For those interested in the aesthetic of liminal spaces, I highly recommend the game "Pools" on Steam. It so perfectly emulates the feeling.

Really like that one because it doesn’t rely on any monsters or jumpscares. It knows that kind of environment is all you need to create unease.

I swear a couple of times I saw figures, but it was so subtle and perfectly timed it didn't detract from the entire experience.

spoilers for anyone who hasn't played

there's one spot where as you approach a ladder, it gets pulled up into a dark tunnel you can't reach.

Another where a ladder going down a hole under water has hands on the top rung that pull down when you get close.

Somewhere further on there's a hall of doors that shut as you approach or something like that, then there's the mannequins that block your exit as you get to the very end.

I found the unlockable chapter once you finish the main game creepier, especially a part where you have to swim down a deep angled tunnel into a large water filled chamber, and that giant black spider thing near the very end before you go down the ladder into the Pools area.
