Dude I was minding my own business, heard whispers of Limbus Company and thought, hmm that sound interesting. Then I took a look and went "OoOOOOO THIS IS SO COOL!!!" Now that I've been eternally shackled to this world I'd like to know what's going on. Starting at the beginning with Lobotomy Corporation.
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
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.
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.
you forgot the part where Ayin says "We did a great job... My Lobotomy Corporation..." and then all the sephirah start performing a choreography to Happy by Pharell Williams
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.
@@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.
Ayin didn't wipe his mind initially. He only did that after looping a few [REDACTED] times, failing, and realizing that he had his own demons to overcome. So he compartmentalized and uploaded his memories into three separate lab-grown bodies, each of which became his regrets, obsessions, and megalomaniacal ego, each warped to varying degrees due to his exposure to Abnormalities for extended periods of time, with Adam taking the Lion's Share.
There’s an underlying horror that I don’t see people talking much about when talking about project Moon. That’s the state of being an abnormality itself. These people who are transformed aren’t just “made into monsters.” These abnormalities are permanent states of mind and emotion brought into form. People with ego are the people with the will to resist being consumed by them, but abnormalities will exist permanently in one form of misery. Recall those moments where you do nothing but beat yourself down when you’re depressed. Only you know the words that will hurt you the most. But then imagine that feeling being all of existence for the rest of forever. You don’t “transform into a monster” that embodies that idea, you ARE that idea. And you will BE those words of misery for eternity.
Abnormalities is pretty much that state of no return, completely mindless, borderline animalistic compared to EGO. The Abnormality is simply existing to project that feeling to others, literally.
I imagine Ayin would love the random niche games Sseth pulls out of his ass, and during the old days Carmen would watch some videos along with him and have no idea what's going on but be happy that he is happy.
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.
If Ayin had comforted Angela: • Pros - Angela gets her own realization, not needing Ruina to do that - The City becomes an unbelievably better place in general - Basically everyone in-story is happy and at peace • Cons - No more games for us (boo-womp)
I believe Ayin was completely aware of what angela was about to do but he just let it be due to him not giving her a choice in the first place. Also LoR is just literally angela's core suppresion.
Library of Ruina implied that he gave her [the permission] to make the last decision as an atonement for his attitude towards her. Although it doesn't change the fact that he did her dirty.
@@vyckygy6626 its actually deeper than that he allowed her to do that despite the hardships they went through to achieve it.10000 years of suffering would go to waste if angela decides it so. I believe Ayin chose to believe in angela to finally break the cycle since he couldn't and thats why he congratulated her in the end of LoR.
@@johnrenwelmauro2387 the first half - yes, but the second... You're probably right, but that's kinda arrogant of him: to cause her such suffering and still believe that she would break the circle 💀
@@NoHandle44 it's not quite that simple. both ayin and angela are very flawed people, but neither heroes nor villains. ayin was willing to do and sacrifice anything for the ultimate goal of everyone's unimaginable benefit. angela just wanted to live and exist in the world she suffered so much for.
@@NoHandle44 Ayin isn't a hero or a villain, he's just a person. An incredibly flawed person whose committed many sins and done great deeds as well. If it were as simple as being a hero or a villain, this would be Disney Corporation 😭
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!
Got to Day 49 and honestly, I've given up and watched this video. 90 hours in Lob Corp and still haven't beaten it, and now I don't have to! Thanks for the summary.
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
There are some possible inspirations, however Angela, surprisingly, is much more soft. AMs biggest gripe was being made ALMOST perfect, basically not being able to feel good emotions, so it just did what it could - torture the only humans left alive. Angela on the other hand has 0 compassion for humans, but clearly is both fond of Sephirahs and not above human connection (see Lolan). Bad LOR ending is basically her becoming closest to AM.
Who knew that relying on artificial intelligence based on a human that you openly hate, that will be forced to see suffering for who know how long while also seeing time a thousand time slower would be a bad idea?
@@anusaukko6792 It's precisely his love of Carmen that made him disgusted at Angela. She was supposed to replace her as a guiding post, holding the metaphorical remnants of her soul and her mind and turned out to be absolutely nothing like her. It is the immeasurable disappointment and grief for Carmen that lead to Ayin's neglect of Angela, a mere sight at her being more than enough to remember all the sins and failures in his path.
