Story timeline

Phigros' story in in-game time. The Tower's history comes from the official Limbo Wiki, and the story told by the Collection sits on the days the game gives it.

Hide community lore

The Limbos Limbos are Tower residents who know who they are outside. They build the Saturn system at the end of the Dragon Palace Era and the Mid-Level as their own home, and awaken in large numbers in 469; Limbo Wiki, Broken Data Research and the Awake Journal are theirs. In Limbo reality the PhigrOS plan wires people's brainwaves into the Tower with nanomachines, and a year inside is about a day outside.

  The exoplanet mirage and planet Ca-773
  In the mid-21st century the ice age came early, and humanity sent out five probe ships to look for a new home, only to learn that every known Earth-like planet within a hundred light-years was a mirage caused by an error in a gravitational-wave theory. The crews that arrived found only collapsed black holes. Two years later another crew stumbled on the planet Ca-773, then lost contact with Earth because its atmosphere blocked their signals.

  In 2089 contact with Ca-773 resumed, and the same year the first PhigrOS experiment began: an organization called the 'Tower' used Jiangyuan Base's medical system to implant nanobiomachines in every registered resident and, through signal base stations, built a shared subconscious world, the Pixel Tower. The experiment rewound the world to 2019 to rebuild Earth. As simulated time neared 2089, doubts about a future no one had reached gave rise to the 'whims', and the experiment slipped out of the Tower's control.

From 25 June team members are door-plate teleported to Glaciaxia and gather on a nameless peak on 28 June, are hit by a sudden blizzard on 29 June and reach the burned-book city of Hamelin on 31 June. From 1 to 4 July they dig in four groups among the ruins with little progress.
Span 469/06/25 to 469/07/04; the log entry for 6/30 is marked 'information missing', the draft ends before its second phase, and it warns the record cannot be proven.

Role-playing history to resonate with Hamelin
With the dig stalled, leader Roberts proposes that each member play one historical viewpoint (Piper, friend, policeman, tabloid reporter, executioner, passerby, cultist, investigative reporter) to resonate with Hamelin's leftover generation value, and the team obtains a set of stories by irrational means. Another page, relaying Else's 469 file, says Roberts and Else built the ritual 'Piper's Ballad' and the whim play 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' in a dig like this one; Roberts was reborn from the whim pollution and forgot it.
Roberts claims to come from a whim-research institution whose boss wrote the forum post. The ritual and play are known only from a later retelling: in a chat on 611/06/23 Roberts reads Else's 469 file and says the two joined a history dig in a book-burned city. UnFtr's user page lists both Roberts and Else on the 469 Hamelin team, so this is most likely the same dig. The sandbox page follows the 7/5 entry with a section titled 'The Piper's Ballad'; the day the ritual was finished is not given.

The Mazarine End swallows the first-generation members
On 29 December 482 the Mazarine End swallows every first-generation member of Broken Data Research; the reborn survivors among the Limbos regain contact over the next two months. The Broken Data Research page describes this as the Daedalus wiping out the Bureau's leads in the most extreme way, with the stolen data, false information and pursuing Bureau agents swallowed and scrambled too; afterwards all the Daedalus but a few Limbos leave the group and its members vanish until 496.
Date from the Arachne page. The Broken Data Research page gives no year and is matched by content (all first-generation members swallowed); it also lists this passage after its paragraph on Arachne's founding in 483, which does not quite fit the Arachne page's 482/12/29.

Fang Jiuming's last visit to Dreamland of Doomsday; Xuanqi is missing
On Fang Jiuming's last tour of Dreamland of Doomsday in 769, Xuanqi, the subspace's owner, is nowhere to be found and only a last note remains. A notebook of Fang Jiuming's on the Dreamland page (collected 769/01/29) is probably that note: it has a foreboding of catastrophe for the Pixel Tower, marvels that the subspace still stands long after Zero-Mirror collapsed, grumbles that Xuanqi has changed its nature again, and lists fixes for each zone.
Two candidates merged: the story page gives only the year 769, while the notebook on the Dreamland page (keeper Fang Jiuming) is dated 769/01/29. Both mention Fang Jiuming, Xuanqi being missing and a note, so they are read as the same visit; matching the notebook to the "last note" is the consolidator's judgement, as neither page says so. The date is the notebook's collection time, taken as its writing date. The Dreamland page ties itself to the Tower calendar (built 616.A.P., closed 772).

Second Surface experiment: how a Tiancang is cast, and where the cluster lies
On the Second Surface the research group creates two blank subspaces with a normal Genesis disc and feeds both the same Tiancang's sky and weather data, then disturbs one hard. The undisturbed one is taken over by the Tiancang and the disturbed one is cast into a new Tiancang that drifts to the cluster, which fixes the cluster's coordinates. A reply confirms another cluster is attached to Haven, and an attached probe record shows time inside runs extremely fast and resets after each simulation.
The date is the collection time (769.A.P.11.02) of report 4 and its attachment, which may not be the day of the experiment itself.

In 2092, a year after the Pixel Tower incident ended, a player logs into the DiveX arcade in New Zhengzhou and is hijacked by the guide AI Tetris into a 'Fantasy World Pixel Tower', where they fight a card-duel qualifier against her (the story frame of the fan card game).
Year 2092 is stated ('公元2092年'); no month or day. This is the fan game's own story frame, not wiki canon.

