The Entire Story of Lobotomy Corporation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- Welcome to the City. Hope you're ready for a lesson in lore. Project Moon's universe for their games is well known for being off-the-walls bonkers insane, and the story of the series, while fantastic, can be confusing. Or maybe you just never finished the games because they were too hard.
Regardless, that's why I'm here. In this video, I go over the entire story of the first game in the Project Moon universe; Lobotomy Corporation. Basically, some weird guy in a lab coat's wife dies and he does warcrimes and SCPs about it. At least there's no metaphor, foreshadowing, or biblical parallels in the story. That would be crazy. Thanks for watching.
I'll see you soon.

11:30 Idk if Ayin being there meant as a joke but Carmen was the one who approved Enoch to take part in the experiment, that is why she bears the most guilt. The reason Ayin continuing the experiments/plan was because Carmen told him if something ever happened to her she want him to finish what she started. They can't get K-corp ampule probably because they didn't had fund for it or it will attract The Head attention, as they are relatively small researcher group from the Outskirt.
Ayin was able to recover Carmen's still living nervous system I'm pretty sure he didn't heal or put Carmen in a robot body mostly because
1. The most important thing, in her current state she had become a massive well of cognito, and she effectively sacrificed herself to get breakthrough in acquiring the one thing that had become the massive in the project
2.carmen was no longer mentally in any state to fufill her dream
In short Ayin took the action that Carmen would have wanted him to take to fufill the promise
You promised 52 minutes, not 52:42. Liar, to the warp train you go for 42 seconds
wow, you really doomed him into 5 Warp train trips.
@zetroll0372 Five!?! Bro will be older then time atp
5 warps!!?!
the 42 seconds are used in the outro, thus he is not at fault
Ain't no way, Lobco....
Ain't no way
Ain't no
Ain't
.
Ayin no way...
Ayin actually didn't delete his memories at first. It's even implied that he went through the first loops while keeping his memories, until he finally broke and begged Angela to do it. Shown in LoR when Angela states that in the end Ayin was just a man. Also, we don't have any proof of people developing E.G.O before the White Nights and Dark Days before Gebura, and her case has to do with the influence of the Nothing There blade she was using (given to her by Carmen)
I assumed those were just versions of X that failed. Examples including the version of X before Angela installed the cognition filter apologizing to her in Lob Corp.
Angela states that many managers lost their mind on the very seat X was on before the filter. She also states that X has it easy compared to his predecessors. Assuming none of this is made up info that Angela uses to pamper and encourage X, this implies Angela made many amenities for X's benefit that she felt were necessary for his success, like the cognition filter.
I’m the correction guy so have fun.
2:55 the city is divided into 26 areas called districts each ruled by a megacorporation called a wing (short for wings of the world) named for each letter of the alphabet.
4:32 extortion only occurs in fallen nests and while the wing is still protecting the nest no syndicates can hold territory.
5:08 abnormalities are far from a normal thing in the city outside of lobotomy Corporation branches as corporations have no real way of fighting against them as seen in K Corp during limbus.
9:07 it is worth noting that Ayin’s goal was always just to be with/help Carmen and he never actually cared about the seed of light project.
10:03 Lisa and Enoch were rescued from the outskirts not the backstreets.
12:29 it is implied that Carmen did what she did because the researchers knew that she was the most fit candidate to become the well. and she made Ayin promise that no matter what happens to her, he will see it through to completion. In essence Carmen knew that the only way to progress the project was to abandon morals which was impossible for her but she knew Ayin would do anything she asked of him. So yeah you can kinda see how she could be interpreted as evil.
13:17 the source of cogito is like a spring, brain bar carmen is a well(cause that’s where Lobco gets it) and a bucket is a person.
13:26 Ego was not formed through personal will until after the light was released. Cogito forces someone to lose their sense of identity. In Lobco Ego was made through understanding and sympathizing with an abnormality.
