Soon, a “hand” has to be joined along to pull levers and latches and the game looks like just another version of ‘Limbo’. As the name suggests, it is all about letters of the alphabet, starting with an ‘O’ and one has to pile the lonely “O” on an “E” and an “H” for it to look like a kid, who then starts running seamlessly as obstacles are thrown on its way. I am not a big fan of the premise and the concept of ‘Typoman’ though, but perhaps one of the reasons for it being on this list is due to its resemblance to ‘Limbo’ like none other.

Basically, you play a free runner who has to run through a series of challenges like laser beams, obstacles and heights while being chased by one of your captors. Enter ‘Vector’, which has a resemblance both to ‘Limbo’ in terms of its visuals and gameplay and to Super Contra in terms of the overall look and feel, albeit it only has a single player version. This arcade-like game reminds me often of Super Contra, the age-old multiplayer addictive game wherein one/two mercenary(ies) beat the crap out of their opponents using powered machine guns and acrobatics. Play this if you miss the excitement of ‘Limbo’ but with an enhanced taste. What’s exciting about the game is the gameplay, which, even though given it’s resemblance to ‘Limbo’, is entirely different, with theatrics like walking on the roof, among others. The backstory comprises of a girl and a cat and a dreadful skeleton monster in what appears to be a quest-like setup, with puzzles, morbidity (ala ‘Limbo’), and the two-dimensional eerie to follow. So, to talk about the differences between ‘Limbo’ and ‘A Walk in the Dark’, the latter offers a slightly higher number of manoeuvres compared to the former. Though the challenges don’t seem very exciting at the outset, the “Cut the Rope” kind of gameplay becomes addictive after some point in time. The so-called “help” constitutes the entire gameplay. Basically, it starts with a ball-like creature with a giant eye which can’t do anything but roll and glide and sling using your help. Its resemblance with ‘Limbo’ only lies in the fact that it has a partly monochromatic background and the consistent eerie feel around it.

Published by Playdead for Microsoft Game Studios, the game is a bag full of surprises and has enough adrenaline-jerking moments for gaming enthusiasts and those who’re into puzzle-like games with a dash of thrill. Especially, when you’ve to empathize with the boy being him during the gameplay, not just watching him through unlike in a movie. The weirdness and the horrifying creatures and happenstances appearing in front of a little boy who’s on a quest to find his missing sister are beyond exhilarating. Not only is the entire gameplay in B&W, or greyscale to be precise, in today’s world, not a lot of games follow this as a selling point, also with its 2D gameplay versus the rampantly popular 3D gaming nowadays.
