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

Oh man, so where do I even start with “Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo”? There’s just something about it that kinda sticks, you know? It’s like this chill little world made of paper, and bam — you’re in the afterlife. I remember thinking, “Wow, what a concept. Like, a paper afterlife?” Wild, right?

Anyway — wait, no — back up. So, you’re Kulebra. A snake. (Yeah, my buddy laughed when I told him that.) Your job? Help out the souls in Limbo to… I dunno, move on or something. It’s all about making sure these folks get a chance to break out of their endless loops. It’s like being stuck in a time loop where nothing happens. Sounds like a Monday, doesn’t it? But there’s more, if you scratch below the surface a bit.

Imagine this: every single day goes from, well, day to dusk to night. But it’s the same loop. Kinda like clockwork. You gotta mix things up or else you’ll get caught in this eternal swirl of nothingness. Not my kind of party! But hey, good thing there’s this nifty little notebook. Jotting down clues? Essential. But really, who doesn’t like a journal? Feels retro.

Oh, and you’re not just strolling aimlessly. There’s a system to it. Use your stick — not an actual stick, ha! — I mean, the analog stick on your controller. Get those items, chat up the other souls, hit that A button. Sometimes it’s like, “okay, what now?” But then you find you gotta mash some items together. Like, surprise, you need to think a bit. Fun, yeah?

I should mention this: there’s this Old Lady — she’s wrapped in vines. And you’re like, “Should I help? Do I even know what I’m doing?” But you gotta find something sharp — scissors, that’s it! Help her out or she’ll just stay stuck. Phew. Talk about pressure!

So all these bits and pieces somehow come together, and, oh right, before I forget, it’s on the Nintendo Switch for like 20 bucks. Feels like a nice little escape that won’t empty your pockets. Anyway, if you’re into unique, quirky games that feel like piecing a puzzle together in this tangible world of papery afterlife… well, maybe give it a whirl. Or don’t. But if you do, it’s a ride — even if it circles back on itself.

Alright, that’s my piece. Hope something in there made sense. 🌱
