remind me not to look up game theories and cry myself to sleep over them
the "Limbo" theory
limbo.wikia.com/wiki/Story_The…
"The boy died in the forest and awakes in Limbo (which is the world between life and death).
Every obstacle in the game represents a fear of the boy. As he progresses to find his sister, he faces his fear of drowning, darkness, spiders, bullies/people, being powerless (Mind-control grubs), heights, and finally, death.
According to many old tales, the soul can only get out of Limbo until the body is properly buried.
The boy continues through Limbo until his sister found and buried his body. So in the ending scene, she is not digging but she is covering his grave. She senses him and he sees her one last time before going to heaven.
Further proof of his death is in the ending credits scene and the beginning, the ladder is now tattered, and flies are heard zooming around feasting on his dead body."

So basically, Limbo Boy is dead, creates his own inner turmoil of a hell he has to overcome, escapes the Limbo, and sees his (alive) sister (who is burying his body), and she senses him and he gets to see her one last time
before he climbs the ladder to the "treehouse" or rather, heaven
well
Ouch
that hurt more than it should have
Looks like his sister is stuck with the flies, and he gets carried away by the butterflies
