Welcome to our fifth blog post on the development of Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo. This time we want to talk about one of (if not) the most important parts of the game: The characters!

The world of Limbo is brought to live (ironically) by those who inhabit it. It’s through the characters that you connect with the world that you explore.

Most of the residents of Limbo are cursed into these lands due to unresolved business from their time in the world of the living. A huge part of the game is becoming familiar with these souls and learning their story and what has brought them here.

The Notebook will help you keep track of important details!Now, let’s go over the many colorful folks you’ll meet on your adventures!



No better place to start than with the one you’ll be seeing this world through: Kulebra, the snake with a heart of gold!

Kulebra’s adventure starts waking up at the bottom of a chasm. He seems to have no recollection of how he ended up in this place, but it soon becomes clear that he has died and is now in Limbo.
As with all other souls trapped in Limbo, there are deep regrets within Kulebra’s soul that are shackling into Limbo, even if he’s still not fully aware what that is. Fortunately, Kulebra has a special trait that makes him distinct from other souls; he’s a Bright Soul.

A Bright Soul is a spirit with an inherent desire to help others; their kindness, working as a guiding light for those souls unable to find their way back on their own. One key trait that separates Bright Souls apart is their resistance to the curse of Limbo, which traps souls in a time-loop, repeating the same day over and over. Why was he given this role? There’s hope that Kulebra’s journey through Limbo will help him answer this question and find his purpose in this new world.

Kulebra is a snake of VERY few words, but he doesn’t have trouble communicating. He is a very skilled individual with many techniques at his disposal, such as rolling for fast traveling, eavesdropping, and even lockpicking (don’t ask where he learned that last one, let’s just say he’s a pretty sneaky guy).

There’s plenty of more folks to meet, so what do you say we let them share the spotlight too.


Kulebra’s not the only one willing to show kindness in Limbo, there are plenty of others that will more than happily give you a hand.

The Old Lady is the first person(?) you meet after waking up. After helping her out of a precarious situation, she introduces you to the world of Limbo and reveals your nature as a Bright Soul.

She claims to just be an Old Lady that accidentally trapped herself, but it’s clear that there’s more to this Old Lady than what she claims to be. Nonetheless, she helps to ease you on your new journey by directing you to a place where you’ll find your reason for being in Limbo. There’s probably much worse things to encounter in your first time in the afterlife.

The question remains: Who’s this Old Lady? And why is she so keen on helping you? Whatever’s the case, this is likely not the last time you’ll cross paths.

There’s another helpful little fella that’s crucial to your adventure, and this one looks a lot livelier: Krow!

Ever chirpy and hardworking, Krow is a delivery bird working under the Wing Union; an organization tasked with assisting souls trapped in Limbo. His latest assignment includes delivering letters and packages to Kulebra.

Krow might not be as knowledgeable of the inner workings of Limbo as a certain lady we just talked about, but his innate curiosity and frequent travels let him into rumors and gossip from all around Limbo. If you need to know something, chances are Krow knows a thing or two. He’s a reliable guy!

Even though Krow is wandering in Limbo, he’s still very much alive and still has a long life ahead! Birds are able to enter the realm of the dead as visitors. Better yet, they’re completely unaffected by the curse of Limbo, which is what allows the Wing Union to operate! There are, however, some less-than-honest birds that take advantage of this for their own selfish gains. Krow knows someone like that.

There will be many more Wing Union members that’ll assist you in your quest. You’ll become acquainted (and even friends) with many of the birds that are keeping the gears of this union going. Some might not be as enthusiastic as our Krow, but they all play an important role!

I think it’s time to look at the other souls that are on their own journey through Limbo as well!

The first two lost souls you’ll meet are the two residents in Dead Valley: Flora and Rosa!

