Limbus of Souls is a co-op extraction horror game where you play as ghosts trapped in the afterlife — the Limbus, hunt local entities using rituals, and free the souls imprisoned within them.
Players are trapped as ghosts in the afterlife — the Limbus. To escape, they make deals with it and hunt for lost souls: finding them, freeing them from entities, stealing them and redirecting them. The more souls the team saves, the greater the reward for the expedition.
Objects are scattered throughout the Limbus and can be physically assembled into rituals directly inside the level. Players can follow known recipes or improvise, producing effects ranging from traps and stuns to teleportation, changes to the environment and dangerous side effects.
Stealth tension, the thrill of hunting for souls, risky ritual experimentation and team panic as darkness closes in and the group must escape with what they have collected.

You are a ghost, silently roaming Purgatory with your team. You leave no trace, make no noise, and interact with objects via levitation. Your primary power is casting rituals to defend against the dark, weaken enemies, and free trapped souls.
The Gravedigger, a nightmare disguised as a dapper gentleman. He imitates human life, from his top hat to his tattered coat, with polished manners and a too-wide grin. But face him, and the illusion shatters. He doesn't kill. His true nature is a soul eater, and he will consume you whole.
A mysterious denizen of Purgatory who offers his wares between runs. He provides keys, vital resources, and ritual artifacts to aid your survival. But gold holds no value here— in exchange for his rare goods, the Cat accepts only dark relics and salvaged souls.
