Limbo is a 2D puzzle platformer where players control a nameless boy searching for his missing sister. In classic sidescrolling fashion, you navigate a dark, monochrome world filled with dangers and puzzles. The gameplay revolves around physics-based challenges and environmental interactions that require creative problem-solving. Its distinct black-and-white visuals and minimal sound design create an eerie, almost haunting atmosphere.
The game was the debut title from Danish studio Playdead, first released in August 2011. With nearly 35,000 Steam reviews and a 92% positive rating, it remains a fan favorite. Limbo also holds strong Metacritic scores, with a Metascore of 90 and a User Score of 8.0. Normally priced at $10, the game is currently 90% off on Steam until March 3, bringing the cost down to just $1.
Inside – Playdead’s second game also drops by 90%
Playdead’s second game, Inside, is often seen as the spiritual successor to Limbo. While it builds on similar gameplay mechanics, it takes players into a dystopian world where they must escape a mysterious organization.

Normally $20, Inside is now just $2 until March 3 with a 90% discount.
