About Lost in Limbo
Lost in Limbo is a dark fantasy and romance visual novel/otome game telling the story of our main character, River (name and pronouns customizable), a human abducted by mysterious forces and sent to the realm of Limbo. Together with the Seven Sovereigns, almighty gods of Limbo, you must unveil the mystery behind your summoning to the Realm Between, find a way back home and prepare to face the dangers of a love beyond reason.
Main Cast of Characters
Pride | He/Him | 52 Years Old
VA: Patrick ‘Pat’ Langner
God and creator of Limbo, Father Pride watches over the peace and well-being of his realm, but the life of a god can be solitary. When he welcomes you with open arms, his kindness draws you in…and a perturbing omen makes you stay.
Amon | He/Him | 34 Years Old
VA: Brian Vaughn
Unapologetically so, Lord Amon lives his life to the fullest and indulges in as many pleasures as he can. His disarming personality could put anyone at ease, but the Golden Dragon is not as harmless as everyone wants to believe.
Raeya | She/Her | 32 Years Old
VA: Silvairre Devereaux
Dedicated and brave, Praefectus Raeya takes her role as Limbo’s protector extremely seriously, but the truth behind the realm’s darkest times will soon put her loyalty —and her ability to keep you out of harm’s way— to the test.
Gael | He/Him | 29 Years Old
VA: Abi Kumar
Current Master of the Grand Houses, Gael’s sweet and noble persona won the hearts of the citizens of Limbo and has ensured his position for the past five elections. However, the beloved Master has a secret that could end his reputation and plunge his already torn city into chaos.
Envy | He/They | 24 Years Old
VA: Aaron Moy
Stripped of their name and shunned after committing treason, the Sovereign now known as Lord Envy lives a life of solitude and confinement. Will you be able to break down the walls they have built around themselves for centuries, or will you remain a prisoner in his castle for all eternity?
Ara | She/Her | 22 Years Old
VA: Zaria Weems
Kind and caring, Ara is not only determined to make your time in Limbo a happy thing to remember, but also to make things go back to the way they were, no matter the cost. Her dazzling smile hides an ambition and a determination that could serve you well—if both your goals are as aligned as she swears them to be.
Xal | He/Him | 21 Years Old
VA: Francfil Pontañeles
As the youngest Sovereign, no one expects anything from Xal, not even himself. He is seen as a good-for-nothing and a poor excuse of a god, but you two are about to prove everyone wrong. For better or worse, he’s the only one who can help you, but what if Xal needs you as much as you need him?
Unlockable Love Interests
Lázaro and Cécile’s routes will be unlocked via stretch-goals, and they’re Side Routes that will be produced after the Main Love Interests’.
Features of Lost in Limbo
✩ Seven love interests with individual routes
Each one in different stages of their lives, bound by the gift of immortality, and offering diverse kinds of romances. Choose between a first-love kind of romance or a mature, passionate experience with no strings attached.
✩ Customizable protagonist
Choose your first name, last name, and pronouns (she/her, he/him, they/them). Take the reigns of your own life and approach every choice however you want. Be bold, be kind; be reckless and passionate or play your cards carefully and with a cool mind.
✩ Multiple endings
Your choices affect your romance with the characters and their personal growth and personality. Your decisions impact the world around you and build different outcomes that will decide your fate and your loved one’s.
✩ A wide variety of choices
Lost in Limbo has different point systems to give shape to your experience;
- Trust Points centered around your Love Interest
- Plot-driving choices that will shape the story and its possible endings
- Personality choices that will determine the nature of the MC’s relationship with the LI, as well as how the MC reacts to certain events
- Flavor choices! These don’t impact the game directly, but are there for the main objective of the game: having fun!
In Lost in Limbo, there’s not only one correct answer and one wrong answer. There’s different ways of earning trust points without having to stick for the “one and only right answer”, and mistakes can be redeemed…sometimes.
✩ A mysterious, dangerous world to discover
Carefully navigate through the world of Limbo, the Realm Between, and learn about its history, its culture, and the dangers that lurk behind the shadows of a so-called perfect world.
