Pitstop in Purgatory

Pitstop in Purgatory shows how much a visual novel can gain when mixed with point-and-click exploration, meaningful choices and a story full of heart. Its limbo feels melancholic and welcoming, although the English-only text clearly limits its reach.

Pitstop in Purgatory is macabre yet soothing. It’s a wholesome and, at times, wickedly cruel jab to your heart and senses that still manages to feel like a virtual comforter due to its sheer optimism about death — or rather, the celebration of life after death. With lovingly caring and considerate messages, memorable characters you’ll fondly appreciate and care about, and two key mysteries that will keep you interested and committed to solving from beginning to end, Pitstop in Purgatory is a must-play.
