We compute the exact path integral of N=2 \mathcal{N} = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with general gauge group on ℝℙ4^{4} and a ℤ2_{2}-quotient of the hemi-S4^{4}. By specializing to SU(2) superconformal quivers, we show that these, together with hemi-S4^{4} partition functions, compute Liouville correlators on unoriented/open Riemann surfaces. We perform explicit checks for Riemann surfaces obtained as ℤ2_{2} quotients of the sphere and the torus. We also discuss the coupled 3d−4d systems associated to Liouville amplitudes with boundary punctures.
