Limbo and War of Worlds broacast


When the game first started I was very confused because there were no instructions provided. At first I just started at the screen assuming the game was loading then before figuring out that I had to press buttons which made the character come to life. At first I assumed that the character was just a little zombie and perhaps we were to aid him in a mission to come back to life, however, after researching the definition of limbo I found out that refers to infants who died before being baptized, after learning the definition I felt as though I was able to have more insight on the character’s story.
Although there were some gruesome and unexpected deaths of the character which at times made me suspicious of the surrounds, as though my character might always be in danger; overall the game was extremely fun to play.
After hearing the War of Worlds broadcast I thought that the reaction the public had back then was incredible since the broadcast was only about an hour long. I actually saw a video about the operators who worked the phones that night and one woman call a about a man was willing to shoot his entire family before the Martians got to them.
Both Limbo and the War of Worlds broadcast I believe dealt with the way in which we can immerse ourselves into the virtual forms of alternate realities and believe them as if they were real.
