Limbus Company

Limbus Company

Free-to-play dungeon crawling RPG from ProjectMoon, serving as a sequel to their previous release Library of Ruina.

Overview

Limbus Company is a free-to-play, turn-based RPG with a gacha system and dungeon crawling elements.

Plot

Set some time after the events of Lobotomy Corporation, the Library of Ruina, and the webcomic Leviathan (all done by Project Moon, and set in the same universe). Limbus Company is the story of a person known only as Dante, who lost most of their memories and the ability to speak normally, having their head replaced by a literal clock. The only thing Dante knows is that they have been "hired" as a manager for the Limbus Company by a legendary Fixer named Vergilius, traveling with a dozen other Sinners (loosely based on famous literary works from the real world), guiding them to collect Golden Boughs that represent a new source of untapped power, salvaged from the ruins of Lobotomy Corp.

Sinners

All of the Sinners have alternate forms that can be acquired through the Extract function when enough roses are collected. However, the main story usually refers to their base forms shown below.
