Alternatively it wasn't a bug and you didn't walk left at the beginning.

Great ending, really sad too.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

Loved the use of music towards the ending. The using it to indicate when the gravity would reverse was genius.

I managed to do the whole thing without looking at a guide, chuffed.

Well, that was rather unexpected.

I hadn't read up on this at all and decided to get it on the back of seeing some stills and a recommendation from one of my friend's who's playing it.

The 18+ rating and 'gore' warning at the start threw me right off! Loving it so far though, great graphical style and excellent mood and atmosphere setting.

The spiders though........*shudders*

Well this game is proving to be an unexpected gem! I'm about a quarter of the way through, very impressed! Simple, yet brilliant.

Another world is crap, take of those rose tinted specs and replay it again. It's horrific.

After playing this I bought it off gog.com and i'm really enjoying it so there's no rose tint here. I also thought Limbo was fun, if a little overpriced.

Precisely what I said on the podcast we recorded yesterday. Played it at the weekend and man alive, what a rotten turd of a game.

I couldnt get past the opening screen therefore it sucks.


Pell's completed Limbo with a percentage of around 110%, and is probably one of the best gamers on here.

You said he couldn't get off the first screen.

No, but you intimated that he found it too hard. I didn't think you genuinely thought he got stuck on the first screen and gave up.
