“Boy uncertain of his sister’s faith enters limbo” is the tag line of the absolutely beautiful game currently in development by Playdead, an independent game studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The game takes on a journey of a boy that transverses through the ‘horrible world’ challenged by obstacles which gradually more difficult and more hostile (see video interview at the bottom with Mads Wibroe, the producer). Somewhat influenced by film noir, the game is a solitary, dark, black, silhouette filled journey filled with soft depth blur to describe mood. No text, no music, in “Limbo” you are in the game, alone, in the dark.
The Playdead game studio was founded by Arnt Jensen and Dino Patti in 2006. Limbo is Playdead’s first production and its first game to be published.
Limbo won Excellence In Visual Art and Technical Excellence award at the IGF earlier year. You can read the full interview with the PlayDead’s CEO Dino Patti on IFC.com. You can find more information on the game by visiting limbogame.org." -