The Limbo Wiki is founded (a user's draft)
A user's unfinished history draft dates the Limbo Wiki's birth to the evening of 2092-02-17 under freezing winds over Jiangyuan base; over the next two months, it says, Limbos wrote entries, posted puzzles at the Puzzle Depository and moved templates.
Stated in a user's unfinished history draft, not an official page. The wiki already appears in earlier events (the Phigros entry of 2091/08/31, the editorial office on 771/12/23), which clashes with this date. The draft's own log links carry offsets such as 20200218163751, 72 years earlier; the page does not explain this.

AI rebel infighting; the Jiangyuan and Mars bases are destroyed
In 2093 the AI resistance fights internally; the base at Jiangyuan is wrecked by a falling spacecraft, the base on Mars is nuked, and a flaw in the plan's AIs is exposed, shocking the resistance.
From the sandbox's 'lr' (Limbo reality) timeline, part of a fan Omega-5 storyline. The page writes the base name as the template {{:ω-5}}, which renders as '[BLOCKED]', so the exact name is unknown.

The first logged day of the Team-Building Field chat
The log of the fan group chat Team-Building Field starts on mapped time 01/11/29; members joke that Broken Data Research's article count has passed the 'Astronomy and Geography' category.
Dated with the page's own rule that mapped time is Limbo reality time minus 2092 years (01/11/29 becomes 2093/11/29); the page never gives a Gregorian date. In the log a member says Broken Data Research was set up only a few days ago, which clashes with its appearance in earlier events such as 671 A.P., so read it as chat banter. Later records partly fit the Gregorian calendar (02/01/31 is greeted as New Year's Eve) but the 01/12/18 record already speaks of Christmas Eve, so the calendar is still an open question. The Team-Building Field is a fan group chat, so this is a community marker, not a story beat.

First Q&A with deathMark at the Gino Star Observatory
On New Year's Eve the members of the Gino Star Observatory chat group question deathMark about annihilation, the Mazarine End, how the Tower and Limbo reality relate, the narrow and broad Babel and more. The log is filed as an interview page in the Puzzle Depository, the first of the interview series.
Date from the interview template ({{访谈|...|2093/12/31}}) and the page title; the page slug 20931232 reads as 12/32, an open question. The chat is a wiki-community happening, so it is recorded as community.

Checkbox whims show up in the Mid-Autumn 'Moon Landing' puzzle
On Mid-Autumn 2094 (8th lunar month, day 15), Moonlight, a member of the Puzzle Depository, sets the 'Moon Landing' puzzle through a Pigeon Games promotional image. Checkbox whims then turn up in the solvers' chat groups, among them '1111', who claims to be a Pigeon Games program, and spread false clues for the five days of the event.
The page gives only the lunar date (8th month, day 15), so the date is the year alone. The existing event c8-flight-broadcast (772/08/01) cites the Moon Landing puzzle page this entry describes, under a different date; the two are not reconciled.

Gino Star Observatory interviews deathMark (second session)
On 2094/01/01 members of the Gino Star Observatory interview deathMark in a chat; the log is kept in the Puzzle Depository. They cover the newcomer guide and where personal analysis pieces belong, and ask whether anyone ends up on the Moon or Mars in Limbo reality; deathMark answers no.
Title and template both give 2094/01/01. The page lists 2093/12/32 as the first session and 2094/01/02 as the third, so this is the second; the series runs to 2096/09/09 in seven sessions (pages 20931232, 20940101, 20940102, 20940106, 20940124, 20940430, 20960909). It records a wiki activity, not a Tower event. It is community because a user recorded and trimmed the transcript; deathMark's answers are kept separately as interview notes.

Interview record of 2094/01/24 (fifth in the series)
The record named 20940124 in the Puzzle Depository is a transcript of an interview held in a chat group. Its talk page says only that the text was fixed when it went live on Limbo Wiki and was moved over bit by bit; the interview's content is not given.
Date read from the page name 20940124 and from comments of 25–26 January that treat 24 January as already past. The main record page is not in this batch, so who was interviewed is unknown. 'Fifth' comes from the series list on the other interview pages.

Sixth interview with deathMark (Broken Data Research Team-Building Field members)
On 2094/04/30 members of the Broken Data Research Team-Building Field question deathMark in a chat about whims and AI, whim levels and pollution, the PhigrOS terminal and the Tower's network, whether subspaces can leave the Tower, and why Cronos is called a 'sacrifice'.
The date is the template and page-name date (20940430) on a page in the category 林泊现实 (Limbo reality). The page is an edited chat log, so the event is community; deathMark's own answers are kept separately as interview notes. The other sessions are pages 20931232, 20940101, 20940102, 20940106, 20940124 and 20960909.

Awake Journal vol.5, guests Yoso and Geopelia
Vol.5 of the Limbo-reality edition comes out on 2094/09/05 with Yoso and Geopelia as guests. Reader questions for the issue were collected on the talk page until 23:59 Beijing time on 3 September.
The date and both guests come from the issue list on the official page (vol.0 to vol.22), so the event is marked official; the talk page names only Yoso and gives the question deadline.

Aalto and Arktp watch the iced-over Earth from the station
Jotting 20941114: Aalto's screen has 'captured' Earth, which Arktp calls just a misted ball of ice. She then jets out of the hatch on a jetpack and brings back a satellite as 'a piece of the stars', and the two ('the black goats') go back to their quarters.
20941114 is the heading of the jotting and equals the page's creation date (2022-11-14) plus the wiki's usual 72-year offset, so it may stamp the writing day rather than a story date. The page never says 'Omega'; the link to the Omega story rests on matching characters and motifs (Aalto and Arktp, the coolant, the held cup, the deep-red planet).
