Lobotomy Corporation | Monster Management Simulation

Funny game that houses the funny thingymagigs that do funny and kill your entire facility.

Truly the game ever!

Good lore, but most of it you can only get from mid to end game. Repetitive gameplay which is not so bad if not for all the shenanigans the game throws at you to kill off all your team and make you restart the game multiple times. Lots of annoying and irritating mechanics at certain stages like preventing you from pausing the game while all hell breaks loose, or penalising you whether you get good results or bad results (only normal results are not punished). Game autosaves every day with no manual saves, so expect multiple reloads.

Lovely game, great game. I hate it so much. 10/10 project moon did a great job, would not recommend.

great management simulator

ego is a very fun concept and all the abnormalities are given interesting stories alongside having fun gear to play with

this game is moderately difficult but very rewarding

very fun if you like coming up with strategies and adapting to your own unique facility alignment

Under any circumstances, any pressure, do not but this game. The perceptual terror I went through just trying to complete a single day is unimaginable. 10/10 The tags to the game make sense.

The best game ever, the best one, its the best, i would say its the best game out of all the games, ngl top 1 game, rank 1, also hot mommy angela

First 45 days are a cool SCP-esque monster management sim. Days 46+ are a series of incredibly unfun challenges, that make sure you will get bald from all the hair you pulled out after each time RNG screwed you.
Game is a really cool concept, but it becomes so unfun to play later on.

its hard but with the wiki at your side its also fun can be grindy

Despite its many flaws, I am quite fond of Lobotomy Corporation. Yes, the game is difficult, but that's the intention. The time you spend dying and learning about the abnormalities you manage feels rewarding because you're learning through your own sweat and tears. It's why I don't recommend looking at the wiki or anything (well, I'll get back to this point), as the joy in roguelikes is discovering things through your own mistakes and building your own personal knowledge through the trials you face. You will die miserably, but you retain knowledge and much of your meta progress when you reset, so don't be afraid to reset the week or even to day 1 if you don't think you can handle something. The story of this game starts simple and gets more esoteric as things go on, and much is left unexplained until near the end. But, I was invested in the story for all of my 200 or so hours playing and it was what drove me to continue despite the... issues with the game.

Despite being a genuinely fun game, Lobcorp is very flawed. It's coded terribly, with a massive memory leak issue that will cause your game to slow down or crash during the later portions. I got unlucky and in multiple instances had my game crash at the final moments of some this game's "boss fights". As well, some features just... don't work? There are a couple things the game tells you that just aren't true because the code for them wasn't implemented properly. And beyond bugs, there are other issues like one I faced that forced me to do a day 1 reset on day 45 (costing me several hours). Although I'm a massive advocate for going into games blind, pull up the wiki when you get to the endgame. It'll save you the headache of dealing with both the game's hardest challenges and its buggy code at the same time. I had enough of a headache dealing with

Even if I complain, I do love this game. The characters, story, and satisfaction of learning how to beat anything the game can throw at you make this a great experience. The gameplay challenges reminded me of my experience first playing ADOM (a classic Roguelike and one of my top games of all time), and that sort of magic is hard to come by. If you can stomach the memory leak issues, I think this game is worth your time, as watching a story synopsis doesn't compare to experiencing this game yourself.

Honestly a great management game. the game has some flaws. but are worth dealing with as it's quite a one kind of experiance for it's genre. it's not a for everyone game. but man if you like it... you're going to be dealing with so much pain and suffering as shit starts hitting the fan quick.

i personally didn't have much issue with difficulty spikes the difficulty scales pretty fairly. it's very important that you do your quests when you are able to the unlocks are permanent across runs and will make a huge difference.

granted at times you can end up with a very unfortunate combo of abnormalities like the infamous on death abno's that exsits. one or two are fine but collect em all and it goes from bad to very bad quick.

and when stuff get's bad don't pray to god. he's not here to help.

