It's like porn being art if it's monochromatic.

I mean I get that there's these outlines of some grisly deaths, but I'd easily argue that a teenager is able to handle this game.
It's not E, you're not supposed to let a five year old play it. It's supposed to be suitable for a teenager.
I'd let a five year old play it.
Playing this company's new game INSIDE on stream tonight. I'm well stoked for it.

So I dunno. I think Inside was a more refined cinematic experience with a better "story" but it seemed lighter on puzzles and I had a much lower death count. The creeptown factor and balance of intense vs ambient was all better than Limbo. The ending was really cool too. I feel like they set up a bunch of interesting mechanics and didn't really explore them too much, and there is some retreading over ground that The Swapper already sort of covered.
I think Limbo is the meatier game, but to a casual I'd probably hand them Inside first.
They also toned the gore down a bit. My favorite moment is when you splat some scientist in an epic belly flop onto concrete.
I'd say that if they make another game they could go even darker and gorier but that would probably end up limiting the market reach.
The Commodore 64 demo of Limbo came out this month. https://csdb.dk/release/index.php?id=170889
It's really impressive for the hardware.
Coming to C64 in 2024?!
I would assume this is more of a demoscene contri than something that they intend to turn into a complete game.
