Well there you have it, the end to what will probably go down as one of the worst games ever.

Apparently that's only one of MANY terrible endings.

This game should be banned to prevent its idiocy spreading to the general population. :fp:

Did we ever find out what happened to Steve Bovis and his accomplices?

Read all about it on GRredux chap:

Essentially, a man named Steve Bovis - with two friends - created an indy adventure game that was picked up and released by a small publisher.
After the game was released it was discovered that it had stolen alot of things from other games, backdrops, sprites, pictures, cutscenes, music ETC ETC.

A good story it was

Christ almighty.

This really shows that when they couldn't steal from anyone else (because, let's face it, blatantly nicking an ending from Oblivion might be a bit too obvious) their talent was bloody non-existent. Either that or they'd just given up on any pretense of quality by the time the ending was designed.

Apparently a few very rare copies MAY have made it out before it was recalled by their suitably embarrassed publisher.

There's also a review of the game here...

http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/pc/limbo-lost

It was published after the scandal so it should be full of lulz.

I love this bit:

+ Stolen material makes me giggle
- But not enough to play this game

It reminds me of the narrator from Funny Bones.

Always a good thing.

That sounds familiar was that a cartoon?

As something to watch FOR FREE, it's mildly amusing. As an ending to an already awful game, it's a final slap in the face to anyone who actually bought the thing.