14:08 the seed of light project didn’t need the energy produced by enkephalin they needed the positive emotions stored in P-E, all the other branches didn’t have to care about how the abnos felt because they only needed any type of enkephalin to produce energy.
15:02 Gabriel was using the excuse about being worried about exposed skin to hide the fact that he was sketching himself as a stress response.
17:13 Ayin comforted Daniel in his last moments as Daniel was about to be killed by either Garion, a claw, or an escaped abno.
Overall very good video, Lobco is very esoteric and it’s hard to blame anyone for getting confused, especially small details like this.
A question to your point for 13:26 (EGO manifestation). If one can only manifest EGO after (half of) the seed of light got released, then how could Kali get her sword to become the legendary fixer? (Or is my information wrong, that this is her EGO (and she was the only one who could manifest it before the seed of light))?
@@merkurin5183 it’s mentioned library of Ruina that Kali’s sword was a prototype and “could only be formed through someone’s death” I think that that implies that when injected with cogito someone went through a process similar to ego corrosion with nothing there and physically became the sword.
Technically Kali was the first known person to develop her own E.G.O. after being given a prototype Mimicry before the lab. Though her own will or by assist of the prototype can be debated.
@@veryyes1607 Kali ego is red mist the armor not the sword though, it happens before the light and smoke war but after carmen become the well
@@hellkuma4615 yes but would she wouldn’t have been able to manifest the armor if she didn’t have the sword? She manifests her ego as a direct response to the sword’s constant whispering. Her armor is also misty and somewhat intangible which to me makes it seem like it doesn’t have enough power(light) to become fully corporeal.
“Oh no the games so hard whaaaa”
X: nah, I’d win
Abel, Abraham and Adam, even Ayin himself when he meets with X, are phisical, because it is said that LobCorp's Heatquarters is, essentially, Ayin's E.G.O. Just like later, the Library became Angela's E.G.O. So yeah, nothing to do with Mirror Tecnology since it wasn't even invented yet.
19:29 Ayin watching a Sseth video on the living room's TV is something that surprisingly just makes sense for his character.
That's exactly why I made that joke! I'm glad we're on the same page about Ayin.
a lobotomy corp video?
WE EATING GOOD TONIGHT BOYS
Absolutely love stumbling into things randomly!!
(My first introduction to Project Moon games was Love Town... I have many regrets.)
OH MAN WHAT A START
Have you been so afraid?
So happy to randomly stumble upon this
I still have Enkephalin left from my birthday. I probably won't Distort...
Also I got the Masquerade PV before this in my recommendation!
Careful or the cult will grab you into the depth of brainrot
Oh god oh no you watched it it's so over. I WARNED YOU AT THE START
@@8bithypocrite oh, I was already a part of the cult. I just randomly came upon this video. My fate was sealed WAYYYYY before I found this
Aw sweet a lore video for a game I’ve never played and barely even heard of, time to watch the whole thing
You're just like me, fr fr
Minor misconception at
19:45 Benjamin would have caved instantly and be a max tier subscriber to Ayin’s patreon
OH YOU'RE SO RIGHT THOUGH
I LOVE THE CITY I LIVE INNN
Fairly sure Lisa and Enoch were from the outskirts, but minor mistake that doesn't matter much.
Edited additions
While abnormalities are there before Ayin, I doubt Kali has had much if any contact before the project, but I might be wrong.
Dante’s nots have said, those aren’t abnos those are just generic monsters. Apparently, all abnos are monsters but not a monsters are abnos
@@ssharkiggo6432the birds and the Black Forest.
@@ssharkiggo6432 fairly sure bit said abnormalities, and even if I misremember, monsters are rare inside the city pre lobotomy as far as I can tell.
