Limbus of Souls is a cooperative first-person horror game where players take on the role of ghosts trapped in the afterlife — Purgatory. They are not alone: lost souls are also stuck there. The team must find these souls and guide them onward. Each redirected soul reveals new parts of the environment and brings players closer to escape.
Survival in Purgatory is built around stealth, resource management, and avoiding hostile entities. While exploring labyrinth-like floors, players discover artifact items. Each artifact has a unique property, but more importantly, can be used to perform rituals.
Rituals are the key way to protect the team in Purgatory. They allow players to open paths, cleanse areas, defend against entities, revive teammates, and enhance the group. Every artifact becomes a decision: use it immediately or save it for a more powerful ritual.

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.
Early creature concepts. Their appearance, behavior, and role within Purgatory are still taking shape. These forms will eventually manifest as fully realized threats waiting for you in the labyrinths.