Flora and Rosa are the owners of Rosa’s Flower Shop. This daughter and mother duo sell flowers to those interested (and skilled enough). They’re having a liquidation sale and are relocating once they’ve sold all their inventory, including the rare “Estrella” flower. A place named “Dead Valley” it’s probably not the best spot to find potential customers interested in gardening, though.

Despite the store being named after Rosa, Flora does most of the work around the store nowadays (she’s still got her youthful energy after all). Her plans have hit a snag: She’s unable to find the keys to the flower shop’s garden; very unusual from Flora given that she is pretty good at staying on top of things.

Rosa on the other hand, is exclusively spending her time tending to the “Estrella” flower she’s always carrying around, which she takes VERY seriously. She rarely leaves her reclining chair too, and her memory hasn’t gotten any better over the years. She seems content with her daughter’s handling of the store, nonetheless.

While on the surface they don’t look troubled, there’s certainly something [TO FINISH]. At times you catch a glimpse of the underlying grief. May there be a connection between their troubles and their goal of selling all their flowers? Is there anyone else besides Flora & Rosa that knows their story?

And Flora & Rosa’s tale is only one of many...


Limbo is a home to many stories that are still in need of a conclusion: An astronomer looking for a friend they grew apart from; a bartender organizing a coup to overthrow a sheriff ruling with an iron fist; A merchant robot traveling the lands to fulfill their purpose; A wrestler that lost his passion for what he once fought for; A sibling trying to ease up the pain to the person they’ve hurt the most. And more.

The pen to write the happy ending of these souls lies within your hands.

And then there are Blanc Souls! Spirits in Limbo that don’t have strong attachments, and thus, have a weaker presence in land of the dead.

Sport fanaticism exists even in the afterlife.These guys don’t have complex issues, and quite frankly, are not the sharpest tool in the box. However, their simplicity means that it doesn’t take a lot to help them find their way out of Limbo.

There are many types of Blanc Souls with different personalities and attires, but if there’s one thing they all have in common, it’s being silly.

Daytime vs Nighttime. He lost the fight.Unfortunately, there are also many souls that will prove to be an obstacle to reaching the end of the tunnel. Even pacifists like Kulebra are unable to avoid confrontations.

If a soul that is unable and unwilling to face their problems is forced to confront them, there’s a good chance they’ll lash out to avoid facing the truth. The result is the soul losing their identity and becoming what’s known as a Dark Soul.

To help them come back to their former self, you’ll need to remind them who they were by answering various personal questions regarding their previous identity. Getting to know the characters that inhabit Limbo is the key to opening the way forward.

There’s also hints of a dark entity that has become aware of your actions helping other souls in Limbo, and they’re not happy.

It’s unknown why this entity is bothered by your intervention in helping these souls, but one thing is certain: You’ll need to be careful.

(Note: They’ve got a little makeover since the demo was first released. We’ve been busy!)We hope you enjoyed looking at a part of the cast that will be joining Kulebra in his adventure through Limbo. Thank you very much for checking it out and we hope to see you here on our next development blog post. Toodle-oo!

Hello souls of Limbo!

Looking for something wholesome, warm, and whimsical to play during Steam Next Fest? Check out the demo for Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, the upcoming Latin-American flavored narrative adventure from Galla Games and Fellow Traveller!

As Kulebra, a loveable (and quite dead!) snake, you will undertake an afterlife adventure consisting of time loops, puzzle-solving and soul-searching investigations in an effort to break the curse of Limbo - a phenomenon that causes the residents to experience the same day on repeat - and help those lost souls move on.

Along the way, you’ll use your sharp investigative skills, slithery charm and excellent rolling ability, all whilst enjoying a laugh or two.

Check out this segment on the game from last year's Latin American Games Showcase.

You can also find out more about the world of Kulebra in Galla Games’ series of developer blogs which cover the fascinating world of Limbo, showcase the game's unique art and environments, and much more.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new blog later this week!

So don't delay. Grab the demo today and join Kulebra and his friends on an afterlife adventure through the world of Limbo.
