A silhouette and a sister. Death is a spike. Short, bleak, and fair. Not cheerful, not gore.

The review
A silhouette and a sister. Death is a spike. Short, bleak, and fair. Not cheerful, not gore.
Limbo is for adults. Fear is the material. Do not hand it to a teenager to prove they can take it, and do not laugh off what it asks you to look at.
Journal
Keep Limbo in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 38. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Yoshi's Island
55 instead of 38
Yoshi's Island is still a platform game, and it scores 55 instead of 38. What you gain is stewardship: A child can carry a little joy out of Yoshi's Island and still have a day left.
The eight
- 7Industry
Survival in Limbo is work. Panic is the tax.
- 3Household
The household, if there is one, is already broken. That is the fear.
- 1Piety
Dread is not reverence. Do not confuse the two in Limbo.
- 6Courage
Going forward anyway is the only bravery on offer.
- 3Republic
No city to keep. A private terror.
- 3Temperance
Limbo can linger past the point. You are allowed to quit.
- 5Truth
The best of Limbo tells you what the fear is really about.
- 2Stewardship
Take nothing home from it but the decision that you have had enough.
