Oof. Let me tell ya, “Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo” from Fellow Traveler and Galla Games is quite a trip. Imagine a cozy papercraft escapade. In the afterlife. Yep, that’s right. You’re chilling among souls in Limbo. Not gonna lie, it’s as surreal as it sounds—but in a good way. You play as Kulebra, a snake. Because why not, right? Your mission? Help these souls move on. Sounds simple, but it’s like peeling an onion. Layers, my friend.
So, you land in this looped world. Day turns to dusk, then night, and repeat. Rinse and repeat. Every soul’s on a loop. You gotta sniff out clues, wrangle items, and gather enough dirt to break ’em free. That’s your job. Ever felt like a therapist for ghostly beings? No? Well, now you get to be one, kind of. Anyway — wait, I lost my train of thought for a second. Right, the cycle! Every detail counts, so keep your eyes peeled.
You’ll maneuver through this with the left stick or D-Pad — depends on your groove. Oh, and grab stuff with the A button. Not too shabby, huh? But, rolling’s on the B button, don’t forget. It’s crucial when things get sticky. Inventory? That’s your X button. You can swap items with L, ZL, R, and ZR buttons. Fun combo, yeah? Sometimes you’re stuck MacGyvering items together to solve puzzles. Pay attention to those descriptions. I once got caught up thinking a spoon was a key. Awkward.
There’s a gal, an Old Lady, she’s caught on a rock wrapped by vines. She forgets her name mid-chat. Hard relate? She needs you to cut her loose. Yeah, the game’s teaching you to problem-solve while you’re half asleep. What you need? Scissors. Go find ’em. Snip, snip, done.
This whole vibe? Chill. Like, absurdly chill for an afterlife setting. And for $19.99 on the Nintendo Switch? Kinda hard to pass up. But hey, that’s just me, rambling about ghostly folks needing closure. Who knew helping souls could be this crafty and chill? Anyway, go give it a whirl—or don’t. I just write about this stuff.
