1:34 What about this one? Your feet stuck firmly into the floor of a dimly lit tunnel and suddenly a giant Black Widow-like spider shows up behind you and slowly grabs you from the back of your neck?
Nirmit Mishra I played the entirety of limbo with headphones on and when you’re playing the game and the screen suddenly zoomed out and you see this huge fricking spider start crawling out from the side and you hear that heart beat pure noise... it’s terrifying
Theory: What if the Spider is actually Death incarnate? The boy is trapped in Limbo and the spider is a psycho-pomp, he cocooned the boy in order to prepare him for ascension into Heaven. When the boy escaped and began interfering in the lives of mortals he became a danger and the spider attempted to destroy him. By killing the spider the boy has essentially trapped himself in Limbo forever.
No, the spider is the human fear he has to overcome, after the spider there are many trials left, this is just a way of him overcoming this fear and facing worse things to come.
I'm absolutely terrified of spiders, but for some reason I sort of pity this one. It just reminds me of the animals who remembers when someone does them wrong and hunts them down because of it. When something like that happens, you want them to get their payback. So while I'm scared of spiders, I understood what this one was after.
No reason is given. Considering the name of the game and the beginning/end scenes, it's very likely that the main character is in limbo himself. The spider could represent oncoming death, or it could represent one of his greatest fears. I like the fear theory because you can also make a good argument for all the obstacles in the game being fears: spiders, drowning, helplessness(brain worms), fear of adulthood(massive, imposing hotels and factories full of saws and electricity), etc.
@@Equeon Necroposting, but I actually think that Limbo is by itself a mirror of an idyllic world that's morphed to be similar to hell, so all of the creatures that are native to Limbo, and the unbaptised kids with the original sin (or the unconscious childhood evil) are real and not part of the boys imagination. You can see that the kids who appear to be more time inside this real grew stronger and created structures and traps to protect themselves, in this case, from the spider (spiders? Other giant predators?) and from other kids. But I do think they all mean something inside the boys mind, but not in a spiritual way, more as narrative.
I mean, just pick a medium-sized log and use it as a lever instead of getting your hands on that dying thorax section of that giany spider. That boy isn't smart.
Idc if it's pink and nice, you know it's still a big f#cking spider! And if it handed out lollipops, you must question why it would stab you with it's tip of the leg!
I bought this game with my friend who is an Arachniphobe and we had no idea that spiders were in this game. We bought it and started to play through. First spider scene, she's in tears and I'm really creeped out. What a great game!
Well because I’m not filled with *_DETERMINATION_* Minecraft spider. It’s the least realistic of them ** You realise it’s two metres across** *_YOU ARE FILLED WITH DETERMINATION TO SLAY THE LEAST SCARY BUT STILL HUGE DEMON_* Edit: oh hai sans didn’t see you there
I never played this game but is the spider supposed to represent fear and overcoming it? The first enounter is nerve wracking (looking) with the bear trap and the other enounters involve running away from it. Then in the final encounter you rip off its last leg without the help of the environment. Idk just a though :3
The spider presumably starts with 8 legs. After the first encounter, it is conceivable that the spider purposefully amputated it's 3 useless legs or lost them by some other means. While the cocooning spider has it's legs in tact, there are only 5 of them.
I loved the game, I just wished the spider had a more antagonistic role, along with those feral children that hunt you down. I mean, they all die basically at the start of the game. From then onwards, you don't have to worry about enemies anymore. Just obstacles.
There was one last mosquito in this game. It's in the city, and you have to grab it to get to a high place. I wonder why the spider didn't have 5 legs and 3 stubs later, just 5, and then only 4 legs and 3 stubs after the boulder hit him. It would've made the game more interesting if he survived and followed the boy into the city. And the boy kills him near the end with a collapsing building.
This freaked me the hell out. The rest of the game was a peach compared to this nightmare...And yet I somehow felt bad for the thing when I finally pushed into onto a spiky death.
This is by far the creepiest part of this game. I have to play it alone, because I cuss too much when the poor kid dies. For some reason, they must have changed the game, and the first encounter with the spider, the legs extend way further than on here, impaling the boy. Thanks for the upload. I don't remember my dreams, so keep up the good work!
