Small Dev Steals Assets from Other Games

Allegations are flying across several forums, including NeoGAF, that the 2D point and click adventure further "borrows" from a truly staggering amount of other titles, including:
  • Epic's Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004 (PC)
  • Konami's Silent Hill series
  • Lionhead's Black & White 2 (PC)
  • Blizzard's Diablo 2 (PC)
  • Troika's Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (PC)
  • Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC, Xbox)
  • The 1997 film Spawn
It is again worth noting that work first began on Limbo in 1995. It was then put on hold and, going by the game's site, restarted in 2002..
