When you finally quit your dead-end job and move back to your mother’s house in the ever-peaceful town of Faybourne, you think things could only get better. However, the moment you set foot in your childhood home, a harrowing nightmare long forgotten reappears to haunt you once more.
A tower that crumbles in the vastness of a bleeding sky. A voice that mourns and yearns for something.

As the consequences of a plan set in motion long ago start to unveil, will love be the key to your freedom, or the first chapter of your downfall?

✦ THE STORY ✦
Lost in Limbo is a dark fantasy & romance visual novel taking place in the mysterious realm of Limbo. Take the role of River Winchester (full name and pronouns changeable), a human dealing with common-life problems, as you find yourself trapped in a foreign world.
Try to survive and go back to your family with the help of the Seven Sovereigns, gods who rule over Limbo and have sworn to be your protectors...even if their intentions may be completely different.
Which of the Seven Sovereigns will be in charge of your life is up to fate, but whether you fall in love or in disgrace...is up to you.

✦ Lost in Limbo is rated +17 and will include flashing lights, mild horror, disturbing imagery, mild jumpscares, implicit and suggestive sexual scenes and discussions, sensitive topics such as toxic family relationships, anxiety, depression, depictions of alcohol / drug use, etc. Each route will have content warnings available for the player.
✦ There will be four different choice systems that will give shape to your playthrough:
Trust Points centered around your Love Interest; a low level of trust can translate into Bad Endings*.
Plot-driving choices that will shape the story and its possible endings and the fate of the side characters.
Personality choices that will determine the Main Character's relationship with their Love Interest, as well as how the MC reacts to certain events.
Flavor choices! These don't impact the game directly, but are there for the main objective of the game: having fun!
*In Lost in Limbo, there's not only one correct answer and one wrong answer. There's different ways of earning trust points without having to stick for the "one and only right answer", and mistakes can be redeemed...sometimes.
✦ Lost in Limbo treats consensual sex as a natural, integral and positive part of the game. Every Love Interest will approach it differently based on their experiences and their preferences; the player will have the choice whether to engage or not* without being penalized.
*Amon's route is strongly centered around the sexual tension between him and the MC, and how this attraction quickly develops into a physical relationship. Sexual scenes will be more frequent than in the rest of the routes and can be skipped, but happen nonetheless.
✦ This is a LGBT+ game.
✦ THE CAST ✦
✦ Lost in Limbo features seven Love interests and a wide cast of secondary characters. Each Love Interest is in a different stage of their lives and has a past and personality that molds their relationship with the MC into different kinds of romance.
✦ The routes will be episodic, meaning that the game will update regularly with new chapters instead of the complete routes being released all at once.
Creator of Limbo, Father Pride has to watch over the safety of his realm and the happiness of his family. However, the life of the God of Limbo can be solitary...and that solitude can lead to one's demise.
A convoluted love story about a god that can't let go, as much as he wants to. A dramatic route where the right decision is never the easiest to make.
As the older sibling, Amon had plenty of time to learn how to be a god living amongst mortals, and yet, that hasn't stopped him from indulging in mundane pleasures...greatly so.
A frantic-paced and intense romance in which a physical relationship blooms into love with a great deal of hardships to overcome.
Dedicated and brave, Praefectus Raeya takes her role as Limbo's protector extremely seriously, but the truth behind the realm's darkest times will soon put her loyalty to the test.
A woman bound by duty and a romance full of yearning and mutual pining. A route centered around trust, forgiveness and finding the strenght to fix what's broken.

Master of the Grand Houses, Gael is admired for his humble and altruistic persona, but a dangerous secret has kept him away from love his whole life.

A charming and playful romance and the tale of a girl who takes matters into her own hands—for better or worse.
As the youngest sibling, no one expects anything from Xal, not even himself. He is seen as a good-for-nothing and a poor excuse of a god, but you two are about to prove everyone wrong.

