What Limbo is about
Limbo is a small, fable-like village by the sea, full of boats and old, empty houses. A mountain range splits it into two hamlets, and the distance isn't only physical: on each side there's fear of what's different and plenty of deep-rooted prejudice.
The game is a parable about what happens when people close themselves off, and what they gain when they choose to collaborate toward a common goal. It's the follow-up to Exit, Game Strategies' serious game on teamwork, and it goes one step further: the mindset and skills you need to truly collaborate.
Whether you open up is up to you. You practice in realistic simulators, in a safe, stress-free environment, and get personalized feedback on your areas for improvement.
