A metaphorical representation of childhood abandonment -- like being trapped in a state of limbo. The absence of love engulfs us with profound sadness and the only thing we can do is to venture forth to search for it. However, where can we find a love that is genuine? For we are only mere children embarking in a real world that's full of evil and danger. However, this further compels us to confront and conquer what lies ahead, even though life is a constant motion of trial-and-error experience. Our own thinking and actions become our sole companions because frankly, there is no one to guide and help us.

Despite the anticlimactic ending, "Limbo" is still a great game with its challenging gameplay and atmospheric black-and-white visuals.