@@bonafidemoron Yeah I understand this completely, but I'm still wondering what the OP meant since he explicitly said ''human you openly hated'', since he hated himself the most if we count humans.
@@anusaukko6792 Oh, you're totally right. My bad. I'd assume that depending on pacing you could interpret it either way, the hating sentiment directed towards solely the AI or the human it is based on. The first one is the correct one, and honestly the way I read it the first time, but on a second glance I totally see where you're coming from. Still, the original intent lies within OP's thoughts only so! :P
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.
@@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
Can't wait for more videos on these games (they seem really interesting). Also wanted to say I love how you showcases information, talking about serious stuff while being able to lighten the mood with jokes.
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.
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
When I clicked the video, I expected the lore to be knock off scp and only intended to watch 5 minutes. I was so wrong, it was so interesting that I couldn't stop watching till the end and subscribed to the channel. 🤣
The funniest part about Lobotomy Corporation is that you often hear stuff like ''Oh its like an SCP management game'' then you look at the story and find a literary masterpiece with euphemisms, symbolism, and mythological + irl influence out the ass. Then this continues even further in their 2 sequel games.
Pretty much what the other commenter said. Lobcorp looks like some SCP knockoff but just caring to look deeper into it it's a masterfully crafted piece of universe arguably better than scp lol
Just figured out something, A corp, B corp, C corp; Arbiter, Claws, Beholder; Ayin, Carmen, Benjamin. This A B C pattern was in my face the whole time.
Secret number 5: I don't have the memory space on my phone for the games or a computer and don't wanna try to find a Let's Play that encompasses the full experience.
I haven't played LobCorp since I beat it 2 years ago, and let me tell you, when the first trumpet music started playing in the background of this video, I got fucking flashbacks.
i think its some kind of bitter irony with cheseds meltdown is how even though his meltdown is about how he caused all of his friends to die and feels regret about it, yet despite that his gimmick is literally about harming the employees
I'm here from Milkythesquid. All I know is chaotic ramblings about how good Project Moon games are, the basic premise of Lobco, and to accept your selfish urges to get Cool Armor
I think the biggest thing missing in this video is that its not obvious, at least 30 minutes in, that Ayin has no goals besides completing what he THINKS Carmens goals are because he's obsessed with her
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.
I think this is the first lore video for anything where I’ve genuinely laughed out loud multiple times and explains the story really well, time to go finally get back into Ruina (Knight of Despair has caused a great amount of despair for me)
This is basically like the emperor TTS when I think about it. Not perfect for the lore but presents in an entertaining and intriguing enough that if someone really wanted to they could find the correct info for pm lore.
Not me getting actual chills from these voice performances, I'll be sure to check the next video, plus Im excited to check out the games myself Awesome vid
Question for better understanding: You said Angela had to reset every time a little bit of positive emotion took place. Why was that an important trigger to reset? Wasn't "finding soul and hope" the ultimate goal of Ayin?
very late, but: the point was to make the Sephirah go through unimaginable suffering, THEN grow as people. if something got in the way of that unimaginable suffering she would need to reset. X didn't necessarily need to suffer, it was just inevitable and likely entertaining for Angela.
First time watching your content and not even 2 minutes in I'm hit with some hilarious lines. I've not played a PM game, but a good chunk of my friends do (though they're more occupied with Limbus Company than the other two games.), though I will admit I have been introduced to LobCorp outside of that friend circle via UA-cam recommendations.
My entire life memories just seemed like small glances into the past, so when I see a video about small glances that I can only remember like three times or so and I watch it only for it to be one of the most amazing stories I've heard is about to keep me hooked for a long while.
19:30 Ayin watching the SsethTzeentach Caves of Qud video seems strangle fitting, given how far he is willing to push the limits of humanity in any way possible.
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?
