Limbo is a gameplay layer of the main game unlocked after allowing yourself to age via the Terminal. Limbo involves observing souls and passing judgement on whether they get to go to heaven or hell. Provides buffs for the current run after set number of souls judged. You can enter Limbo once you have both the Aging Upgrade and reach level 500.

Once you have collected 1000 souls you can Catch a soul which is then readied as you perform more actions. Forming insight will trigger "Insight Burden" which will increase each subsequent cost of each new Insight. (30, 60, 120, 180...) The cost of build observer appears to double with each new observer purchased. After collecting insight, your soul will be given a name. You then spend observed souls and Insight to discover more about your captured soul. If you capture a new soul, your current one will be erased.
Once a soul has reached 100% prepared, you can click the star above the souls name in the middle of the screen to judge the soul. Upon judging the soul, the Frightening Figure either agrees with you or not.
After Judging you receive 1 Lore, a new currency. You can also leave Limbo at any time. Once back to the main page, two new unlocks are available, one called "Enter Limbo" and another called "Limbo Reward". Upon first clicking Limbo Reward, you have three choices. +5 Maximum Arcaniem, +5 Max Star Frog, +200 Maximum Scrolls. The only real choice is Arcaniem since you need as many books as possible to get Wizard books, and the number of Arcaniem determines the number of books you can have. You will get other rewards for subsequent souls being judged after you return back to the main page. You can enter and leave Limbo as often as you would like.
| Name | Cost | Gain |
|---|---|---|
| Van Di | 1 Lore | -10 Insight Burden |
| Drunna | 1 Lore | 10 Maximum Forest Books, 10 Maximum Herbs, 10 maximum Nightshade |
| Fagor | 1 Lore | +1 Observer |
The Time Travel cheat of clicking the "d" in the word "Banished" seems to also apply to Limbo. This will be multiplicative to the number of Observers you have which provide you Souls per second.
