Limbus Company is a mysterious company that operates in The City.
Your main department (the one you control) is the LCB (Limbus Company Bus). Your official job title is:
Recover the Golden Boughs, extremely powerful objects that were scattered throughout the former facilities of Lobotomy Corporation (L Corp.) after its fall.
Travel through the different Districts of the City on the Mephistopheles bus, guided by Vergilius.
Use the 12 Sinners (including Dante) to fight, explore, and obtain those Golden Branches.
Although that's the official objective they're given, the story makes it clear that Limbus Company has much bigger and more secret plans. Faust seems to know more than he's letting on, and the company has other departments (like LCA, LCD, etc.) that handle different things, from research to more clandestine operations.
In summary:
Limbus Company presents itself as a company that "recovers dangerous technology from L Corp.", but in reality, it is involved in something much bigger related to the power of the Golden Branches and the future of The City.

The City is a vast metropolis, roughly the size of a small country (approximately 35,000 km²), with a population of about 7 billion. It is considered humanity's last bastion. It is surrounded by the Outskirts and bordered to the south by the Great Lake. Beneath it lie the Ruins.
The City is divided into 26 Districts, each governed by a megacorporation called Wing. Each District is divided into:
Nest: a safe and prosperous area controlled and protected by the Wing.
Backstreets: dangerous, abandoned, crime-ridden areas controlled by Syndicates.
The supreme power in The City is The Head, which directly controls the three central districts through A Corp., B Corp., and C Corp.
