-space format a structural spine, and the RC car opens routes the player character cannot physically take, which is where the puzzles come from.

Double H Productions has released Tape 101: Liminal Descent, a psychological horror game set in liminal spaces shaped by the five stages of grief from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Players use an RC car to enter ventilation ducts, gaps under doors, and crevices, collecting items and activating devices. Each chapter reflects one stage of the model. The game is available on Steam at 15 percent off until September 26.
The RC car is the mechanical hook. It reaches ventilation ducts, the gaps under doors, and crevices the player cannot enter, and it collects items and activates devices from there. The rest of the design follows from that constraint: repetitive minimal architecture that distorts the senses, and puzzles solved by observation rather than combat or flight. Double H Productions built the chapters around the five stages of grief from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, so emotion, memory, and space move together as the story descends.
