🎮 Gameplay:
In the game Limbo, players control a boy navigating a two-dimensional world with platforming elements. The dark, greyscale graphics and minimalist sounds create an eerie atmosphere. The game includes various hazards like bear traps and monsters hidden in the shadows. The second half introduces mechanical puzzles and traps involving machinery, electromagnets, and gravity. Deaths are frequent, and players can restart at checkpoints. Some traps can be turned to the player's advantage. Limbo is described as a "trial and death" game, featuring optional gore with achievements such as finding hidden insect eggs and completing the game with minimal deaths.
