* \\\'\\\'LimboOfTheLost\\\'\\\' was an irredeemably-bad AdventureGame thrown together in [[IdiotBall only]] ten years by a group of three middle-aged Brits with no experience in coding, graphic design, or writing. The results show all too well — there are \\\'\\\'\\\'way\\\'\\\'\\\' too many CopyAndPasteEnvironments ([[{{Plagiarism}} figuratively and literally copied and pasted from other, better games]], including \\\'\\\'TheElderScrolls: {{Oblivion}}\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'VideoGame/{{Unreal}}\\\'\\\', and [no pun intended] \\\'\\\'{{Thief}}\\\'\\\'). \\\'\\\'Limbo...\\\'\\\' is chock-full of {{Combinatorial Explosion}}s, {{Pixel Hunt}}s, and GuideDangIt moments, piled together using a freeware adventure game engine with code almost entirely written by wide-eyed forumgoers who [[UngratefulBastard have yet to receive a single mention of gratitude for their effort]] and aren\\\'t listed in the game credits. Tying it all together is a dreadful generic fantasy story played out through [[UncannyValley terribly-modeled pre-rendered characters]] whose dialogue was practically phoned in from across the globe (almost all voiced by the same guy). Oh, and it has [[SolveTheSoupCans puzzles that wouldn\\\'t make sense]] [[MoonLogicPuzzle in any imaginable context]]. Fortunately, the game was pulled off the shelves by its distributors after they learned that the devs used stolen assets, for the greater good of mankind and the survival of the distributors. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0 To top it all off, check out the ending]]...or experience it in all its traumatizing \\\"glory\\\" in [[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=400406 Wields-Rulebook-Heavily\\\'s]] screenshot-and-comment LetsPlay.
Ten years is a long time for a game to be in development. Most games are made in at least one or two years, and a lot of them turned out better. For LimboOfTheLost, it sounds less like \\\"took a short time\\\" and more like \\\"TheyJustDidntCare\\\". The game itself stays on the page. It\\\'s just that the \\\"only\\\" really bugged me.
