You may remember that a long time ago, in 2008, an adventure game called Limbo of the Lost surrounded itself in infamy once it was discovered that most of its backgrounds and other assets were plagiarized from other games, leading to it being taken off the shelves.

Besides the plagiarism, the game also suffered from a plethora of other issues, like bugs, unskippable cutscenes, tedious walking back and forth, and so on, thus quickly earning itself the place among the lists of worst games of all time.

However, in recent years, people begun to develop an ironic appreciation for the game's oddball nature, its quirky atmosphere, and bizarre characters and puzzles. They have noted that if it wasn't for the stolen assets and poor design, the game could actually be fun.

Well, replacing the stolen assets would be far too great of an undertaking, but fixing the poor design was actually reasonably achievable. This is where the Enhanced Edition comes in.

Intended to fix the game and make it a lot more playable, Limbo of the Lost: Enhanced Edition makes numerous improvements to the game, including but not limited to:

• Over 1300 new voicelines for Briggs.
• A proper Options menu.
• Fast Travel Maps for every Chapter.
• A Journal listing your current objectives.
• A Chapter Select.
• Skippable cutscenes.
• The SENSE interaction and the Seal of Sufferance now provide hints.
• An optional in-game walkthrough.
• Optional behind-the-scenes notes listing stolen assets and the changes in each room.
• Fixed random crashes on Windows 8/10/11.
• Cleaned up the audio of all voicelines.

I didn't play this game until 2020 and I seem to remember liking it quite a bit, though I can't really remember much about it now.

Very interesting news! I played the original game. Thanks for letting us know about this project.

And to GameBoomers MrTophat.

Wow !! I certainly remember this game and all the hullabaloo about it - even though I did enjoy playing it despite everything !! 😜

Anyway, I've made a small donation to buy the enhanced version, have downloaded and installed it, and played the first few scenes .... and it is SO much improved

Thank you, MrTophat 😁

What hell that game put us through! The drama on and off the board and across the web was one I will never forget. I loved the game. The developers were a nightmare.
Not sure how I feel about it getting the light of day again. I take it this is a free release?

I still have my copy!

It can be downloaded for free - but a donation is welcomed - so I made a small one

The developers were in touch with me throughout the creating of the game - mainly by telephone and email - and on it's release they sent me a personalised, boxed copy and also a small "mysterious" metal artifact - as a thank you 😁
Both of which I still have.

I had no idea until the public outcry started that anything untoward had happened during the making of the game so it was all a massive shock !!!!
