FIRST GAME TO MAKE ONE LIMBILLION DOLLARS

Limbus Company is fantastic, both as a successor to Library of Ruina and as an entry point into Project Moon's dark, horrifying yet entrancing universe known as "the City."

As of this writing, Chapters 1-3 and the event "Hell's Chicken" are out. The gameplay is beginner friendly but there's enough variation between enemies and higher difficulty stages to keep veterans wanting to play. The art and music are both still going strong, going together with incredibly compelling and, at times very funny, writing. There's a lot of intrigue and also a lot of laughs, and y'know, none of it somehow feels out of place in this cutthroat world with this cast of sad clowns. Incredible. Also, it's worth noting that even though it introduces a large cast to you right off the bat, all the characters have distinct personalities that all somehow bounce off of each other very well.

I think as a gacha, it's very kind too; you can actually grind in mirror dungeons and save up enough character specific currency in game to exchange for the character or ego (cool special attack) you want. Project Moon also gives out free gacha currency whenever they have to perform maintenance because of a bug, so it's not a huge loss if you can't immediately pull who you want as you can probably get it if you really try (if it's not locked behind an event).

If you want to get into this franchise I'd normally point you to Lobotomy Corporation, but I think Limbus does a great job at hooking people, and even if you don't want to see the other entries, you can still enjoy this one just fine. Project Moon is probably going to keep people playing this for a while, and I can't wait to see what they're going to do next with this entry and whatever theyre going to fund using the profits from this game lol
