There's nothing wrong with the concept of using liminal spaces in a horror game, there's nothing that much special about it either to the point you can just drop everything else and make it the only thing in the game, SH in general, 3 specially, makes great use of the concept to enhanced the atmosphere of the games, but they also have many other elements complementing it, Backrooms is just Silent Hill by lazy people.

execution matters more than whatever concept you have of plot "depth", just the SH2 monster introduction scene has more artirstry in it than the entirety of the demake or this new F slop combined.

SH3 did liminal spaces better than any modern slop.
