The full paid build of Playdead's award-winning dark puzzle-platformer, with the complete story and every chapter unlocked from the first launch.
Why this full build
LIMBO is a paid game on Google Play, priced as a one-time purchase that gates the full story behind a checkout screen. The build on this page is the complete com.playdead.limbo.full package, so the entire campaign, from the forest opening to the final reveal, is available the moment you start playing. There is no trial wall and no chapter you have to pay to continue past.
That distinction matters because LIMBO is short by design and meant to be played in one or two sittings. A locked demo that cuts off after the early traps misses the whole point of the experience, which builds its dread slowly and pays it off in the back half. The full version keeps the pacing intact.
It is a useful option for players in regions where the paid listing is priced above local purchasing power, or for anyone who wants to evaluate the full game on their own hardware before deciding whether to buy a copy to support Playdead.

- Complete story, no chapter locks.
Every section of the campaign is open from the first boot, including the puzzles and set pieces gated behind the paid unlock on the store listing.
- No in-app purchase prompts.
The full build carries no upsell screens, since the one-time purchase model means there is nothing left to sell you inside the game.
- Offline play.
Once installed, LIMBO runs without a network connection. Useful for travel or for keeping the eerie atmosphere uninterrupted.
- Controller support.
Plays with a paired Bluetooth gamepad as well as touch, which suits the precise timing the physics puzzles ask for.

The monochrome art, film-grain visuals, and minimalist sound design are untouched, exactly as Playdead shipped them.
