A monster-management simulator that’ll have you questioning whether life is truly worth living or not (there is no way THAT is a Zayin-tier abnormality).

It’s quite fun but also very frustrating to go through at times… special thanks to BongBong, Homura, Madoka, and Ji-nae, my best employees :')

…I was trying to post a photo of its logo, but this damn app won’t let me.

    Binged the game in a month about two years ago, I did everything, including the flyiig bean and the triple bird, great game, unique experience, I love it and I fucking hate it at the same time lol

    The game is ruthless and not for the faint of heart, I think you may need to be a certain degree of masochist or something to do everything in it, I also remember needing the performance mod for the later stages of the game.

    I’ve been waiting a few years to forget more about it so I can replay it again as blind as possible.

        I got the bean early and to restart on lik day 15 on my first run, then just avoided it until the end and had a somewhat peaceful facility

        As for the month, out of school and no job at the time, but also some level of hyperfixation with the game, maybe

        Yeah I won’t forget everything but I just want to not know the answer to how to handle everything on first replay

        ps Melting Love my beloved

          Melting love 🤤 I can’t wait for her to appear during limbus’ walpurgis… I so badly hope rodya gets her (imagine rodya getting infected and thinking she was the chosen one and finally special ,only for melting love to infect everyone else and proving that shes not?)

          In my current run the most troublesome thing I have rn is the llama but she’s easy to deal with as long as I pause every 2 seconds to make sure all the corridors are clear www , it’s been rather peaceful so far,

          Oh, i see… I just got out of my summer holidays, but I didn’t rlly play as much as I should’ve… now I kinda regret it lol

          Fair enough, the best part about the game is learning about all the little gimmicks of the abnormalities khahaha

    I’ve heard of it vaguely just because I played a bit of limbus company (and liked the characters more than the gameplay tbh). How’s lobotomy compared to limbus? Is the gameplay similar at all?

      Yeah lcb’s gameplay isn’t the best… the story is it’s charm

      As for l corp’s gameplay, it is VERY different. It’s a rogue-like management simulator that expects you to reset and rewind your progress throughout the game in order to complete it… you have to manage the abnormalities you pick, and they each have their own requirements for keeping them content (some more complicated than others. The higher the tier, the more complicated the abnormalities usually get, although that ain’t always rhe case). You can look up gameplay compilations on YouTube;; each run is always different lol

      The story, similar to lcb’s, is great too and very character-driven… to the point where it directly affects your gameplay (and graphics in some instances).

    Great game and great universe and story that expands itself into Library of Ruina and Limbus Company.

    I also loved designing my employees for each department, like having the disciplinary department full of red haired people that are very edgy or battle ready as it fits the theme of disciplinary people that lived through plenty of battles, or Extraction team with only one captain, and all the rest are sacrificial fodders used to manage some ALEPH.

    I did cheat towards the end as it was getting very hard, but, very fun story and experience and going to Ruina afterwards and seeing all my employees take the stage once again alongside their managers was great.

      Yeahh, customising the employees is quite fun (and so is sifting through a bunch of randomly-generated ones until u find some1 that looks good to save the extra lob point, lol)

      I’m actuslly surprised ppl can finish the entire game without cheating… some of those suppressions are NOT it. On a side note, I am quite excited to try out lor , I want bongbong by my side. Forever.

    I had a friend try to get me into it (and Limbus Company). Limbus Company i gave a shot because it was free. It being a Gacha though i just couldn’t get into. Anything that tries to keep my attention with FOMO i never end up sticking with for too long.

    Lobotomy looked interesting though, i did pick it up on sale but have yet to touch it. I don’t know much about it though.

      Imo limbus doesn’t even have true FOMO, walpurgis IDs come back every 2-3 months and everything else can be purchased at ur own pace (although, I do understand u, since the mechanics of thr shard shop does encourage u to play a bit during the season if u want the seasonal egos and IDs)

      To understand lobotomy best you’d need to look at gameplay videos + the trailers, you play as a manager who has to control their facility and ensure that ur employees keep the abnormalities content (with the help of an AI named Angela lol). The story’s pretty cool, and it has different endings like a VN too (the true ending is a pain to get tho, the games a major time sink? Investment? Smth like that)

    I’ve owned this game for a long time. Never can get into it. Bounced off limbus company too

    Got more time in library of runia but not much. It’s a shame because the world of the games really draws me in.

    I have played through it, with the True Ending (without the extra scenes one). Jeez it was absolutely BRUTAL. Truly this was the hardest game for me, period, due to it’s relentless punishing and testing the human determination to push through adversity even if it seems impossible.

        I recommend getting some good gear which has a high white resistance (I think that’s what you need for Censored?) and you can sorta easily get a high white resistance gear from Blue Star. That’s also an ALEPH, but imo it’s easier to work with that compared to Censored, but if he escapes you’re equally fucked as with Censored.

          He does black damage im p sure ;-; thing is, in my run w censored (before I rewinded) my best black res gear was magic bullet… there were rare moments where my very best employee managed to do his work properly without going insane but it’s still not something I’m willing to go through again ;_;

          Whenever he escaped I didn’t even hesitate to restart the day j try again, hes just horrible (bluestar’s legs are NOT worth the entire department dying, BUUUTTTTT I kinda wanna see it in action lol)

            Ahh yeah you’re right, Censored indeed does black damage, but Blue Star’s EGO suit provides a 0.4 resistance against black, which coupled with a lvl 5 character is a safe and consistent farming route. That’s what I did.

    I’ve never played this one, but I’ve heard a bunch of the music. Some bangers in there.

    I did also try Limbus Company for a bit, that seems to continue the same story to some extent (shared world and some returning characters I think). It’s weird ass gacha game though and while it was cool I ended up losing interest after a while.

      Lob corp’s trumpet osts r so simple yet so catchy… esp for 2nd trumpet, it rlly gives u the burst of energy and determination u need to fix the mess u caused…

      I do love limbus tho and will always bring it up in barely-related conversations but yeah, it ain’t for everyone*… it is a continuation of l corp, although it occurs after the events of lor/library of ruina. The story’s only been getting better, but waiting for each canto is such a drag… (canto8 released in may and canto 9’s target release date is December…)

    I loved the game but day 48-50 were impossible for me. The game has a memory leak. If you don’t do it fast enough, the game will crawl until it dies.

          Well, u can always remove the mod and start again ig lol… (T▽T)

          I’ll prolly check for mods that fix the memory leak later, my computer is old enough and, quite frankly, it does not need that in its life rn