Never forget day 49

Great game would highly recommend! Good Story well written lore is well fleshed out despite the games smaller scope all things considered. Pretty good gameplay loop though it does get a bit stale by the end wish the abnos broke out more and acted more different from one another but it's a minor issue and the end game shakes things up more though day 49 is a bit much. The abnos are all fantasticly designed and written many spooky lads and goofy gals. Sound track is pretty darn good all the tracks do a good job getting the right mood across.

I strongly dislike trains, am now deathly afraid of birds and despise orchestras 8.5 out 10

Lobotomy Corporation is a resource management game about taking care of little monsters and critters created from the human subconscious. Already, this idea rocks. The story makes it rock harder - so hard in fact, it may rock your socks off. This game is also an entry point into the broader Project Moon universe, and as such has no prerequisite knowledge of their other media. Which might seem like, you know, a given. But with Project Moon their other games expect you to have knowledge of their previous media.

What Project Moon is also famous for is difficulty. And this game is DIFFICULT. I really wish the devs would make difficulty levels for their games - because some feel literally impossible without a guide. In Lobotomy Corporations case, it's all about trial and error. You have no idea what works for taking care of certain monsters. A lot of them also instantly kill your employees if not dealt with correctly. This game has permadeath. As such, your characters you've invested a ton of resources into can just die, instantly, without any indication you were doing something wrong. The game mitigates this by having a restart day and restart week function they expect you to use. Even a restart playthrough button where you keep all your resources but start again from day 1. I'm not sure how I feel about this system. I both love and hate it. But if you hate repetitive work or feeling your progress stripped from you, Lobcorp probably isnt for you.

I feel like I ramble when I come to these games. Its so hard to recommend them to the general public because they are so niche. I adore them though. So, of course I recommend the game. Ultimately with all of Project Moons products I think you should do your own research.

Incredibly fun but also challenging as each abno has different work types and needs but not recomended to people who doesnt like incredibly hard games but if your here for a challenge play this game! but make sure to have fun

One of the greatest stories I've ever experienced within the confines of one of the HARDEST GAMES I'VE EVER BEATEN. Ahhh glory to project moon, for Hod's sake. Give it a try if you have the time please.

It's as the title say's, this gave give's you a lobotomy.
And it's worth it for the price and story that come's with it.

Good game, don't think less of yourself for failing, this shit is hard.

I sacrificed many nuggets to finish Lobotomy Corporation, and BongBong is one of my nuggets that has survived till the end. I loved the characters and abnormalities in this game. Lobotomy Corporation has an amazing soundtrack, and the story is pretty good. Some days can be very challenging, even trying to save all your beloved nuggets. Need to get the sequel and play it someday. 10/10 Game Angela Binah and Gebura, my beloved

I spent 30 minutes staring at a box with a keyhole in the front wondering why it kept killing the agent I sent into it's containment and rampaging throughout the facility while simultaneously trying to keep Chris Redfeild from re5 from going insane constantly. Good game. Very silly.

The game play loop was amazing. This was such a fun experience. I do not agree with the difficulty being that bad. But, I will definitely say the game has some very difficult scenarios. Right of passages one might call them. Whether you use abnormalities in a way to 'cheese' certain things or raw dog certain fights. The game is not perfect. The abnormalities are not equal. And from my perspective you will have to go through at least 3 play-throughs before being able to 'complete' the story. The management aspect of this game hits all the right spots for me. I would highly recommend this experience.

I hate this game and this game hates me. But it was fun, really fun.

Finally got the 100%, such an awesome game, highly recommend it. I came for the "managing SCPs is funny" part, but I definitely stayed for the amazing story. I can't underline just how good it is, and I am now going to play the sequel. Play it, and thanks to the devs for such a good game!!

The game isn't actually hard, despite what others say. It's just VERY repetitive. A lot of players confuse repetition for difficulty.
This is because of multiple factors:
1 Executing Clerks over and over and over again is a MUST for a lot of abnormalities, and that gets really tedious to do every day.
2 Something WILL go wrong, you WILL forget that you have 'Magic Bullet' equipped on that one nugget while you're fighting something and everyone is dying and you're thinking to yourself "But I had everyone in the right spot?"
3 Forgetting what an Abnormality does, miss-clicking, or not paying attention.
4 You WILL have to repeat the day.
5 If you are going for the true ending, you WILL have to use the memory repository, which means the prior 1,
2 and 3 have many more chances of occurring.

