Thank you so much to everyone on the team! You're all incredible and I couldn't have done this without you :3 You've all helped me bring Limbo to life and I love you all <3
(and extra thanks to Reece Shearsmith & Steve Pemberton who wrote the episode of Inside No.9 that inspired me to make this! They are a pair of absolute legends :3)

Need a walkthrough for the game? Go here!
Having trouble opening the game on Mac? Check out this post containing all the information I've managed to gather from helpful Mac users and general web scouring.
Does your game freeze or crash after reaching a loading screen when you first meet Nyari (pink-haired catgirl)? Please try downloading the file for your respective system marked 'Potato Version'. This version of the game is split into smaller chunks with more loading screens in order to help lessen the strain on lower-spec systems :3
General Controls:
Spacebar/mouseclick/scrollwheel = advance
Scrollwheel also rewinds
L = Log
H = Hide the text box
To report any pesky bugs or typos, head here to see what I'm already aware of + to submit new reports.
If you need help with anything, or just wanna drop me a message about the game, feel free to post a comment, or send me an email: melancholicmarionette@gmail.com
If you enjoyed playing through the game (or even if you didn't xD), I'd really appreciate hearing your feedback in the comments + ratings are much appreciated too ^-^
And if you'd like to explore more of Limbo, Deadly Desires: LOVESTARVED (demo) is out now! It's set in the same universe & even takes place around the same time as Limbo Line's events at SSL :3
You don't have to have played one to play the other, as each game has its own story & cast of characters. In LOVESTARVED, you play as a human residing in Limbo's Arcadia district who encounters an enigmatic sithys escort by the name of Erys.
This game will always be available to download for free! If you enjoyed playing it, you're welcome to buy me a coffee, or support other projects I'm working on by becoming a patron :3
I couldn't have made this game alone, please also consider supporting the amazing people who helped me bring Limbo to life <3
