Majestic Studio's new point and click adventure, Limbo of the Lost appears to hold a dark secret that could land them in a whole heap of trouble, according to GamePlasma's recent review of the game.

The game has just gone on general release and Gameplasma, who are the first site to review the title, believe that some of the level design may have been copied directly from Bethesda's role-playing game, Oblivion. Just take a look at these screenshots and you'll see exactly what he means; it's totally blatant.

"Notice how everything is placed in exactly the same place and almost all of the textures are identical. In fact, the only real difference is the quality of the texture and overall graphical look. Even the portrait that can be seen under the stairs is exactly the same as the one that can be found in Oblivion. Also, take note of the placement of the rug in the middle of the floor and the placement of the stairways. These similarities lead to many questions. How rampant are situations like this in games that fall under the radar of the typical gaming crowd?" reads the review.

It goes without saying that the issues has been flagged with the publisher TriSynergy and a statement sent to Bluesnews claims that the company had no idea and wouldn't have let the game be released had they have known. They have now contacted Majestic and are waiting for a response.

It goes without saying that Oblivion developer, Bethesda will now know of the issue. We get the feeling that Majestic are going to need to shift plenty of copies of Limbo of Lost; they may well need the cash.

It doesn't stop there. Other reports are suggesting that assets may also have been lifted from Thief 3, Silent Hill and Diablo 2. Anyone know a good lawyer?

UPDATE:: Tri Synergy has discontinued distribution of Limbo of the Lost.
