In this study the background music that was being played influenced the wine choice of customers. They found out that when French music played, French wine outsold German wine, however when German music played, German wine outsold French wine (North). For example in a study conducted by psychologist Adrian North, researchers decided to play French music and German music to see how it would impact wine sales. As a result supraliminal messages influences us by causing us to think about aspects of a message that are related. In our semantic network each node that holds similar or related information is connected if one area of our semantic network is activated then other areas are too. This involves “ spreading activation in your semantic network ,” where every concept that you have knowledge of is represented as a node. Similar to the Fitzsimons study that involved subliminal presentation of the Apple logo to increase creativity, supraliminal messages cause people to think about things that are related to the message presented. Unlike subliminal messages, supraliminal messages contain a stimulus that people can actually notice, but since people don’t know that it’s influencing their behavior. ![]() Overall, Superliminal is an innovative 1st person puzzle game which creative puzzles that break your perception of reality.According to Nick Kolenda, a marketing research analyst and stage mind reader, supraliminal messages involve a stimulus that has both a conscious and subconscious influence. ![]() These puzzles are fresh and imaginative, and are sure to have you going “oooooh, so that’s how you do it!”. The first rule to this game is forget everything you think you know about puzzle games. The whole thing is a dreamland gone haywire. This game is sure to give you a fresh perspective on those issues.Each level introduces a new, more difficult, aspect of your dreamland. The game does deal heavy topics like self-doubt and worthlessness. It gets progressively harder as the game goes on, then near the end gets pretty easy, which is strange. Sometimes the jazz music stops entirely, which is extremely unnerving. The only sound besides the occasional recording is soft jazz music which can make any other sounds spooky. Sometimes as you walk, doors randomly slam, which can give the impression someone is following you, which is spooky. There are many dark hallways, and sometimes you fall through the floor, which can surprise you. ![]() There is an agenda on the wall that reads: Murder Murder Murder Murder Murder Murder BEANS which can be unnerving. There is some paint splattered on the floor to look like blood. As for violence goes, it is really just eerie. There is no real interaction with other characters. There are no hints, so you can spend hours on a puzzle with little success.The little guidance you have is through a recording. (not literally, of course) There is little guidance, which makes it harder. When you finally solve a puzzle, it feels very rewarding, which makes up for all the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into the level. While there is little violence, the puzzles are complicated and even the adults in your family might have trouble solving them. That’s the reality for Superliminal, a mind-bending, slightly spooky game. ![]()
