    I want to hear the music to the game so I can know where they stole that from.

    Wow...even the title is stolen...

    edit: So yeah, the book is about mysterious ship disappearances, including the Mary Celeste...which is where the game begins. This is BEYOND ridiculous.

    Just.. this is the best piece of writing, ever
    Do you believe in Fate or Destiny? If not, maybe you should reconsider as the twin brothers, Fate and Destiny, are battling for supremacy over Mankind!

    So yeah, I just found this interview with the Project Director. The guy just sounds like a complete tool.

    http://www.quandaryland.com/jsp/dispArticle.jsp?index=795

    Some highlights:
    Gordon: So have any more recent games influenced your current project?

    Steve: The project is more influenced by film and literature rather than other games, we want the experience to be as original as possible and as such we have made a calculated effort to keep away from other games in the genre. Limbo of the Lost is an experience first and foremost, secondly wrapped up in a game media and genre.
    Gordon: During the long gestation for this game, what sort of changes have you made to bring it up to date.

    Steve: All of the game (apart from initial background story and some character designs) had to be re-written, all the characters had to be created in 3D and animated, all the background scenes re-created, all the sounds, coding and music?..basically everything had to be redone or newly created for the PC version. This is not an old game that has been dressed up. This is the original concept, dusted off and re-created.
    Gordon: Finally, is there anything more about the game you'd like to share with us, and do you have any more projects on the drawing board?

    Steve: I could talk about this project for hours but I would prefer you to play, experience and enjoy it, so I will hush up for now. But before I say a fond farewell I will tell you this much, If anyone can honestly tell me after playing the game that they did not have an enjoyable gaming experience or have a favorite character that they have met whilst playing the game, I will never mention or speak of the sequel — LIMBO of the LOST II — Temptations of Tarot.

    Oh...there's a sequel planned...ToT... o_O


    I am truly in awe of the massive and blatant incompetence of these people.

    People, people...this isn't a point and click adventure game, it's a "spot the easter egg" game, only in this case the eggs are giant turds and you're in a bathroom.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this was their plan all along- look at the free fucking publicity they're getting! Now everyone is going to want the game.

    I don't know if anyone could be that stupid to think they could get away with this shit.

    Man, you're going to love the sequel.

    Do you believe in Magic or Spells? If not, maybe you should reconsider as the twin cousins, Magic and Spells, are battling for supremacy over Magiciankind!

    And just wait 'til they complete the trilogy.

    Do you believe in Joy or Cheer? If not, maybe you should reconsider as the twin uncles-twice-removed, Joy and Cheer, are battling for supremacy over the Kingdom of YOUR SOUL!

    edit: Man, that is so sig'd.

    Then I'm just gonna go through my Steam list, take a screenshot from every game, paste into Powerpoint and make my own damned Limbo of the Lost.

    Except I'll have to title it something like Lambada of the Lonely.

    No, what you do is get X people and X backgrounds then have each person take one and write that segment when it's their turn. Assemble. Win.

    I guess the real question is it wrong to pirate this game because it's a horrible abomination or because it's maybe wrong?
