Research-led studio · London & York

Story-led interactive experiences for mental health.

Liminal Senses is a small research-led studio founded by Cristobal Catalan, who holds a PhD in health sciences and interactive media from the University of York. We design calm, slow, evidence-informed games and tools — and publish what we learn.