6 Oh yeah, and you can't forget the soundtrack you'll be hearing for 90% of the game... I know I can't forget.

Anyways, Yes, I would recommend this game to others. Despite it's incredible repetition, the Project Moon lore is definitely in the top 10 lore's of all time.

The most frustrating and difficult miti tasking game I have ever played makes me want to go to a lobotomy corporation to clear my mind

This game is a very fun and difficult game at the same time it also has tones of strategy. Would totally recommend to others

Ah, Lobotomy Corporation. The game where everything can go downhill in a matter of seconds.

In all seriousness though, it is quite enjoyable from my playthroughs. All abnormalities are quite interesting, especially when it comes down to their lore. Gameplay is quite engaging, and the story is quite enjoyable. However, the main issue often arises when it comes to difficulty. There is a lot to focus on in the game, especially when it comes down to managing employees and abnormalities, and many employees could be lost if not properly prepared. If people are willing to handle through such difficulty however, then I am sure it'll be a nice experience to go through. If not, I would not advise forcing through it as it may dampen the experience.

I think this is really a game where you either love it, or you hate it. I fall into the former camp 100%. I do recommend any LoR fans to try it, but if you dislike the gameplay loop don't force yourself through it just to see all the story first-hand.

This game is soooooooooo cool. the monsters are very cool and all of the robot people are pretty neat. The only problem is the freaking grinding required to get the true ending. However other then that it is very good. The sound track is pretty cool and so is the story.

The facility does get a bit lively at times but on the early days, it's so grim and quiet, I'd even dare to say it's filled with black silence...

Shockingly fun game as long as you have the willpower to pull through. Full of depressed twinks and girlfailure. Realistic gameplay makes it so when your employees take sanity damage, you do too! 10/10 would be lobotomized again.

um jogo muito bom com uma otima historia e worldbuilding mas incrivelmente dificil (e meio entendiante) o jogo é bem dificil no começo e te faz pensar em desistir de tentar ir mais pra frente na gameplay mas depois que voce pega o jeito das coisas voce acaba conseguindo fazer um monte de coisa com mais facilidade mas o jogo ainda vai ser bem dificil eu recomendo baixar alguns mods para nao deixar o jogo tao entediante ja que a gameplay dele acaba ficando bem repetitiva

I needed a guide from my friend to get how this game works. BUT when you get it, it's really good!
Story is good, Gameplay is engaging and sometimes very hard.

This game is alot of fun but it's really hard and at times frustrating but it's all worth it when everything is going smoothly

Very fun SCP-like management sim with a interesting visual novel plotline which all I can say is dark but peak fiction. The game is very difficult, very very difficult, if you don't prep in advance. Losing heavily invested employees will make you hit that "Retry Day" over and over and over again.

However here's a Helpful tip: Employees gain in stats after working on a abnormality, especially on those with higher risk levels, so having them repeatedly do a specific work type will train that employee skill in that type. Meaning it is possible to have your employees trained to higher levels for free (although the cost would be your time unless you set a macro). I have spent hours doing that and in every department I have them filled with fully level 5 employees who are maxed in every stat. THIS HELPS IMMENSELY WITH THE STRUGGLES YOU WILL FACE LATE GAME.

It is the hardest management simulator i've ever experienced so far

The game is an endless onslaught of discovery, muscle memory, trial and error, and slow descent to madness

Would distort again for energy, face the fear build the future

This game fucking peaks if you look away for one second your entire facility will become a mess. There is also a funny magical girl and goofy big bird 10/10, would recommend

This game is both not merciful and merciful with the way it allows your facility to get destroyed so easily but you can just reset it ;-;

its like kinda hard and can get tedious when it feels like you cant pass a day no matter what you do, but its fun

This game absorbed my entire being for two weeks, put almost ninety hours into it across my first run and my second 100% true ending run. A truly unique experience that I treasured, takes a lot of patience and willingness to make mistakes and learn from them, but almost every retry I had was my fault at the end of the day, any RNG can be manipulated to your favor(sans violet midnight), and generally it's an incredible experience and a fantastic story. Also fuck this game it's an asshole. Library of Ruina here I come!

