Limbo is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer set in a sinister, monochromatic world.

However, the story as a whole can also be seen as a metaphor for the search for companionship and getting around in a new environment.
Not a single clue is given at the start, there are no cut-scenes and the game starts right away.
In that world filled with hazards and danger, his means are few and he is extremely vulnerable.
Only two buttons are used, a feeble jump and one to perform an action, combined with movement.
This allows him to explore the world and hang on ledges, slide down slopes, push objects, pull levers, and cling to ropes, but the player has to make most of what is present in the environment to get by, often with physics-based elements.
The gloomy world has a dusty filter showing the game through misted glass, and no vivid colours are present.
It is divided into 24 chapters that seamlessly flow into each other, only from the level selection in the main menu can be derived where a new chapter starts.
The world is rendered in 2D but with different layers of depth in the scenery.
It moves from a forest to an abandoned city and eventually an industrial zone.
The player faces three kinds of challenges.
There are obstacles where The Boy simply needs to find a way to progress, there are dangerous creatures that hunt him down and try to kill them, and finally there is a gang of children who band together to ward off the intruder and set up traps for him, with a touch of Lord of the Flies .
Encounters with other humans are however brief and rare.
These account for most of the horror moments, of the psychological kind, with other unnerving sequences like when the player is forced to use the corpses of other children as a bridge.
Music and sound effects are minimal and there are no on-screen elements referring to health or other statistics.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Limbo (itch) for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Limbo (itch) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2016.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Limbo (itch) — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
