For the people who have been playing Inside, that ending was pretty.....downbeat. Secret ending was even more fucked if you ask me.

Enjoyed the game though, was a bit unsure to begin with but got into it pretty quickly. I've never played Limbo, but feel I need to check it out now after playing this.

Fignuts 07-19-2016 03:14 AM

Limbo is fantastic. Well worth your time.