@@prim8512 yeah, pretty sure those are monsters found and captured by Ayin, no idea how they produce enkephelin though
@@neroesthepangolinmaster yeah, monsters were rare, bloodfiends weren't even a problem before Blood Red Nights. I don't know if sweepers count, but they're probably the only major monsters
Angela has always heavily reminded me of AM from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
How ironic, the game that was about curing a disease of the mind led to the creation of another (project moon brainrot)
You call it a disease, we call it enlightment
Awesome. I don't think I quite deserve to call myself type 2 viewer but I will still point out smallest mistakes (this is how we get 300 lunacy). English is my second language, so I'm sorry for all mistakes:
Oh, and; SPOILERS FOR ALL PM GAMES
1. 5:08 - I don't recall any instance of an abnormality roaming Backstreets. Funnily enough, I think we have only seen an abnormality in the Nest, K-corp, to be exact and it was still a planned thing. Other than that, only L-corp before and after its fall.
extra. 5:56 - You don't need Fixers for that, just read one of the Sweepers books and you will get a very nice guide just for that situation (this is not a serious nitpick, obviously).
2. 8:14 - Not necessarily. In the Hook office post-battle Roland says that Amendment was only a part of a big "get rid of sapient non-humans" movement. So, not only robots but also something akin to gnomes, for example, was driven out.
3. 8:48 - I wouldn't be so sure. There is no direct confirmation that the disease was a metaphor, for all we know, there is a Well (collective subconscious), and "water" in it could've been "poisoned" (that one is certainly a Binah-certified metaphor). After all, mind in PM games is a very powerful thing, capable of creating gods (khem Will of the City khem), so a literal disease is not impossible in that context.
4. 9:55 - Moreover he is not a researcher at all, he is just a guy who lived (more like existed) in the Nest. He joined the project for the same reason as Ayin - simping. No qualifications whatsoever as far as we know.
5. 12:30 - To be fair, they were still conducting borderline illegal experiments as nobodies. I'm fairly certain K-corp ampules cost shitton of money, since we don't see any LoR enemies using it (even Hana association) or/and require a contract. Also, I think K-corp ampules can only heal still living people, because resurrection is implied to be illegal (Timekilling Time, "The Assistant" says it do Danteh when wondering about nature of their abilities) and Ayin didn't have any on hand (they are in the Outskirts).
6. 13:15 - That's incorrect. Cogito does not turn person into Distortion (aka, their own ego manifested as a monster), but draws from a Well, collective subconscious. (Imagine being so shallow that you straight up turn into Spider Bud, because your only distinct characteristic is fear of spiders). Abnormalities are not someones ego, they're concepts, fairytales, something that many people share, opposite to Distortion or EGO, which is deeply tied to the individual. The only instance of someone summoning ther own EGO before White Nights and Dark Days is Kali, and she only did it after carrying Abnormality EGO (again, different from personal EGO, anyone can carry it with sufficient training, for example) for a long time.
7. 15:30 - You are making Ayin a bit too much of a monster. Giovanni believed that they could save Carmen without external input and A just "didn't want to ruin his last hope" (yeah, much better, I know, but still, it shows that he is not a complete psychopath, and in a messed up way cares about people).
8. 17:10 - Again, a bit too much negativity, A himself states that no one could blame Daniel for his actions.
extra. 27:50 - while this is a valid interpretation, I want to leave my opinion on each A. I view them as different endings (no shit) for Ayin. Abel is the one who could not move forward, because he couldn't find enough strengh to finish the cycle (The Will to Stand up Straight), convinced himself that it's not worth it (Rationality to Maintain Discretion), decided that he doesn't have a right to do it (The Hope to be a Better Person), or just gave up on life overall (The Fearlessness to keep on Living). Abram wants to abandon and destroy the project, because there is no hope for any change (The Expectation for the Meaning of Existence), he already lost so much (The Courage to Protect), and there is no one who gives a shit about all of this and especially A himself (Those who are Faithful and Trustworthy). Adam wants to finish the project in the way Carmen intended (though it isn't clearly stated, it aligns with her motivations in LoR and Limbus Company and we don't know much about her before Lob Corp. I mean, we've only heard about her from Ayin and Sephirah - which is like asking Binah to choose which is better: tea or coffee, expecting her to be unbiased - not the best source), to force people into the "right" way of living and to not allow them to face the world at its worst and change it, hiding them behind shell of an EGO - Distortion (The Eye Facing the Fear; Breaking the Cycle), to make them forget their violent past and make them forever unable to pick their own path (The Eye Embracing the Past; Building the Future).
9. 31:47 - Not exactly, it isn't clear whether B was planned to become a Sephira or it was out of necessity.
Very cool, not sure if I'm completely right, honestly. I haven't reread L-corp story for quite some time, but I hope there are some meaningful things here.
thank you for doing the pm brainrot posting for me lol
If we take the TCTB event into account and the monolith you could interprete that you must make a distortion to make a abno because Kim would of progressed from Distortion to abno if the mono wasn't stoped but the mono could be a different thing but similar idea or a less efficient way to make a abno and lobo could do direct person to abno.
We know they had the incomplete or dregs of abno making (pecatulim) in the the form of the odrdeals Dateh says they have similar/same readings in the green dawn event
Also some of the ordeals do have striking similarities to future events peoples and things
The clowns,the violet ordeals maybie the fixer ordeals if you believe the pale and white are Roland and Angelica
But they also pull from the past/present
The robot uprising of green,the orange pests of G corp,sweepers.
Could the human subconscious be able to see the future in the PMverse or could their be future seeing/time traveling individuals who make the subconscious have slight taint of future events
I ramble and muse
@@Plaugus_Screenz Philipclair story has huge implications too. Carmen says that she has already seen similiar child who might be Philip. That means Light is universal across all mirror worlds. moreover, Carmen and, by extension Ayin, are universal too. This is very huge, though speculative.
I think the best way to describe PM-verse is "Fantasy/Fairytale in the dark modern setting". Sci-fi is a lie. People fight with swords, miracles are performed if you wish upon a star, there are literal gates of Hell and forest with magical creatures and literal Santa Gnomes with present factory. Literally a fairytale ruined by capitalism, it's so captivating.
@@gorn5264 yeah from what we know their is 4-5 known multiverse entity's depending on your interpretation of Dateh
Ayin and Carmen (both in the light where is ayin )
Iori the purple tear
Danteh who can reach through the mirror worlds aided with the mirror tech (some think is ayin)
Demian he is "owner" of the mirror worlds
Their is probably more multiversal beings that we don't know of in the same vein as Bookcliff or like Danteh who can grasp the multiverse but they are unknown ATM
"This is the most innovative world I have ever seen" and it's just modern day Korea /jk
ah yes literally man made horror beyond our comprehension
i think spider bud actually represents parental instinct/caring for others more than anything, not fear of spiders, (it's even bundled together with the other abnos that have multiple mini-abnos that are crucial to the abnos themes like the swan and laetita in the hod realization in ruina!) so the person who got turned into it was likely just a person who was REALLY protective of their loved ones, not georg spiderhater. just a small nitpick!
27:00 Netzach was part of the SAFETY Team
Oh dang, you're so right. I don't know how I messed that up!
@@8bithypocriteOld translations had it as the Security Team so that’s probably why
4:10 wdym Arbiters are not breedable?
also, great job.
also also, Jacob and Vic's link goes to "This page isn't available". wrong link?
also also also, any news about roll2play?
No, the Arbiters are NOT breedable.
Thanks for the heads up!! The links should be fixed now. Roll2Play is in a bit of a limbo right now unfortunately. I have people ready to play, but I'm a bit too busy to actually make a game happen right now. It's pretty much all I can do to work on this channel, so I can't promise when more R2P may happen. Hopefully it will!
(And don't believe that, I was forced to put that in by A Corp, it's head propaganda)
@@zetroll0372 In the Ciry, Arbiter breeds you.
GET PILLARED
Factual errors, but it's still fun to see stuff like this. Second complete and concise LobCo summary video ever.
Oh hey, he gave a shout out to the one other LobCorp summary video.
I have never heard anyone condense everything of Garion so succinctly as in "A power scaling tool". Bra-vo!
Doing a homework waiting for next class
So from what I gather, the sequels could've been averted if Ayin had considered touching base with Angela's mental state too like everyone else's. Instead he just stuck his head in the sand regarding her and assumed nothing bad would happen. She was a massive blindspot in his plans despite being the central pillar for allowing it to work at all.
loved the editing, always fun to watch these kinds of summary videos~~
something tiny correction iirc about the lore, Angela was created during outskirt lab
This is so well explained and edited, awesome stuff
Nice to see a new longform episoid from you!
LETS GO!!! IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS!
18:23 that jjk reference was perfection 😂😂😂😂
Oh, how i waited for a new upload from you
Loved the video 👍
Liked and subscribed
31:15 so sad that you died of Hokma
Well lad I’ll be seeing you in about a year, see ya
Can't wait for Part 2,
We go to The Library,
Either that or we Go through the Monsters, and Side Content that happened.
OoOOoH- oooOoOh- The story of lobotomy corporation...
49:25 - everything was going fine until the machine tries to be human. I've seen this happen once.
Something about Gebura’s meltdown, according to Myo, her body is more durable, but her skills were much weaker. I don’t know if this also applies to Binah.
2:19 I'm going to agree on THAT!
Good video!
I think Z corp is That One Train track that Surrounds the City.
Abnormalities do not roam wild in the backstreets, as they ain’t escaping the branches unless the wing collapses. Abnormalities are indestructible and an unstoppable force so glad they don’t escape on the constant. Normal monsters, although rare, do exist, beings such as the goo crabs and bloodfiends.
I’d actually argue that Kali was stronger than Garion, since Kali had to bring down abnormalities and claws before fighting Garion, but hey, that’s just a theory
Waiting for the library of ruina video now
Garian lookin like umbreon
31:54 Chesed does What
goddammit i hate cliffhangers now i gotta subscribe for the next video!!!!!!!!!
still this is good!
Idek what's going on, but that's a pretty artstyle
Why does every lob corp summary video completely fail to understand ayin and three versions of kether
Ayin watching Sseth was a gag that made me chuckle
Because of this video I buy lobotomy corporation that was on summer sale now I have reset day 10 for 30 times in a row this is your fault, speaking of PLEASE HELP ME THIS DAMN GAME IS TORTULIBFNIANAGDHZ
Hey, where did the 0:00 picture came from? I recently saw it a couple of times, but I don't remember seeing it nor in Lobotomy corp neither in Library of Ruina..
LET'S GOOO LORE BREAKDOWN!!!!🎉🎉
I need you to understand the minute I got to 12:45 or so I paused, backtracked and walked away for 10 minutes HOW DID I END UP HERE
Just finished the video, was peak gg
Same day as RR4 trailer bru
I didn't get the last couple endings and I don't cwre enough to play through it two or three more times.
I loved that it was basically SCP site manager, if it were to exist and would like similar game play content. But maybe with better control of your agents.
i didnt realize that you had to lose 80% of staff to trigger the bad ends and crashed straight into all the bad ends i blame fixer of black(for instantly breaching white knight) and fixer of white(cuz i kept running at her with super strong weapons aka twighlight and lost paradise)
that ending was peak
Praise thy lord AYIN!
Hopelessly addicted time to play limbus company cause I’m too poor
Lob Corp is so awesome, i wish abnormalities was real
I dont have the motivation to play PM games since it seems so daunting so im just gonna watch this to somewhat understand the memes
Based and understandable
Damn..... just.....damn...... Lobotomy Corporation lore is like..... damn.......... so is Ian dead or is he alive or was he mads into a robot? Also fuck Ian, bro succeeded but at what cost? Also what about the Head? I am suprised he didnt investigate the giant ass light.