Spiders in real-life tend to keep there prey in Cocoon, some of them bite them first and put inside them a toxin that will slowly liquefie there interior. Some don't because they already have something to eat and it's just for latter. Be happy there is no spider who can do that to us... Being kept in a Cocoon like that must be a nightmare.
@@mikaelmyers6135 Whenever I watched that scene (Which was a lot because LOTR is my favourite film ever) I would have to leave the room and just let it play out. The annoying part is that when I was younger I would happily let a turantula walk on my hands but for some reason I've developed arachnophobia 😒.
the spider makes this game memorable i hope the next game has more insects instead of the mechanical stuff near the end of the game. should be released next year.
fun fact: everytime i see a spider, my palms start acting all tingly and itchy, but for some reason, i don’t have the effects when i see the spider in the game
In the dengue epidemy mosquitos were like hell, so i decided to grab a mosquito and dissmember it leg by leg to make the other mosquitos know how bothered i was. It came of out nowhere. But soon a dark flashback came, and i remembered playing a game when a boy met a spider. Coincidence or not, i find this creepy.
Did anyone notice the "rock" in the start of the game was actually another limb-less spider body? Possibly killed by those kids that Limbo (protag) was being chased around by? My theory is that the spider had a family and all of them were killed by those children. And the spider was the only one left. So the spider was chasing around Limbo because they thought that limbo was a kid that killed the spiders family.
Also if anyone is thinking about limbos ending where he finds a girl at the treehouse I saw this treehouse in the background so maybe limbo isn't a loop
got aracnaphobia and when i saw the spider i was like this makes the spiders on my bike look like butterflies but i still think that were more scared of them then they are of you
How would you react if someone you never knew invades into your house and messes around with your shit without asking you and acts all smug-faced while doing so? The spider is furious at that little boy for entering it's habitat and doing some Bear Grylls-shit behind it's back.
+Craig Johnson damn dude you should really try to play through it again. Unless you really think you disliked it in which case you d have no taste. Anyways your move.
I like spiders. And it is absolutely discriminative to make them bad guys all over and over again in games, books, movies and stuff. They're the ones prevent you from getting insect problems, so why does this happen?
Well in this instance, it being a giant spider adds to the theme of helplessness in a huge uncaring world. It’s a predator and you are prey, the simplest and most primal of fears
You have to physically ROLL the spider body/head into a ditch to kill it!?!?!?! Where's an arbitrary grenade in your back pocket when you need one! Ick! {shudder}
Anyone think one of these below? Aragog Harry Potter Frodo Shelob Slenderman walking on tentacles Wild Wild West Tarantula Acklay And why does he suddenly have 5 legs later instead of 8 legs with 3 of them slightly shorter than the rest?
Dunno if anyone else noticed this, but in at least the first scene where you see the spider (that is, from 0:00 to 1:04), the spider has a face, or what looks like a face. At 0:07, if you look at its upper body while one of the legs is elongated and the other two are hanging up there, you can make out the features of a nose and chin. Go in-game or full screen this to get a better view of what I'm talking about.
honestly..i think this is one of the most Artistic game i EVER played!!! no matter what console, what NEXT GEN the games are..how other games like Dead Space..dead island, even HALF LIFE can be beautiful or whatever, LIMBO is really one of the most Artistic one..and i dare you to disagree and to have a good argument for that
Man by the end I was terrified. Imagine having to roll a dismembered spider's STILL LIVING body around. Nightmare fuel man...

Honestly I kind of feel bad for the spider it literally got dismembered and was still alive the whole time
Just noticed after all this time that it purrs in the background, and stops when it dies.
That static "burrr" sound.

when i was 6 i was always scared of the spider and yes i played it 9 years ago
I hope they do a second game with more creatures like this one, and longer ofc. Really good game!
W..Why Is The Boy Not Screaming?
He ripped off all of that thing's legs and then impaled it's body on a pile of spikes.
I'm sure that's enough to prove he wasn't afraid of it.
Tyler Villarreal it's a soul and b is I. Limbo
Tyler Villarreal Courage is not the lack of fear, but conquering the odds in spite of fear
The boy is a representation of a person who knows he's fucked but has chosen to live.
In that situation, fear is nothing but a concept that's of no use to you.
