==Lore and story== LIMBO is themed around being trapped between heaven and hell. With the player unsure of where to go, it is up to them to decide their fate as they navigate the wonders of different technological and demonic hallucinations. The story of LIMBO is about a steel factory manager in the 1980s who hired a scientist to create artificial intelligence to address the dangerous situations in the factory. The steel factory suffered 10 casualties, and some workers quit due to the hazardous conditions; therefore, the manager decided to replace all the factory workers with artificial intelligence capable of performing all tasks simultaneously. The creation was finished and named EAM-17. It was considered the scientist's greatest invention. It took him around 17 prototypes to create the final product; however, he thinks his creation is not yet ready for commercial use. The manager replied that it was a marvellous machine, exclusive to his company. The manager assures the scientist that he need not worry about making a profit with this machine, as he will soon build an 'unstoppable team'. The scientist then reminded the manager that there is a failsafe in the form of a combination code, which can be activated with a key in the control room. However, the manager replied that he had not yet seen the machine work in real-time, so he demanded that the scientist get it working. The scientist then addresses the machine's purpose and expresses his concern for the workers, who have families to raise, and for the fact that he is monopolising the industry. The manager silenced the scientist, telling him that a naïve young man like him would never understand that this would be the new direction. Everything would become automated, and personnel would no longer have input. It is a sacrifice through every significant step. The manager also added that he dislikes how the press pressures him to discuss his treatment of employees. The scientist calls him out for his greed, which would force thousands into destitution through this cruel means. When the manager reminded him of his sick mother, the scientist told him not to bring her up. They continued to prepare for the machine's operations and reminded him about the safety precaution key. The manager calls the weird-looking key an 'elaborate gag' of his because of its colours. The two then started EAM-17 to work, hoping that the manager would gain profit. Six days have passed, and the machine is functioning according to plan, with the factory's sales increasing on a long shot. However, at one point, it malfunctioned and stopped completely. The manager called the scientist to check on the machine, then headed to the control room to assess the situation. Before he could do so, a gigantic claw made out of improvised objects from the factory grabbed the scientist. The scientist yells to retrieve the keys from the table and focus. However, the manager is confused about which key would activate the failsafe. There were too many identical keys to differentiate. The malfunctioning robot kills the scientist by violently throwing him against the wall. The manager then tries to make a run for it and call the authorities, but the machine shuts down all the doors and kills him. In the aftermath, the AI blends the entire factory like an abandoned facility every time it is threatened, ready to kill everyone who dares to enter its territory. The investigation of the deaths involving EAM-17 shows that the bodies were never recovered, and the police declared the manager and the scientist missing. Around 30 years later, a cube emerges, which is the reincarnation of the scientist. The cube was sent to the same spot where he had died outside the factory, with his only goal being to prevent more casualties to the sentient AI and RETURN 0. He must overload its resources and take the right key to shut it down. Conversely, the manager woke up elsewhere, yelling for anyone around. He has woken up in his factory, where everything is strangely bluish and distorted. As he ventures through the factory, he touches a spike and reacts in pain, telling himself that he has gone back to the start. The manager's only goal is to find what lies at the end. Otherwise, he will be trapped forever.
