Limbo is a minimalist platformer with no spoken or written narrative, and focuses purely on atmosphere and simple character motivation. There's absolutely no emphasis on identity politics or representation, if anything, the protagonist is a blank slate. The gameplay is wholly driven by puzzles and exploration, without any signaling of ideological themes.

There is no real engagement with themes of religion, family, gender, or morality. The game presents a bleak, mysterious world with abstract threats, but never attempts to subvert or comment on cultural values or traditions. Male and female roles aren’t even defined, it's just one boy trying to survive.

There are no overt or implied worldview statements in Limbo. No caricatured villains, no lectures, and no ideological signaling. It's entirely driven by platforming, atmosphere, and user interpretation, players are left to their own devices in every sense.
