Oct. 2025

Minimalist yet haunting. Smart puzzles, tight controls, and a chilling atmosphere that sticks with you after the credits. Short but memorable. A must-play if you appreciate mood and design over dialogue.

Aug. 2025

This game is dark, creepy, and atmospheric… It’s a pretty short game… overall, a great indie platformer with gorgeous visuals…

July 2025

This game will take you 3 or 4 hours in total. There is nothing in the game to tell you the story and the story of the game depends on your guesses and guesses. Is this a dream? Has the main character fallen into a coma? Are all the enemies that exist a symbol of human fears? Is the limbo that this boy is stuck in a path to salvation? Is he dead or is he just looking for his lost sister? These are the questions that you should ask yourself and answer after breaking limbo. Overall, the game does not have special challenges or graphics and its focus is on the theories that you will come to after playing.

Limbo is great for its black and white game design. A unique monochrome puzzle-platformer + black twisted "humor" combined with creepy impressions. Take your time to find out what awaits you at the end of this story - there is a very dark surprise hiding around every corner. Enjoy. And then repeat. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526502016 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526502443 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526517972

June 2025

This game has literally zero dialogue and zero cutscenes but somehow I still felt bad for the boy at the end. It’s kinda heartbreaking to watch. And that alone shows how good the game is. The only downside is that it’s really short. You can finish it in roughly 2 to 3 hours. Other than that the levels are fun and I had a good time solving the puzzles. Overall it’s a solid 8/10 for me.
