Hi smile

My copy of Limbo of the Lost arrived today and I installed it immediately .... After which I happily played the game for several hours. In fact I only stopped because I got stuck !! lol

And I have to say I am very impressed thumbsup

This is a darkly comic tale told in traditional adventure style and so far GREAT fun bravo

Cheers.

The only current source is a guy on ebay -- tech_store73
The game ships from Singapore.

It's not scheduled to release in the UK until February next year.
It's not currently scheduled to release in the US at all, but Gogamer and InteractCD will probably get it as an import.

Actually the game ships from Germany. Most confusing since it had a "If undeliverable, return to **** Germany and on the other side it had a return address of Singapore.

Well, this is very mysterious, as the return label on my game said Hong Kong. headscratch No mention of Germany anywhere on the envelope.

Ana, I have the Asian font on my declarations label too. Maybe they routed them depending on where we live in the United States. smile

The main thing is that we got our games, and the seller seems very reliable--and I can't wait to play it!

At this point our BAAGS addiction would prompt us to order from Borneo, if we had to, and I don't think that's an exaggeration. blush

The seller has been quite reliable and very responsive to all emails that I sent him. Quite a nice experience I've had considering that it's coming from across the world. Anyway if all goes well, I should be seeing mine in the mailbox by the end of this week. I am so excited. Enjoy the game and keep us posted on what you think.

Hmmm...
The seller's ebay listing says he's in Singapore.
I found this map showing where Singapore is in relation to Hong Kong.

I wonder if his mailing service sometimes makes a stop in Hong Kong before shipping on to the rest of the world.

Or sometimes makes a stop in Germany instead.

Hi smile

I too visited Ebay to order a copy and it took just over two weeks to reach me from when I placed the order - but I am extremely happy to say that it was well worth the wait bravo
[And I found personel at the Singapore company to be helpful, friendly and efficient.]

I am quite a bit further into the game now and still enjoying every minute !! happydance

Cheers.

Hi Darleen2003 smile

I don't want to give anything away - this is a game you need to experience for yourself thumbsup

Suffice to say it is a traditional point & click adventure with a dark but comic theme and some pretty witty dialogue grin

Cheers.

Hi all, glad to hear that everyone who has managed to get hold of a copy of Limbo is enjoying the game. We hope to gain a publisher in North America in the near future. If this comes to pass it will obviously be easier for people who live in the USA to purchase a copy. We all very much appreciate the nice comments that we have been reading and that more and more people are being able to experience the game.

Best wishes to all the GameBoomers community.
