Welcome, once again to another of my adventures with the camera, this time I mainly bring you a video game that many should already know for its name full of mystery "Limbo", and I say that this game represents very well its name, because for me Limbo is a place where many souls are lost (especially children) without escape or direction, it's like that place where you don't know where you come from or what your purpose is, although it is also full of inexplicable and mysterious events (that's what I believe and think about "Limbo") but you can also share your perspective on this matter, it would be interesting to read it...
As I already explained in that brief description of what the video game "Limbo" is about, you already have an idea of how and where it is set...
I appeared on the grass lying, I don't know where I come from or what my name is, first I got up and shook a little confused, I realized that I was a little boy vulnerable to the new world that surrounded me between shadows and mystery.
I started to explore this place, although everything seemed very dark, I still strangely kept moving forward without any problem, but... Suddenly, I felt a fear mainly because of this emptiness, what if there is no one here, am I completely alone?
With every step I took I felt even more that loneliness that accompanied me in the sound of the breeze of the big trees. I didn't understand anything about that place, because after a moment I suddenly saw that everything here wanted to see me dead, among bear traps and even a gigantic spider! Now it was chasing me and unfortunately I fell into its sticky nest, but luckily it only wrapped me up turning me into a white silk cocoon, now I had to escape and jumping like in a sack race, I managed to escape from its hairy legs that by the way now give me a phobia.
I was terrified, but something was screaming for me to keep moving forward, not to give up to get answers, and some human-like beings received me with traps and wanted to see me dead, but I wanted an alliance, but I could not, there I hit rock bottom, because I discovered that in this world you should not trust anyone, not even your shadow.
Even stronger was the moment when I saw some corpses hanging, that gave me to understand that those people lost their sanity and above all the hope to end their lives. So if in this place everything turns out to be a risk, including our own mind.
I regained my hope only for a few seconds when I saw that in this place apparently people lived in a more normal way, because there were some huge words that formed the word "HOTEL", a very nice detail that gave a little life to this place with its flashing lights.
My doubts were emerging again: what happened to everyone who lived here, what happened in this place to be so devastated, can I get out of here alive, none of my doubts still have answers, but I still try to keep my hope, I hope that once I leave here I can tell my story ... I hope so.
Well, guys, if you read my post up to here I want to clarify that this is one of those few video games that have left me with a feeling of uneasiness and fear of the unknown, because as I advanced in each chapter it was increasingly difficult, because I did not know what to expect, a simple branch in this game could mean danger.
The visual art, despite being dark and gloomy, I loved it, because it achieves its purpose very well, that's why I brought several pictures of the most important moments, thanks for reading and appreciating these captures!
I recommend you to try it if you are a lover of platform and mystery videogames, because Limbo can be an interesting adventure.
