The chills have eyes.

<span class="bold">LIMBO</span>, an eerily atmospheric puzzle/platformer about a boy walking through the valley of the shadow of death, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 80% launch discount.

By some cruel twist of fate, a little boy finds himself standing at the precipice of afterlife. He is stranded in LIMBO and his sister is here too. To find her, he must brave a haunting black-and-white landscape riddled with nightmarish creatures, treacherous machinery, and fiendish puzzles. Is he relieving his greatest fears? Is he atoning for his sins? Or is he simply faced with the horrors native to this disturbing place? All he knows is that he must press on, overcome the darkness, and conquer the physics-based challenges that keep creeping up on him. His journey will not be long, but it's one of the most profound, memorable experiences one can hope to have.

Search for salvation in the hauntingly eerie land of eternal <span class="bold">LIMBO</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 80% launch discount will last until November 27, 10:59 PM UTC.
If you already own the game on Steam, head over to GOG Connect and claim your free copy.

5/5 - The Escapist

"LIMBO is as close to perfect at what it does as a game can get."
10/10 - Destructoid

Yeah, thanks GOG! Had this on Steam, now I have it on here too!! =)
(I think somebody here might have gifted it to me...or I won it in some giveaway).

I remember enjoying the game, so I can recommend it!
Just remembered I had a steam key for this, it came with the PC disc special edition (which is DRM free anyways). So I have a total of 2 steam games and one of them comes to GOG Connect...and it even worked. Nice. Add that to my original Xbox 360 and the recent free Xbox One versions.

Now if they can just add Napoleon Total War to GOG connect then I'll never have to log into Steam ever again.
Is there any word from GOG why the Linux port is yet again missing here or are you/we talking to a wall again?
So, where is the Linux version? There are supposed to be 2 at least. Wine wrapped one, and native port.

ssokolow: Good thing I added my Humble Bundle copy through GOG Connect.
I had no idea you could do that. I thought GOG connect is limited to Steam, so I never even used it before. How did you connect it with HB? I have Limbo there from one of the early bundles.

Humble gave them a Steam key. They used that and connected their Steam account.

Well, that doesn't help - I don't have a Steam account. I do have an HB one.

I created a Steam account specifically for GOG Connect and redeem keys by running the client inside a VirtualBox+Lubuntu VM that I've set up with its virtual NIC in NAT mode so it can't sniff packets on the LAN via ARP poisoning. (I also normally have my VPN up so it can't see the LAN at all.)

It also doubles as a backup proof of purchase in the wake of Desura and ShinyLoot closing up shop, should I need to ask the developer for a replacement gift code from another DRM-free store.

I find it highly ironic and irritating that once again to get a DRM free copy of a game on GOG we can't use the most DRM free OS out there to play it. Normally I give GOG the benefit of the doubt but in this case the DRM free linux version can be purchased on Humble Store. GOG needs to start communicating on this issue. Especially if they aren't to blame.

Smannesman: Wow, that's basically an old game by now.
Yeah I know. Wonder why a store such as Good Old Games would want it.

The store hasn't been called that for the last decade or so though.

Well, even so, that name is going to stick forever =D

I've been singing that tune for months and it has never happened. The only thing they communicate is when an update for a particular OS (usually Mac or Linux) is going to be delayed.

GOG was founded in 2008 which makes it around 8 years old. So according to you it was never called GOG if we follow your timeline. From what info I can find the GOG rebranding happened in 2012. So for half of it's life it was known as Good Old Games.
I was hoping for a comment from GOG about the Linux version before this sale had ended. Sadly nobody cared to answer, once again. So I had to pass on this ... :(
I just beated the game. F*CKING... AWESOME. Loved it although it lasted only 5-6 hours. I am definitely going to enjoy INSIDE also.
