LIMBO

I am definitely not one to play video games, so playing Limbo proved a challenge for me.  I had to try multiple times to get across each deadly trap and really wished that I was able to save the character each time.  Limbo made me feel exactly like I was in Limbo, this alternate universe where I am stuck trying to save myself from the unknown and feeling no closer to the end as I progressed.  The mood created was dark and seemed like I was in some kind of afterlife with no escape.  The boat crossing reminded me of old myths of crossing the river into the underworld.  My main response was I felt ultimately trapped with no way to survive except to keep continuing along this dark path.  It was similar to how I could feel in a survival situation: I kept pushing forward although it seemed as though there was no end and there was darkness and terror around me.