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)
The will to stand up straight, The rationality to maintain discretion, The hope to be a better person, The fearlessness to keep on living, The expectation of the meaning of existence, The courage to protect, Those who are faithful and trustworthy, The eye facing the fear breaking the cycle, The eye embracing the past building the future
My language is Spanish but I just wanted to thank you for the very good work and creativity in bringing the story, sharing it with the newbies who are just getting into this. I met PM for his game Limbus company a week ago and I thought it was interesting to know the story of his other games and I knew that they had a connection between all of them so I said what could go wrong? And as I thought the story is brutal (in a good way), from my heart and never failed in my instinct, that the company will still bring out more stuff for us to enjoy and see how the story continues. I also liked your creativity, I don't know why it reminds me of the old styles of video creation, maybe because of the avatar, the voices, transitions but I liked it. Oh and to add, I see this video from two months ago, if I'm not mistaken I don't think you have a complete history of LR. Literally if u made the second video for the continuation of this one, it would be the two great “pillar” videos for the community to show a friend to get them into the game.
What a great vid, not only in game content but in its exposition. I had only ever heard the name of the game but had no info on it. Thank you for this vid, what a journey! I am thoroughly intrigued for the rest!
hey, i've been wondering if you're planning to release a video on the story of library of ruina and limbus company as well. i can't really find many other good videos on library of ruina, and i really like your editing style, so i'm hoping to see a video on that game as well.
Im going to say would to binah, angels and genbura. Also, thank you for getting me into this wacky rabbit hole of a series. It's got me ready to buy it on xbox.
Regarding the setting, I have an hypothesis: the true goal of Carmen, was to kill The City. The structuring of the city has organizations and people named after body parts - Head, Eye, Fingers, the device that prints out prophecies is deemed as lungs, and so forth. The Disease of the Mind, might be almost literal in nature, staining the occupants with a contagion. It is my speculation that The City is actually a giant abnormality, a creature within which humans are cells. The Light might have been a measure to alter or destroy that entity. This leads into another concept: The City might be using emotion to create abnormalities or to feed. This may be why there are rules against AI and robots, because that might undermine the City. After all, considering that people are on the food menu, it is weird for genuine AI to not be permitted. That is why I think Angela was a key part of LobCorp, since her nature shielded her from being strongly influenced by The City.
I'm the secret 5th option that wants to play lobotomy corporation, but eventually decided against it, however I am still greatly interested in it's story.
dude, amazing video, I just listened to this in my car, and I would love more of this, not necessarily this game, but more of this. the passion , the jokes, the story telling, is just "chef kiss❤"
Great vid. I really wanted to play project moon games but unfortunately for me, I have a major skill issue so I settled on at least knowing the events, and your video was so amazing, very fun. Though, I think I might be late putting this comment out, I just really wanna say that I'm thankful for you for putting this video because others like me who can't play the game can watch this banger
Totally wasn't strapped down to a chair, leglocks and lobotomy pins holders included, and forced to ingest this game at gunpoint while simultaneously getting my head rewired by a close associate. Totally doesn't feel like i just watched a different game summary, because of how different the player experience and the lore experience is.
Down below is a major tip to help you with lobotomy corporation if you wanna play the game yourself. Its the biggest cheese for the hardest boss of the game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those having issues with the arbiter, esp on day 49, there is some cheese you can do to her. You require backwards clock in your facility to do this. Backwards clock when she starts her meltdowns, then summon the rabbits on her right away. The backwards clock will stun her by clearing her meltdowns, and the rabbits can put out enough damage to knock off a phase, sometimes 2. During day 49, they can sometimes completely solo her or get her to the point where you deal with 1 set of lockdowns and bumrush her for game. So her fight only has 1 to 1.5 phases instead of 3 with this method, making her much, much more managable.
I really feel like PM was at least a bit inspired by Dune when making the PMverse. A world which prohibits artificial intelligence and machine thinking due to some cataclysmic effect in the past, a City/Empire built upon a system of silent oppression, multiple Houses/Wings dealing with each other openly and under the table, each of them trying to achieve some level of technological progress while using basically magical substances and tech.

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
This truly was our lobotomy corporation
It is our lobotomy the corporation
From what I'mma guess both lobary and limbus corp are moving at the same time.