Soooo.. I've been kinda obsessed with the song for the "I'm slowly forgetting your face trend" and decided I'd finally finish the artwork I had of it lying around in my tablet, so enjoy some Leon and Pride angst.
Info: This takes place after some time has passed since Leon was returned home.
✦ Amon: Chapter 1 Sneak peek! by Ravenstar Games on Patreon. Join Ravenstar Games's community for exclusive content and updates.
Been working non-stop because coding of Amon's first chapter has begun! You can take a look at the first four minutes of gameplay (with a few placeholder assets here and there) by joining our ✨Patreon✨ where our main tier is now available at a discount!
Wrapping up June May with another ✨screen✨ because we're not making everyone play the prologue again and again just to set a personality for a particular route. So y'all will have this instead during your route selection adventures! :^)
Ya-ho !! I don't think this has been asked but if it has feel free to ignore this ww How would the LIs react to a very flexible MC? (Like a gymnastic level "folded like a pretzel while chilling and swears it's comfortable" kind of MC )
I've been neglecting you ask-box folks for a while, I'm so sorry!!! I had a moment to breathe today so I hope this one's good :^) 💜
✦ How would the LI's react to a very flexible MC?
✦ Amon: Unholy thoughts that are NOT in line with the teachings of the Bible (/silly)
✦ Raeya: Would genuinely find it amazing. Useful for combat, too!
✦ Gael: oOoooHh to draw / paint / sculpt the MC in a "folded like a pretzel but make it beautiful" pose.....
✦ Envy: Don't do that. STOP CONTORTING. NO. IT'S GROSS. DON'T PUT YOUR FEET BEHIND YOUR HEAD YOU WEIRDO. *unholy screeching*
✦ Ara: She would beg the MC to help her gain more flexibility so they could harass Envy together as a family quality time activity
✦ Xal: Unholy thoughts that are NOT in line with the teachings of the Bible v.2 + damn the MC is cool as hell and he's one lucky loser
✦ Father Pride: A mix between Envy and Raeya. He's in awe at the MC's flexibility but also a little grossed out by some of the...things they can do. But he's a gentleman so he would never say that :^)
✦ Lázaro: They're quite flexible too because of reasons so they'd be like "let's be pretzels together 💜"
✦ Cécile: Calls the MC a circus freak to tease them but secretly finds it...remarkable? His body sometimes refuses to obey him so he admires how much control the MC has over their own. Also if anyone else calls the MC a circus freak they're dead 💜
✦ Voiced names are now available for purchase in our Patreon!
Nope, you don't have to be subscribed! We hope voiced names become a way for people to help us stay afloat while still receiving a personalized and cool goodie in exchange for their support.
We want to also thank you all so much for your kindness after our last update. We haven't replied to every comment (we'll try!) but we've read all of them and some tears were shed in the process.

✦ Let's talk about the present and future — release dates, development plans, etc.
Today's the day. In the following free Patreon post, you can read an update on the development of Lost in Limbo, as well as some other things. It's a mix of not-so-good news, introspection, and our plans moving forward. This has been difficult to write and I can only hope I've done a decent job at informing everyone of what's going on, how are we going to operate from now on as a studio, and so on. If you have any doubts, you can as always contact me and the team at [email protected] !

I'm in love with the new voiced names! It was fun to try out new names for the purpose of "oooo voice acting"
I'm curious tho, besides the obvious River name, why/how did you pick the names to be voiced the way you did? Also, I don't mean to sound rude in this part, but why do Ara and Raeya have such small name samples compared to the others?
Hehe, not rude at all!! 🫂💜
Voiced names were chosen by our backers during our Kickstarter. It was an optional add-on they could purchase; a name of their choice would be voiced by the love interest of their choice, and they could buy as many "name slots" as they wanted (that's why some names are available for every character and some aren't!)
Some folks couldn't get the add-on for one reason or another, so we'll be making them available (with a discount for backers) via our Patreon very very soon :^)! It's a nice way to do something special for our supporters while, well, staying afloat ourselves!
So for now (and this is just an estimation on my part, subjected to changes in the future) I'm aiming for ten chapters + two to three endings for each route :^) Truth is I won't know for certain until I've finished the whole draft of a route, but those are my thoughts for now!
