The eerie, kind of creepy atmosphere of 2010âs Limbo is captured perfectly in this short film by Jesper Eriksson. Itâs kind of uncanny, to the point that I was surprised to find no mention of the game in an interview with Eriksson about the short.
If you told me this was Limbo-inspired, Iâd have believed you. Especially with the ending, you can kind of look at this film as a prequel to Limbo. Alas, for nowâas far as I can tellâthis video by PUFFILMS resembling Limbo is a weird coincidence.
EDIT: Eriksson reached out to me and issued the following statement:
âBetween Beasts is greatly inspired by Limbo and the works of Tim Burton, I donât know if I can match playdeadâs or Mr. Burtonâs brilliance in any way, but they were a large part of my inspiration. Though the short isnât intended as any kind of fan fiction.â
