The eerie, kind of creepy atmosphere of 2010's Limbo is captured perfectly in this short film by Jesper Eriksson. It's kind of uncanny, to the point that I was surprised to find no mention of the game in an interview with Eriksson about the short.
If you told me this was Limbo-inspired, I'd have believed you. Especially with the ending, you can kind of look at this film as a prequel to Limbo. Alas, for now--as far as I can tell--this video by PUFFILMS resembling Limbo is a weird coincidence.
EDIT: Eriksson reached out to me and issued the following statement:
"Between Beasts is greatly inspired by Limbo and the works of Tim Burton, I don't know if I can match playdead's or Mr. Burton's brilliance in any way, but they were a large part of my inspiration. Though the short isn't intended as any kind of fan fiction."
