Half-Life 2 single player puzzle/adventure level that takes place on a mysterious, haunted prison isle. The player must overcome a series of Myst-style puzzles to find a way to reach the lighthouse.

Limbus Island is a study in non-verbal communication, as the player must discover their goals and puzzle solutions solely through visual and audio cues. There aren't very many images in the gallery, but the full version of the level is available and the Beta footage above is very indicative of final product except for some minor visual polish.
