    I think I just don’t have the liminal space gene. I’ve watched Severance and have seen a ton of other spaces people call liminal but I’ve never felt anything creepy or unsettling about them at all.

      It’s a space that has no purpose except transit. Therefore there is no thought of comfort in its design. When you see these spaces your brain has a reaction of “getting through it as soon as possible”. There is probably also something in our ancient survival instinct that lingering in open space like that could be fatal.
