About Playdead

Playdead is Arnt Jensen's Danish studio making wordless trial death puzzles. Limbo from July 2010 follows a boy through spider forests and factories with bear traps and gravity. Inside from June 2016 follows a boy through farms and labs with mind control helmets and blob ends.

The studios physics, checkpoints and secret eggs carry straight over. The stories never link, only the die and learn shape. Each game plays alone once you know the push pull loop. The traps never rust across forests and labs.

Good to know

There is no shared boy between the games, so either nightmare works alone once you know the loop. Release order is still the best tutorial because Inside refines Limbo traps. Start with Limbo for the spider basics, then take Inside for the facility peak. The checkpoints never move across both nightmares.