Project Moon Overheard, Project Moon Initiate, One Limbillion PM Sleeper Agent has been awakened
Forgot one option: "started at limbus company and got stuck in this rabbithole of a universe"
I started at a video essay of love town!
Dude
I was minding my own business, heard whispers of Limbus Company and thought, hmm that sound interesting. Then I took a look and went "OoOOOOO THIS IS SO COOL!!!"
Now that I've been eternally shackled to this world I'd like to know what's going on. Starting at the beginning with Lobotomy Corporation.
Started at lobotomy corporation went to Nexus awakened then returned.
Actually started with lobotomy corporation myself.
I learn of the lobo corp played library then limbus.
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

@@YaniBroreal(barely audible)
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
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 just read this before actually watching the video and I haven't played it ever, so:
WHAT THE F*CK DOES ANY OF THAT MEAN
@@nosidenoside2458all parts of gameplay are canon
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.

It's all theories,nothing to confirm that if the reflections are physical or not and nothing to debunk that either,it's up for us to guess
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
correction, "42 seconds"
you forgot the part where Ayin says "We did a great job... My Lobotomy Corporation..." and then all the sephirah start performing a choreography to Happy by Pharell Williams
This should've been the ending
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.
Ayin didn't wipe his mind initially. He only did that after looping a few [REDACTED] times, failing, and realizing that he had his own demons to overcome. So he compartmentalized and uploaded his memories into three separate lab-grown bodies, each of which became his regrets, obsessions, and megalomaniacal ego, each warped to varying degrees due to his exposure to Abnormalities for extended periods of time, with Adam taking the Lion's Share.
There’s an underlying horror that I don’t see people talking much about when talking about project Moon. That’s the state of being an abnormality itself. These people who are transformed aren’t just “made into monsters.” These abnormalities are permanent states of mind and emotion brought into form. People with ego are the people with the will to resist being consumed by them, but abnormalities will exist permanently in one form of misery.
Recall those moments where you do nothing but beat yourself down when you’re depressed. Only you know the words that will hurt you the most. But then imagine that feeling being all of existence for the rest of forever. You don’t “transform into a monster” that embodies that idea, you ARE that idea. And you will BE those words of misery for eternity.
Abnormalities is pretty much that state of no return, completely mindless, borderline animalistic compared to EGO. The Abnormality is simply existing to project that feeling to others, literally.
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.
I imagine Ayin would love the random niche games Sseth pulls out of his ass, and during the old days Carmen would watch some videos along with him and have no idea what's going on but be happy that he is happy.
"It's a crimeless crime, Just like punching someone in The dark..."
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.
If Ayin had comforted Angela:
• Pros
- Angela gets her own realization, not needing Ruina to do that
- The City becomes an unbelievably better place in general
- Basically everyone in-story is happy and at peace
• Cons
- No more games for us (boo-womp)
I believe Ayin was completely aware of what angela was about to do but he just let it be due to him not giving her a choice in the first place.
Also LoR is just literally angela's core suppresion.
Library of Ruina implied that he gave her [the permission] to make the last decision as an atonement for his attitude towards her. Although it doesn't change the fact that he did her dirty.
@@vyckygy6626 its actually deeper than that he allowed her to do that despite the hardships they went through to achieve it.10000 years of suffering would go to waste if angela decides it so.
I believe Ayin chose to believe in angela to finally break the cycle since he couldn't and thats why he congratulated her in the end of LoR.
@@johnrenwelmauro2387 the first half - yes, but the second... You're probably right, but that's kinda arrogant of him: to cause her such suffering and still believe that she would break the circle 💀
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!

OH YOU'RE SO RIGHT THOUGH
This is true
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?
This feels like "I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM" with anime characters and Linkin Park AMVs from early UA-cam, 4chan, and YTMND thrown in.
Also UA-cam recommended this to me from another video.
So... all that suffering... for a Minecraft Beacon?
"Absolute worth for that mining speed👌"
- Carmen, probably.
and then goddamn fuckin angela stole it and threw it into the end
@@ErlkingHeathcliff69 I mean. ain caused so much suffering. He didn't deserve to be the hero he only deserved to be the villain.
@@NoHandle44 it's not quite that simple. both ayin and angela are very flawed people, but neither heroes nor villains. ayin was willing to do and sacrifice anything for the ultimate goal of everyone's unimaginable benefit. angela just wanted to live and exist in the world she suffered so much for.
@@NoHandle44 Ayin isn't a hero or a villain, he's just a person. An incredibly flawed person whose committed many sins and done great deeds as well. If it were as simple as being a hero or a villain, this would be Disney Corporation 😭

Jokes on you, i have to take meds to do it
Damn, this 50 minute video explaining the convoluted lore that I didn't understand a lick of about a game I've never heard of sure is great.
1:22 secret 5th option, you are a lore buff that love video game lore and like watching explanation of video game lore
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!
Got to Day 49 and honestly, I've given up and watched this video. 90 hours in Lob Corp and still haven't beaten it, and now I don't have to! Thanks for the summary.
180 hours in and still havent beaten it lol I suck at this game
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
I mean sure Garion is an Arbiter and all, but she's never been called The Strongest like Kali now has she? Checkmate Arbiter fans!
Angela has always heavily reminded me of AM from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
There are some possible inspirations, however Angela, surprisingly, is much more soft. AMs biggest gripe was being made ALMOST perfect, basically not being able to feel good emotions, so it just did what it could - torture the only humans left alive. Angela on the other hand has 0 compassion for humans, but clearly is both fond of Sephirahs and not above human connection (see Lolan). Bad LOR ending is basically her becoming closest to AM.
Who knew that relying on artificial intelligence based on a human that you openly hate, that will be forced to see suffering for who know how long while also seeing time a thousand time slower would be a bad idea?
Do you mean that Ayin hated the parts of Angela that were based on himself, or that he hated Carmen? Since he, you know, didn't.
@@anusaukko6792 It's precisely his love of Carmen that made him disgusted at Angela. She was supposed to replace her as a guiding post, holding the metaphorical remnants of her soul and her mind and turned out to be absolutely nothing like her. It is the immeasurable disappointment and grief for Carmen that lead to Ayin's neglect of Angela, a mere sight at her being more than enough to remember all the sins and failures in his path.
@@bonafidemoron Yeah I understand this completely, but I'm still wondering what the OP meant since he explicitly said ''human you openly hated'', since he hated himself the most if we count humans.
@@anusaukko6792 Oh, you're totally right. My bad. I'd assume that depending on pacing you could interpret it either way, the hating sentiment directed towards solely the AI or the human it is based on. The first one is the correct one, and honestly the way I read it the first time, but on a second glance I totally see where you're coming from. Still, the original intent lies within OP's thoughts only so! :P
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
"This is the most innovative world I have ever seen" and it's just modern day Korea /jk
I LOVE THE CITY I LIVE INNN
i have no idea what lobotomy corporation is but i'm ready to have the weirdest workout of my life
Can't wait for more videos on these games (they seem really interesting). Also wanted to say I love how you showcases information, talking about serious stuff while being able to lighten the mood with jokes.
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
When I clicked the video, I expected the lore to be knock off scp and only intended to watch 5 minutes. I was so wrong, it was so interesting that I couldn't stop watching till the end and subscribed to the channel. 🤣
The funniest part about Lobotomy Corporation is that you often hear stuff like ''Oh its like an SCP management game'' then you look at the story and find a literary masterpiece with euphemisms, symbolism, and mythological + irl influence out the ass. Then this continues even further in their 2 sequel games.
@@anusaukko6792 I loved the train story.
Pretty much what the other commenter said. Lobcorp looks like some SCP knockoff but just caring to look deeper into it it's a masterfully crafted piece of universe arguably better than scp lol
Wow you were not kidding when you said to run I’m now far to invested to just walk away like I never learned any of this 😭😭
Just figured out something, A corp, B corp, C corp; Arbiter, Claws, Beholder; Ayin, Carmen, Benjamin. This A B C pattern was in my face the whole time.
Silly abc shenanigans
a lobotomy corp video?
WE EATING GOOD TONIGHT BOYS
This video is making me so tempted to try the game, but also absolutely terrified of the difficulty. I don't think I have a big enough brain.
Secret number 5: I don't have the memory space on my phone for the games or a computer and don't wanna try to find a Let's Play that encompasses the full experience.
I have never heard anyone condense everything of Garion so succinctly as in "A power scaling tool". Bra-vo!
I haven't played LobCorp since I beat it 2 years ago, and let me tell you, when the first trumpet music started playing in the background of this video, I got fucking flashbacks.
i think its some kind of bitter irony with cheseds meltdown is how even though his meltdown is about how he caused all of his friends to die and feels regret about it, yet despite that his gimmick is literally about harming the employees
I'm here from Milkythesquid. All I know is chaotic ramblings about how good Project Moon games are, the basic premise of Lobco, and to accept your selfish urges to get Cool Armor
oh sweet lore about a game i dont know much about from a youtuber i havent seen before
That’s one foreboding warning
I hope ignoring it has no ramifications
I think the biggest thing missing in this video is that its not obvious, at least 30 minutes in, that Ayin has no goals besides completing what he THINKS Carmens goals are because he's obsessed with her
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.
I means it certainly make sense. A robotic body is sure to give you extra armor at the cost of reduced movement.
I think this is the first lore video for anything where I’ve genuinely laughed out loud multiple times and explains the story really well, time to go finally get back into Ruina (Knight of Despair has caused a great amount of despair for me)
I am here because i recognised the Lcorp logo in limbus company, with no idea they were in the same universe
This is basically like the emperor TTS when I think about it. Not perfect for the lore but presents in an entertaining and intriguing enough that if someone really wanted to they could find the correct info for pm lore.
ah yes literally man made horror beyond our comprehension
18:23 that jjk reference was perfection 😂😂😂😂
Not me getting actual chills from these voice performances, I'll be sure to check the next video, plus Im excited to check out the games myself
Awesome vid
Wouldn’t be the first time I lost my mind playing a game or learning about a series
Question for better understanding: You said Angela had to reset every time a little bit of positive emotion took place. Why was that an important trigger to reset? Wasn't "finding soul and hope" the ultimate goal of Ayin?
very late, but:
the point was to make the Sephirah go through unimaginable suffering, THEN grow as people. if something got in the way of that unimaginable suffering she would need to reset. X didn't necessarily need to suffer, it was just inevitable and likely entertaining for Angela.
@@veem404 Thanks!
First time watching your content and not even 2 minutes in I'm hit with some hilarious lines. I've not played a PM game, but a good chunk of my friends do (though they're more occupied with Limbus Company than the other two games.), though I will admit I have been introduced to LobCorp outside of that friend circle via UA-cam recommendations.
Im actually here for reason number 4. I think I saw Scott Falco play this randomly one day and just clicked off thinking it was boring.
My entire life memories just seemed like small glances into the past, so when I see a video about small glances that I can only remember like three times or so and I watch it only for it to be one of the most amazing stories I've heard is about to keep me hooked for a long while.
One of the best lob corp summary I've saw
19:30 Ayin watching the SsethTzeentach Caves of Qud video seems strangle fitting, given how far he is willing to push the limits of humanity in any way possible.
Thank you man. As a person who get into Project Moon just a month ago, this really help. Look forward to your Library of Ruina video.
That intro was very 'first day of class' and then just snapped to 'abandon hope all who enter'.

Thanks for the heads up!! The links should be fixed now. Roll2Play is in a bit of a limbo right now unfortunately.

Another lob corp lore video...time to keep rewatching this for hours
Well lad I’ll be seeing you in about a year, see ya
Incredibly well put together video. Super fun look through the lore and story. Defs helps my understanding of the series
ah I just sumbled upon this in my recommended, it surely couldn't be that bad.
oh dear god what have I done to myself
1:52 I have only watched 2 minutes but my expectations have been set high also I am in the fourth category
I watched a complete retelling of this and it was shorten and it was still 4 hour this is insane
My language is Spanish but I just wanted to thank you for the very good work and creativity in bringing the story, sharing it with the newbies who are just getting into this. I met PM for his game Limbus company a week ago and I thought it was interesting to know the story of his other games and I knew that they had a connection between all of them so I said what could go wrong? And as I thought the story is brutal (in a good way), from my heart and never failed in my instinct, that the company will still bring out more stuff for us to enjoy and see how the story continues.
