As the consequences of a plan set in motion long ago start to unveil,will love be the key to your freedom, or the first chapter of your downfall?

CONTENT WARNING
Lost in Limbo is rated +17. Beware of flashing lights, disturbing imagery, mild horror, mild jumpscares, implicit and suggestive sexual scenes and discussions, sensitive topics such as toxic family relationships, anxiety, depression, depictions of alcohol / drug use, etc.



God and creator of Limbo, Father Pride watches over the peace and well-being of his realm, but the life of a god can be solitary. When he welcomes you with open arms, his kindness draws you in...and a perturbing omen makes you stay.



Unapologetically so, Lord Amon lives his life to the fullest and indulges in as many pleasures as he can. His dissarming personality could put anyone at ease, but the Golden Dragon is not as harmless as everyone wants to believe.
VA: Brian Vaughn



Dedicated and brave, Praefectus Raeya takes her role as Limbo's protector extremely seriously, but the truth behind the realm's darkest times will soon put her loyalty —and her ability to keep you out of harm's way— to the test.



Pronounced [ɡaˈel]
Current Master of the Grand Houses, Gael’s sweet and noble persona won the hearts of the citizens of Limbo and has ensured his position for the past five elections. However, the beloved Master has a secret that could end his reputation and plunge his already torn city into chaos.
VA:Abi Kumar



Stripped of their name and shunned after committing treason, the Sovereign now known as Lord Envy lives a life of solitude and confinement.Will you be able to break down the walls they have built around themselves for centuries, or will you remain a prisoner in his castle for all eternity?
VA: Aaron Moy



Kind and caring, Ara is not only determined to make your time in Limbo a happy thing to remember, but also to make things go back to the way they were, no matter the cost. Her dazzling smile hides an ambition and a determination that could serve you well—if both your goals are as aligned as she swears them to be.
VA: Zaria Weems



As the youngest Sovereign, no one expects anything from Xal, not even himself. He is seen as a good-for-nothing and a poor excuse of a god, but you two are about to prove everyone wrong. For better or worse, he's the only one who can help you, but what if Xal needs you as much as you need him?

So, I'm currently still playing the demo, but I just wanted to say I love all the updates we've gotten!! <3 The art is so pretty, too; I never noticed how grabbable Envy's waist was until now... They're so pretty and it is NOT fair. Also, Gael looks so elegant and princely, I had to take a minute while playing to just.. Admire him. He is so breathtaking and charming and HWKSHFJsjwhf (dies)
I love all of the voice actors too, they're AMAZING! Usually I don't like the voices for visual novels because the voice actors never match the characters, but that is not a problem for this VN at all. Every VA is perfect for the character they're voice acting (especially MC's Mama, Xal, and Amon)!! Kudos to all the talented voice actors in this VN, you guys are wonderful.
OKAYY I could literally go on and on about this VN, but then I'd be here for like 5 years so!! A+ game, beautiful art, voice acting is spot on, writing is phenomenal and the story is engaging. Great work!!
I can't unsee it now! D:
Your demo is all well and good, BUT Intro Mom says it's almost 8 o'clock, while the kitchen clock actually shows that it's only “almost 6 o'clock.”
Now I have questions!
Is my mom lying to me? Is the kitchen clock broken? Is there some cosmic time shift that I just can't comprehend? Or do I just have a problem with numbers AND can't read the clock without numbers?!
This inconsistency is driving me crazy! Help! (´Д`)
You know, I was almost disappointed when I started anew. I rather liked the way the old version just kind of chucked you into things going wrong, so starting with the cliched "wake up to your normal life" I was kinda sad.
But then I met Abuela and nothing else matters, her in-person inclusion elevates this game. 10/10. The rest of the fleshing out and expansion was nice as well, especially the care taken in all the art assets and one on one conversations with the LIs (though only makes me sadder imagining how long I'll need to wait to buy this in full), but Grandma stole my heart. Dearest Vivi will have to be content with #2.
(Side note, but I have to congratulate whoever decided to put a bow on Ominous-Eyeball-chan the next morning. I laughed aloud and was immediately endeared. Great choice!)
Wow- the visuals are so beautiful in this game!! Literally every scene, every background, every character is so gorgeous. I haven't been so amazed by the looks of a visual novel in ages. And the STORY!! I'm so entranced, I find myself checking constantly for updates (even when I don't expect them at all haha) and just replaying to see if I'll notice something I didn't before, try new combinations, enjoy the music a little longer. And the voice calling us from the tower... ngl I kinda want to just sprint at it to see what's up. They seem so desperate for us to make it, part of me wants to just bite the bullet there haha!
Definitely looking forward to more in the future- dying to know what happens!
I just completed the demo and it is incredible! The music, characters, and dialogue are amazing. In the game you can choose your pronouns and they have an auto feature which is really nice. I love that its on steam, itch io, and the Samsung app store. It was so good and I can't wait for the future updates and full game!!
I like Envy better because he actually was willing to let you go, even if it means you get killed.
I STRONGLY dislike the other guy you meet first.
Because he refuse to give you a choice.
I don't give a damn what reason he has for it. He's an asshole for forcing you.
No amount of good intention can change that.
So I will say this:
The game could be better if you actually was allowed to leave and get yourself killed when you had the chance. BEFORE going to the tower.
Envy says he is giving you a choice, but you do NOT get a choice.
It would be so easy to let the player choose to take his hand or not, and let them figh slugs till they die, or just have a death scene from a group of slugs attacking.
It feels less like a prison where you want to kick and scream and reject everything if you TRULY had a choice.
Consequences be damned.

