- Backrooms: Rogue 0 I Teaser - 10 July 2026
Hello everyone, dear liminal space lovers! The teaser for our new project, Backrooms: Rogue 0, is now live — and we wanted to share the news with you! Rogue 0 is built on the liminal/Backrooms aesthetic, but unlike Liminal Shift, it's a much faster-paced experience — and this time, the Backrooms are not empty. Creatures are waiting inside... If that sounds interesting, you can learn more on the store page — and most importantly, you can support us by adding it to your wishlist and following the game. We are endlessly grateful for all the support you've given us from the very beginning. One of the biggest ways you can support us right now is by leaving a review for Liminal Shift if you haven't already. We love you all!

- ANNOUNCEMENT - 30 April 2025
Hello everyone, First of all, I want to apologize for the delay. A lot has happened, and those who joined our Discord server (currently around 100 members) are already aware of most of the news. If you'd like to support the development, share your ideas, or just stay in the loop, feel free to join us too. So, I’ll keep this announcement brief and to the point. Unfortunately, there is no longer a team behind the project. As many of you know, NextPhase was a small group of developers. However, due to financial constraints and life circumstances, NextPhase is now a solo-dev operation. There's no need to worry—everything is still on track. The entire concept of Liminal Shift, its artistic direction, and design have always been mine as the creator and lead developer. These changes won’t affect the quality of the game, but the roadmap has shifted and, unfortunately, development will take a bi…

Your ideas will play a significant role in Episode 2. Now for the bad news: Due to the small size of our team and financial challenges, we unfortunately have to indefinitely…
