Before I begin, I would like to say, this game is very ambiguous with its story. One can only grasp at straws in deciphering meaning. There's nothing wrong with that. I mean you could look up the plot online and the theories are just as mindblowing!! Even then, that doesn't automatically mean they'd be 100% correct. Thus, it is very much open-ended. I like that word~



The Gist; (At Least In My Opinion)
Something terrible has happened. You may or not be..... Well, its not good. Alas, you must press forward! Believe in your search for familiar faces, that you still have a purpose in Limbo. At the end, perhaps its fate. A blessing in disguise? Perhaps what life has to offer will always be beyond us.


(a) Nothing Is As It Seems
Minimalistic, but artistic nonetheless. Less is more, as they say...

(b) Solace in Death
Controls were easy to learn and master.

(c) Life's Greatest Riddle
Physics-based puzzles can be absolutely thought-provoking. Most require timing and a large deal of trial & error. A challenge Is that you try not to look up solutions :P (I dare ya). I just very recently conquered the game (cheat-free) cue the eyerolls.

(d) I Can't See[/b]
Right blend of darkness and or monochromatic color palette (in fact 98% of the game). The hostility of the environment and well-mixed sound effects further pull you in. Lastly, a fair warning for arachnophobes and claustrophobes, beware!!



(i) Speechless
Whimsical, however it can be tough to dismantle out the story elements. Which I guess is the main point? I don't think there has been a definitive answer as to what lies beyond this life.

(ii) Life's Too Short
The overall story is minimal. With the puzzles being the only thing that stalls for time (thus the selling point) and once it is done- it's over. Well up to a point, because you still have to figure out the ending. THEN it is truly over... not.



To conclude, nobody knows what to expect after death and this game illustrates one popular religious interpretation. I found myself wandering directionless way too many times because of the increasingly challenging puzzles that required quite a bit of backtracking. It incurred feelings of rage, sadness and at times triumph- which I think perfectly describes Limbo. There's no place I'd rather be. Not that I'm asking for it~
