    i think this could be really good but the fact it is called liminal land is a little too on the nose for me. like it removes all potential horror of the unknown, like the intentions of the park, etc. i’m taken out of the horror whenever i see them say liminal because it’s feels like it’s legit just pointing out exactly what the want to spook you, which doesn’t leave much to the imagination (where so much of the horror of liminal spaces comes from)

      Personally I'm kinda tired of how souless the story feels at times. From anomalies to glitched faces, it gets pretty old quick. The concept of the people wanting to go into a ride and then constantly repeat it is interesting, but the rest of it feels very underwhelming.

    I've seen the Liminal Land series, and I don't think anyone's made this connection, but there's an avant-garde silent film from the 1920s called "Metropolis." It's very critical of capitalism and how it kills more people than it helps with the factory as the place setting. One of the most significant and disturbing scenes in the movie is when the factory is revealed to be an alter to Moloch, continuously fed victims of factory accidents in the name of profit. Moloch is portrayed as a god of success, prosperity, and human progress that requires human sacrifice in order to for the sacrificers to maintain that wealth. I don't know if Nick or Nexpo have seen the film and drew inspiration from it, but the parallels between the stories makes me believe they did.

    As a New Mexico native, I can say that putting the park in Lake Valley is so weird because to call it a "bump in the road town" would be putting it *mildly* to say the least. It's sat between Deming and Hillsboro and even then you'd have to be going *that specific route* to even pass it, since it's at least twenty to thirty minutes away from every other major road.

    Naming the park "Liminal Land" and setting it in the 80s is a fascinating study on current trends and interests.
    Right now we love retro aesthetics (back in The Good Old Days when we maybe could have felt safe and happy) and oddly-familiar everyplaces full of deja vu (if we're going to feel weird we want to be able to do it on purpose). While philosophers and designers have been discussing "liminal" and "non" places for decades, it wasn't so much a popular interest in decades past. The pop culture of the 80s was more drawn to big, loud, or unapologetically weird adventures. Think "Action Park" (and for the purposes of this video, all its controversies). If Nexpo and Nick Crowley were aiming for period authenticity, they would have decided the park was named "The Everything Park" or something like that. By naming it "Liminal Land", it distinctly brands the park as a 21st century imagination set within the late 20th century. An incongruity. Something that feels just a little off. An alternate history that doesn't just ask "what if the past was different", it asks "what if we had the present but in the past". I could really get into that kind of a thing.
