[Review] Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo for Nintendo Switch

Alright, so there’s this game I stumbled upon, “Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo.” Ever heard of it? Fellow Traveler and Galla Games whipped up this wild ride into, yes, the afterlife. Imagine, you’re not just some spirit floating around. Nope, you’re a snake named Kulebra – no idea why they went with a snake, but hey, it’s cool. Your mission? Help these stuck spirits in Limbo move on. Seriously, these poor souls need a break.

So, you’re in this place where dead folks are trying to find their way out and you gotta gather, like, clues and stuff. It’s one of those papercraft adventures, kinda cute but also deep? Or maybe it’s just me overthinking it. Anyway, it all looks kinda like… those artsy paper mache projects from high school. But virtual, ya know?

Time moves here from day to dusk to night, real Groundhog Day vibes – except you’re not Bill Murray, you’re a snake. These Limbo residents are in this loop, rinse, repeat. Really makes you think about life, right? You’ve got a handy little notebook to track things, like remembering grandma’s birthday but, um, not quite.

Oh, and watch out! There are these dark forces. Ominous, right? They don’t dig your meddling, pulling strings and all that. Maybe they’re just cranky – like, who hurt you?

Now, when you start, you’ve got your trusty analog stick to move Kulebra around. Buttons do stuff – A interacts, B rolls. It’s a twisty magic world; think Alice in Wonderland, except… not. Items go into this inventory you can poke through. You’ll need your wits – or luck – to solve puzzles. Like, at one point, you meet this old lady. Stuck because of vines? Of course. You need sharp scissors to save her – makes you feel heroic, right? Snip snip, problem solved.

Yeah, it’s all very rinse and repeat, but kinda soothing? The Nintendo Switch lets you dive in for just $19.99. Can’t put a price on helping souls, I guess.

I got a copy provided by Fellow Traveler, so shoutout to them, but really, I’d probably buy it just out of curiosity. Weird, wonderful world-building. Anyway, ever played a game that was like, unexpectedly therapeutic? This might be it.

Alright, that’s my rant. What about you?
