It was all a dream!
Did I seriously just pay $20 for the "it was all a dream" story. I mean the game was fun and the puzzles were tricky and imaginative but cummon, you cant be serious. After all i've been through it was all a fucking Dream!?!?! I'm sure that there is a crazy hidden meaning to the whole game, but the fact of the matter is I expected better from this game. I expected for there to be an overlaying theme that would culminate into an eerie and possibly depressing ending, but in the end you just wake up, walk ten feet, find your sister, and fade to black.
But regardless of that I still enjoyed playing it and recommend it.

A young boy seeks to rescue his lost sister from the dreary, dangerous world of Limbo in this monochrome puzzle-platformer.
Wait...WHAT!!!! (LIMBO spoilers)
and then when you look back at the title screen you see two corpses with flies buzzing over them in the exact positions of the child and his sister :]
You crash through a pane of glass, get up, find your sister, fade to title screen where there's flies buzzing over corpses where you and your sister where. Not depressing enough?
and IMO at least it was not a dream.
Out of curiosity, why on earth do you think it was a dream? That thought didn't even enter my head when I finished it.

" Was the top still spinning? "Saw that movie for the second time tonight, haha.
Also, this game is the shit. I think I'm going to go through it again since I played with the volume kinda low but didn't notice it since I thought the game was supposed to be quiet...I think I missed a lot of the ambient sounds/noises. And yeah, the ending is really fucked up in a great way. Idk, the ambient music and the flies over the corpses at the title screen gives me a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. I can think of few game's that have really made me this...disturbed, I guess would be the word. In a good way though, if that makes any sense. The end scene with the glass breaking and him walking up to her afterward is like looping in my head. Damn.
(Brad's Lord of The Flies vibe that he got is dead accurate. I think this is around the same feeling I had while reading that book. Btw, one of the best books I've ever read. Check it out if you haven't. I still remember many of the scenes like I was there...one in particular.)

Way to spoil a movie that's been out for less than a week asshole.
EDIT: Oh, you had a dream about seeing the movie, my bad.
" My interpretation was that a boy and his sister were playing in their tree house when somehow they fell out and died. The boy and girl are in purgatory and he must reunite with her to find his way to heaven. "This was basically my interpretation of it, though I'm not too sure if they were trying to reunite to go to Heaven (would certainly be nice though). I was more under the impression that the boy did not realize he was dead and was simply looking for his sister. It was in this state of limbo that certain aspects of his life would manifest themselves in various ways e.g. his fear of spiders.
Interesting thought, so that would mean the other kids were picking on him when he was still alive- judging by how the kids in LIMBO reacted to the main character." @VanRedd said:
