You've heard of Limbo, right?

You know, the monochromatic 2D puzzle-platformer that was first released on Xbox Live back in 2010, and was subsequently ported to PSN, PC, and Mac.

Well, whether you have or you haven't heard of Limbo, it'll be available on the App Store next week. In fact, it'll be available to download on Wednesday, July 3rd.

In Limbo, you take on the role of a young nameless boy, who - upon awakening in an eerie forest on the edge of hell - must avoid environmental hazards and search for his missing sister.

Along the way, you have to overcome a variety of basic puzzles, using your abilities to climb scenery and push and pull objects to your advantage.

Limbo will be compatible with iPad 2 and above; the iPad mini; the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5; and the latest generation of Apple's iPod touch.

It'll set you back £2.99 / $4.99 when it goes on sale next week.
