Developed by indie company Playdead, Limbo is a 2-D puzzle-platform game. In this game an unnamed young child must navigate a hostile environment rigged with traps, and teeming with monsters in order to find his sister. The game is a well thought out minimalist style, including everything from the art to the controls. A black and white world confronts the boy, and the player has to navigate the eerie, dangerous world without any tutorial text or voice, only able to jump, grab, and run. It accomplishes the goal set by game director Arnt Jensen, who wanted to move away from the corporate style of AAA games,  and create something much more artistic and subjective. Playing through the game evoke many emotions, and a great empathy for the boy struggling and clawing to find his missing sister.