Take 2:
....Gael creeps me out.... >_>; He sends my suspicion level up to max and then some.
I like Envy a million times better. He feels way more trustworthy.
....and Gael freaks me out even more....
Ah. I was proven right. He IS someone not to trust.
They are clearly going about things the wrong way if the want someone to help them tho.
Just about every second action makes me feel like killing them out of pure spite.
....Pride freaks me out like mad too. >_>;There's something extremely creepy and dangerous about him.
I don't like Ara. At all.
Xal is kinda funny tho....I kinda like him. Just a little.
I don't see why they insist on calling you a guest when you're pretty much a prisoner.(And I'm a little sad you can't point that out to them.)
(To be fair, I'd probably tell them to just kill me and be done with it, because it's bound to be better than whatever they've planned for me.
I hate people who claim to be good while doing shit that is clearly evil --like stealing your freedom.
I'd have more respect for them if they openly proclaimed they were evil. I'd expect the shit they did and be less pissed off at them for it if they had, ironically enough.)
I am honestly beginning to hope there will be a chance later in the game to join the tower. For better or worse.
Consequences be damned.
I still don't get how you can feel remotely relieved that a bunch of egocentric people out to save their own hide 'takes care of you' for reasons you do not understand, while they expect something from you that you don't know if you'll even want to do for them.
You're basically a kidnapped prisoner halfway on the way to become a slave.
With the only other option to risk death by fleeing into a hostile land where you know for a fact your home isn't.
Not a situation to relax in. Nor people to trust.
Non the less this is a good game.
And the second play-trough let me notice more of the story, and it seems a well-written one.
The biggest problem is that you are surounded by enemies on all sides, and the mc does not act like she is.
(The again, Envy called her an empty-headed idiot or the likes, so I will choose to believe the mc is intentionally meant to be a brain-dead moron --in which case her behavior is perfectly in-character.
Which makes it a little bit less frustrating when she does dumb things like trusting her enemy.)
I don't know who the guy in the beginning of the game is, but I really, REALLY hope he's romancable! ❤️
He's the dreamiest dream-guy ever. ^_^
(I know, bad pun. lol)
How on EARTH you can relax with a person so suspicious as the soothsayer tho is beyond me.
(In fairness; I might have bolted right around the point he knew more about me than just village rumors.)
The seemingly 'difficult' choice is NOT a choice!! >_<
ALL choices lead to the same, EVEN if it's NOT the choice the arrow is drawn too. >_<
Why not have all the choices say the same damned thing then?
Why pretend a choice exist if there is non? >_>
...I may have changed my mind about the dream guy.
I might just destroy him, his dream, and everything he holds dear instead!
And join his enemy and ruin his plans! *glares*
(I don't appreciate being forced into things.
I DO appreciate the chance of taking horrible, painful vengeance on people who try, however. So I keep my fingers crossed that is an option in this game.)
...I would also have stabbed the guy who grabbed you while fleeing from the monster. It is NOT wise to trust someone who randomly grabs you.
Why is it not a choice to stab him and run?
Of course the mc is dumb enough to listen to a voice in her head... But I am going to chalk that up to some kind of compulsion spell.
(Otherwise she's dumber than I thought.)
Small writing error: The guy say I trusted him once before, and I need to do so again.... I did NOT trust him. Not once. Not even a little.
It would be better if you changed what he says there based on your trust level from before.
I also wish you had the choice to call the guy a kidnapper and try to run away.
I may not particularly -want- to go to the voice, personally.... but I'd still like to have the CHOICE to do so.
(And I might want to try on another walktrough, once I am less pissed off at the guy who dragged me there.
If he really is the guy from the beginning dream, I do like his personality.)
--
Now that my irritation over being dragged around against my will is over, and done pissing me off, and I am marginally more objective....
As a game....
The story is actually pretty interesting, and the art is very good.
I DO wish you have more choices to fight everyone off and reject everyone and everything and keep trying to escape.
I also wish the choices -mattered-.
Even IF your choices lead to bad ends.
Because it is ALWAYS better to be able to make a bad choice than to not have a choice at all.
(And if the guys who kidnapp-saved you didn't want you there, it would cost them nothing to let you go.
Even if it means you get eaten by monsters.
And there should be a choice to try and run away, even if you end up in the hands of the voice who brought you there, should you survive the monsters.
....actually, taking his route would make a nice side-game to this.
A dark mirror version I imagine.)
But I will concede that this game have more choices in that direction than many other games, so it's not all bad.
The artwork is good, and I am INCREDIBLY curious about what the monsters who call your name is.
I also wonder if there will be a way you can reject everything and go back to you world, and let that world rot, in the end.
....and yes, as much as he pissed me off, I still wonder if the first dream-guy is romancable.
While his approach was terrible, and manipulation would have worked a million times better, I STILL like what I've seen of him.
His heavy-handedness aside.
Presuming it is the first dream-guy we're talking about.
Because he did speak like a villain.
(And I would never in a million years be any kind of hero. Or date one.)
As frustrating as the game is, it's also a very good one.
As far as I can tell.
And I would love to see more of it, when more of it is developed.
Or if this was just the demo, and the full game is finished; I hope to find it on Steam.
Because it really does seem interesting.
(And Envy is kinda hot, and have a sensible attitude.)
As much as I agree with some of what you said, such as the MC having more opportunities to speak their mind, your comments are like 90% complaints and how much you hate most of the characters. Considering that this is supposed to be a romantic visual novel, it does beg the question of why you bothered playing if you apparently can't stand the love interests. Obviously this is a public forum so you can say what you want, but like...I think you'd be happier if you played a different game or created your own..
I love the demo so freaking much!!!! there are so much words i can express about how much i love the art the creepiness of the woods and OH MY GOODNESS the characters were just pure perfection, i was on my knees for Ara and Amon. though i hope that the full game won't be pay cause this girl is currently broke and heck i haven't even paid off my friends debt. overall, great work! especially the plot and story line!!!
Damn this game is so good. I want to gush about everything the art the music the UI the plot!!!! But rn in the most respectful and normal way possible, I want to make it clear that am about to become everyone's new stepmother. Idc if Pride is a little evil, as long as he pats me gently on the head and tells me I'm doing a good job
haven't played this game yet but I've got my eyes set on Envy and Xal, IDK how am I supposed to chose between them but we will see ... :3 I'm very excited to play this!
edit: this is an easy 5 star! the art is breathtaking, the writing, the suspense, the horror, the curiosity- it's all phenomenal.
I'm torn between the adorable Xal, the gentleman that is Gael, and the ultimate emo tsudere Envy. I can't wait to play their routes!
