'''LIMBO''' is a [[Update 2.1|2.1]] Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted by [[MindCap]] and co-hosted by Djoxy, verified by BGram on 26 November 2022 after 109,490 attempts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXYMbaMVOZg</ref> The level is designed in a [[Update 1.9|1.9]] style with an indigo, dark blue, and red colour palette. MindCap intended the level to be the hardest memory Demon without relying on visual interference while implementing unique gameplay mechanics.

MindCap intended the level to be the hardest memory Demon without relying on visual interference while implementing unique gameplay mechanics.


MindCap had stated that the version of the level from January 2022 would probably have fallen into the Top 20-30 of the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]]. Some playtesters had stated that the buffed version that followed was Top 1 difficulty. Due to its unconventional, memory-intensive gameplay, LIMBO's relative difficulty is hard to gauge.

On 27 August 2022, BGram returned to the level and started his verification of a further buffed version that he, at the time, believed to be harder than [[Slaughterhouse]], the #1 level on the Demonlist. This version was ultimately verified by BGram and placed at #7.
