A few months ago I had a terrible infection which left me lying around feverish and delirious most of the time. I'd spend my evenings just lying in bed and watching random KZbin videos on my laptop via the autoplay function, all while continously fading in and out of consciousness. At some point I suddenly came back to my senses after being ripped out of a fever dream and for some unexplainable reason I had the "King of Limbo" song stuck in my head. After I reorientated myself in this world I looked over at my laptop and realized that this video has been playing and somehow must have invaded my dreams. It was such a surreal experience and over the next few days I would repeatedly get this song stuck in my mind. Really makes you appreciate what an absurd fever-dream this game is.

There's this human bittersweetness to the ending that's difficult to qualify. It's a bunch of creepy, poorly animated ghouls singing a positive, friendly song to a man stuck in Hell, enthusiastically written and performed by a clearly unusual, possibly unstable man that spent TWENTY YEARS on a passion project nobody cared about but was, regardless, immediately hit with lawsuits, and it also happens to chronicle the fictional aftermath of a real person's death hundreds of years after it occurred. Yet, to me, it also feels like the expression of a lonely person that wanted companionship. So many fucking layers...

crazy idea that explains why the audio resets when you change room: every room is it's own application. when you leave a room the application for that room is closed and a different application for the new room is opened. if this is done for rooms, or at least the audio for each room, it explains why it resets, after all it's a new application. this also seems like a system that would be really prone to crashing, especially if it's done badly, and since this is a daft way to do it in the first place you wouldn't expect a bad idea to be implemented well.

[@vinx.909]

@@elijahjarman2837 kind of, but I'm thinking it's even dumber. Garbage disposal (thoughing away data buildup) is a difficulty in programming so the invisible war thing feels more like a clever trick like the fallout nv building that is an explosion until it explodes. This game feels more like it made each room a different application in laziness. It's easier to have each room be 1 window while changing background and activatables in the same window would be actual work (and depending on how shit the system it may crash it).

@@erickschusterdeoliveira2662 let me give you an example of a game that does something similar: skyrim. ok not like this game does it. but when you run skyrim on pc you first get that small window with access to some settings right? this launcher writes to ini files that the real game you open though the launcher reads of and figures out what it should do. by doing this the game doesn't have to for instance change resolution while running. now i'm guessing limbo of the lost does this to the extreme. one safe file that every single application writes to. this way every room/application doesn't have any knowledge of other rooms, and because it needs to know of less items it'll be easier. if you have no clue on how to make a point and click adventure game well it's a pretty good way to get away with doing it terribly.

0:42 - GameBoomers is a real website - a really old one, but still active - where you can still read the forum threads where people discussed the game after it was first released. That quote, "I was immersed in the experience within the first few minutes", is from a GB reviewer called infernoj13usa, who reviewed a demo of the game in 2007 (before the full game was released), in a post titled "Limbo of The Lost: A First Look". If you can believe it, there was a GB thread ("Is Anybody Playing Limbo of the Lost?") where people (including inferno) were actually singing the game's praises, up until the point where Majestic accidentally turned everyone against them. A user named FABLE, who had helped inferno finish the game, criticized her for giving puzzle hints to other users in the Hints forum (as is standard). Majestic (posting as MSTUDIOS) backed FABLE up in the argument, which soured everyone's attitudes towards them. Then someone exposed that Majestic and FABLE were posting from the same IP address, which was the nail in the coffin, since everyone concluded that FABLE was a sockpuppet created by Majestic (though Majestic maintained he was one of their playtesters and his statements should not reflect on them). But even then, people were more so upset about Majestic than about the game itself; they still seemed to think the game was really good. It's baffling. There were some other threads about the game where people voiced a few criticisms, but mostly they seemed to agree that it was otherwise decent. I don't get it. If it had been the 90s, I might be able to understand, but this was in 2008.

In other words, the peer pressure effect exists and works in the favor of those who wish to use it. So, spelling it about a bit more, Majestic wanted to have his point of view validated. Thus he created fake accounts, to pass as real people, to try and have it seem like a crowd of people support his opinion, and also, somewhat legitimize his views.

Yep, they intermingled and everything. The search party actively observed fair skinned and fair haired native children running around, when there were none before, and just shrugged and figured it must have been ghosts that ate the settlers.

There is a documentary made on developers of this project by Mr. Tophat, called "Limbo of the Lost: A Tale of Lies, Betrayal & Plagiarism". I highly recommend it as a supplimentary to this video.

I gotta say even though the devs were a bunch of thieving bastards...I can't help but respect them because they obviously had a vision, a passion, and motivation to see it through no matter what the obvious legal ramifications.

[@chromasus9983]

Right? A project like this is absurd. This whole game and yet there's almost no assets that are actually original. It's honestly pretty amazing.

[@DinsRune]

It's one of those instances where you know you SHOULD think they're a bunch of thieving bastards, but you look at the game and suddenly you CAN'T be mad at them.

[@NoriMori1992]

And you even have to hand it to whoever was actually responsible for stealing all those assets: They were DEDICATED. The sheer number and variety of games they stole from, and the fact that even the tiniest of details were stolen (often from pretty obscure sources)… It's impressive in its sheer thoroughness.

I am amazed someone went through this much effort, plagarized so much, wrote a song and created backstory all for this piece of shit. This game comes off like TempleOS and those other passion projects of autistic or demented people who don't know when to stop. >__>

@@planescaped except templeOS is actually amazing.

36:37 Dude, I commend you on using Marv's electrocuted screams as a running gag WHENEVER electricity is involved. Never fails to get a chuckle out of me.