A game with an interesting premise but seems to actively hate the player. Half of it was fun, but towards the end there are numerous hard coded things which impair accessibility. Even if you don't have issues playing, they're unfun to push through even perfectly able-bodied. Add on to the fact the game is setup such you can't even get the 'proper' ending in a single playthrough due to arbitrary design without knowing ahead of time to do specific actions at a specific time. And it already takes long enough to get through one playthrough to the end section.

Got sick of the frustrating mechanics and ultimately just DNF because it downright does not respect a person's time and a quick check I didn't see any mods to remove the frustrating bits. Half my playtime is probably from pausing during the last 1/5 of the game due to needing to constantly write down/note things and juggle stuff only for one RNG check go against me, or lose track of one person which causes a cascade of everything going to crap.

It's... it's just so peak...

This game is evil, unfair, buggy, prone to instability and crashing, badly optimized and made with abundant malice.
That being said, it is a very enjoyable experience. It is very strange that it took so long for an SCP management game to come out (what do you mean I'm playing this 6 years late?).

It is difficult to explain exactly what is so good about this game. In brief, it takes place in a very interesting universe, has memorable characters, a fairly unique gameplay loop featuring really cool "abnormalities" and it presents very daunting challenges with commensurately large rewards.

what i like about this game is that there is no difficulty slider so i cant woos out if the game gets too hard.i am stuck on day 11 and will be stuck on day 11 untill i get good enough.other games are too scared to do this.even hell divers is too scared to not have a difficulty slider and they tossed assist setting out the window.buy this game,let it make you its bitch,then make it your bitch 42\39

This game feels like a 9-5 job that makes me want to smash my head against a wall, get a lobotomy and throw my pc out the window and i love it

Playing this game is like getting your balls stepped on. You hate that it hurts, but you also like it so much that you want it to happen over and over again. God, I want Binah to step on my balls.

Game is very very hard, but funonce you get the hang of it. The story is very interesting, and I suggest people play without spoilers. Also play Library of Ruina.

(Edit: My friend said this review feels like it was written by a bot. Well I'm not a bot. Woohoo!)

This game is only as hard as the reviews make it out to be during some moments. Beautiful story and characters, it's also very satisfying once you actually beat the hard stuff

SPOILER day 49 I FINALY DID IT! and GOD DO I HAVE BINAH no EVERY person in facility hates binah
because when i stared 50 clerks strated shoting the spot where binah died

Very good game, not usally my kind of game but lore and story make it worth going out og my comfort zone

very fun, i cannot and will not let any of my employees die (except verasquelez he was made to die)

Lobotomy Corporation, on top of its intricate, tragic story, meddles with the unique concept of "we'll try to immerse you into the pain of the story by making *YOU* feel as much of that pain". The game is a damn pain in the ass, and completing a single day can last several hours, and take days of attempts, which is exactly what the characters of the story are suffering with as well.
The game is ugly, it is gritty, it is hard, it makes me want to cry, and damn is it good.

Don't look at my playtime. It just means the game is so good I played it years ago when I was broke and bought it later just to respect it

A lot of waiting around for meters to fill, supplemented by tedious trial and error gameplay, the UI is all over the place and controlling agents is a pain in the ass. Some of the guidelines for abnormalities are way longer than they need to be and can be pretty vague, adding to the confusion of balancing all the spinning plates you have in an unnecessary and frustrating way. I'll keep playing because people say the story's great but I'm running out of steam and so far I honestly don't get the hype, it's just Korean SCP. If I don't have many hours past this point, you'll know I dropped it.

The game is fun and all that, but this is probably one of the worst gaming experiences of all time, if you wanna go through hell, then go ahead nobody is stopping you. This game might seem like a pushover at first, but it will SUCK later on. All in all, if you want to play it, please do, this game will teach you a whole lot of discipline, self control, and patience, and the story is really good. ALSO SCREW THE TTTRAAAAIIIIN.
