Limbo is an exploration of minimalism. Relying primarily on shadow and light, Playdead created an unshakable mood and style for the game using the tonal palate of greys, blacks and whites. While thin on plot, the visual experience of Limbo is completely unique and individual in games, not to mention beautiful. Comparisions to film noir and German Expressionism are certainly legitimate as tone is most definitely the focus for Playdead in Limbo.
