Lexicon

Lexicon is a 2D single-player puzzle adventure in which you try to escape Limbo and return to reality. You ascend its six layers, uncover their secrets, overcome puzzles and challenges, and discover the truth about who you are.

Powers and memories

You unlock ancient words from the long-lost language of Indus to command fire, earth, air and water, and to traverse Limbo’s layers. Supernatural abilities let you manipulate time and space to overcome seemingly impossible challenges.

As you explore, you find memory fragments that reveal crucial moments leading up to the events of Lexicon. By experiencing these memories, you discover the man behind the bird.

The layers of Limbo

Each layer has its own puzzles and hidden lore, from the Ossuary’s tombs to the Aviary’s soaring spires:

• The Ossuary: Limbo’s graveyard, where locals tend sprawling tombs and gravestones. A vast network of underground tombs holds countless bodies and buried secrets.
• The Foundry: A factory stretching hundreds of miles, built over a sea of molten lava. Locals tend its machinery and produce much of Limbo’s industrial goods, while the Machine Heart drives production and enforces the layer’s relentless rhythm.
• The Colliery: Limbo’s largest coal repository, at the base of a towering mountain. Wooden buildings line the town’s streets and lead to mines carved into the rocky slopes, where secrets and monsters await.
• The Sanctuary: A realm of houses of worship and tranquil gardens. Its inhabitants uphold rituals and traditions whose original meanings they often no longer understand; the truth that once defined them was buried long ago.
• The Estuary: A swampland divided by a great river that empties into a vast body of water at Limbo’s edge. Two rival tribes live along its banks, each believing the other must answer for past sins.
• The Aviary: A layer of lavish architecture and towering spires that floats above the clouds. It is home to Limbo’s wealthy elite, whose appearance resembles the birds of our world; despite having everything they desire, they continue to crave more.
