Superliminal (previously Museum of Simulation Technology) is a 2019 surreal puzzle video game released by Pillow Castle Games. The game, played from a first-person perspective, incorporates gameplay elements around optical illusions and forced perspective; notably, certain objects when picked up can be moved towards or away from the player, but when placed back down, scale to the size as the player had viewed them, enabling the player to solve otherwise impossible puzzles to complete the game.

Superliminal was released for macOS and Windows in November 2019, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in July 2020, for Linux in November 2020, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in November 2022. It received generally positive reviews from critics. Multiplayer support and other modes were added to the game after launch.
