LIMBO

Overview

Uncertain of his sister's fate, a boy enters LIMBO.

Limbo is a puzzle-platform game that features a minimalist black-and-white visual style, marked by stark contrasts of shadow and light that create a dark and enigmatic atmosphere. In it, the player takes control of an anonymous boy who awakens in a mysterious forest and embarks on a silent and solitary journey through hostile environments. The gameplay is based on side-scrolling exploration and overcoming obstacles by solving environmental puzzles, where failure often leads to death and teaches the solution. Without dialogues or explanatory texts, the storyline is suggested only through the scenery, the atmosphere, and the subtle soundtrack, leaving the narrative open to interpretation and giving the game a melancholic and intriguing tone that earned it wide recognition as a work of art among independent games.