Ayin dissolved into the light with carmen and the head does not mind the light but they do mind Angela's existence though
thank you
and please make library of ruina
banger video
THE HORDE IS HERE
Arise ye nuggets by the Grace of Light we return once more to the lands of Lobcorp
Thanks @therealESGOO for teaching me tremor and alot about limbus in general and also in case you see this make a beginners guide tier list ID and ego and also can you shout me out in that video thanks in advance
and for beginners with no luck here's a tip that i learned from @therealESGOO Dispense for 3 stars and roll for 2 stars
C: this joke will make sense when i figure out how to schedule my schedule on twitch
45:28 i have been looking for this image with no text and such for so long to make it my wallpaper, WHERE did you get that from?
There's a Google Drive folder someone has all the ripped game assets in. If you look up "Lobotomy Corporation Asset Rip," the first result is a reddit post talking about it. You can open the Drive link from there, and that particular image of the city is located under Lobotomy CorporationCG > CG > LightCG-resources.assets-2300.png
Ayin would have succeeded if only he didn't commit ONE SIN.
but he did 100 good deeds
Eating Good!
WE EATING GOOOOOD
My headcanon Z-Corp is on the moon.
Bro cooked.
im always a bit confused on the story for lobcorp. YIPIEEE
Oh this is an awesome video!! I love the story of these games but Goodness I cannot play lobotomy co
i hate how ayin still decide to keep angela instead of building something else .Her entire exitance bring nothing but suffer to all living being it even more frustrating ,when she start as a main protagonise and i can't fucking kill her due she now hold the light hostage and have to retake the light back before i could convince her to just return to bolt.Even carmen form a elite squad of distortion just to cap her ass and remake the city for the better
but wasn't causing suffering what angela was forced to do for a very very long time and angela was the one who ultimately gave up her goals because at the end of ruina she could finally understand ayin and forgave him like the sephira did and it was only malkuth, yesod, hod, netzach and hokma who tried to convince her in any capacity and the true ending is angela truly becoming human by understanding what the sephira learned after their suppresions this is similarly the case for Roland and if you say otherwise look at the ending where angela actually dies, also and do you think a city that contains only distorted civilians is truly better than the hell they already live in do you think beings like the pianist were capable of good? if you say otherwise you would contradict your last statement
Warp :3
Peak fiction incoming
I will drag in more and more people in
One of us, one of us...
Im seeing more of these vidoes being made for some reason
YOOOOO!
PLEASE do the Library of Ruina 🙏
Question teach: Is Ben like, gay for this Eien fellow? because that amount of blind devotion goes WAY beyond friendship. Bro must of been DOWN BAD frfr.
He started a war for the guy.Sooo maybe.
@@iateashoe1 HE WHAT?!!!
@leecolon5108 the whole L corp take over was ben enacting a whole war. Also ben pretty much see ayin as the next coming of christ
Yeah it he started the smoke war the biggest war in the city since decades, he managed to get several Corporations on his side to destroy the Old L Corp for his mentor -totally not crush-.
Ayin needed to get the old L Corp out of the way do he could make his own and the result was The Smoke War. The details are unclear but Ben helped A make a deal with R Corp and a couple other wings to stage that takedown.
14:22 Real Shit
Mr hypocrite you forgot to assign the homework!!!!!!
Alternative version of 3 wants to learn but pc can’t handle late game bs
Hope you get more views on this! I would love to see a LoR video and i thoroughly enjoyed myself with this video, thank you! :)
Limbussy
Eb cheb neck friddly griddly
daddy please teach me
>:3
👍
My reason to be here:
Found some roblox game based on this and want to know wth is this thing
I have a question.... how do these people breathe if there were no trees
Very carefully
Well there are trees in some of the nest and there is the big forest just outside the city
This gives me am idea for a headcannon, that O Corp has a singularity that produces oxygen for the entire city.
Not as the main purpose of course because no way O Corp would let the peasants in the backstreets have free oxygen, but because oxygen is a byproduct they have to dump into the atmosphere from their main product.
I LOVED THE VIDEO
Finally i can understand the game without having to deal with 16 anomalys at once
now explain why gebura has boob window
Aerodynamics
Oi, youtube bots finally recommended some P.E.A.K. content!