I also liked your creativity, I don't know why it reminds me of the old styles of video creation, maybe because of the avatar, the voices, transitions but I liked it.
Oh and to add, I see this video from two months ago, if I'm not mistaken I don't think you have a complete history of LR. Literally if u made the second video for the continuation of this one, it would be the two great “pillar” videos for the community to show a friend to get them into the game.
hidden evil option: got sucked in by item asylum
50:03 you cant leave us hanging like this, hope this series is still in the works!
idk if this was sarcastic but yes, its still in the works
What a great vid, not only in game content but in its exposition. I had only ever heard the name of the game but had no info on it. Thank you for this vid, what a journey! I am thoroughly intrigued for the rest!
I have no idea what this game is but after this one hour lore lesson, you were completely right at the beginning. I want to know more
You have got me hooked onto this dark dark universe and then again I enjoy Warhammer 40k so I’m not one to talk
hey, i've been wondering if you're planning to release a video on the story of library of ruina and limbus company as well. i can't really find many other good videos on library of ruina, and i really like your editing style, so i'm hoping to see a video on that game as well.
In the outskirts i can Imagine the Bracken from Lethal company and Nothing There just casually playing chess together.
Im going to say would to binah, angels and genbura.
Also, thank you for getting me into this wacky rabbit hole of a series. It's got me ready to buy it on xbox.
I can't understand how is this guy so underrated only 8K is just absurd for the amount of quality he put in
Paused at 46:20 and started laughing. A good old belly laugh. Unpause the video and Angela says, "But aren't you forgetting someone?" lol
Regarding the setting, I have an hypothesis: the true goal of Carmen, was to kill The City. The structuring of the city has organizations and people named after body parts - Head, Eye, Fingers, the device that prints out prophecies is deemed as lungs, and so forth. The Disease of the Mind, might be almost literal in nature, staining the occupants with a contagion. It is my speculation that The City is actually a giant abnormality, a creature within which humans are cells. The Light might have been a measure to alter or destroy that entity.
This leads into another concept: The City might be using emotion to create abnormalities or to feed. This may be why there are rules against AI and robots, because that might undermine the City. After all, considering that people are on the food menu, it is weird for genuine AI to not be permitted. That is why I think Angela was a key part of LobCorp, since her nature shielded her from being strongly influenced by The City.
Very cool theory!
I’m not gonna get sucked in because I’m already in a rabbit hole.

dude, amazing video, I just listened to this in my car, and I would love more of this, not necessarily this game, but more of this. the passion , the jokes, the story telling, is just "chef kiss❤"
Waiting for the library of ruina video now
Great vid. I really wanted to play project moon games but unfortunately for me, I have a major skill issue so I settled on at least knowing the events, and your video was so amazing, very fun.
Though, I think I might be late putting this comment out, I just really wanna say that I'm thankful for you for putting this video because others like me who can't play the game can watch this banger
my partner is obsessed with this game and thus i want to understand the lore a bit..while still multitasking. so ty for this video :D
Totally wasn't strapped down to a chair, leglocks and lobotomy pins holders included, and forced to ingest this game at gunpoint while simultaneously getting my head rewired by a close associate.
Totally doesn't feel like i just watched a different game summary, because of how different the player experience and the lore experience is.
Down below is a major tip to help you with lobotomy corporation if you wanna play the game yourself. Its the biggest cheese for the hardest boss of the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those having issues with the arbiter, esp on day 49, there is some cheese you can do to her.
You require backwards clock in your facility to do this.
Backwards clock when she starts her meltdowns, then summon the rabbits on her right away. The backwards clock will stun her by clearing her meltdowns, and the rabbits can put out enough damage to knock off a phase, sometimes 2. During day 49, they can sometimes completely solo her or get her to the point where you deal with 1 set of lockdowns and bumrush her for game.
So her fight only has 1 to 1.5 phases instead of 3 with this method, making her much, much more managable.
Very well made video, it was a joy to witness. Thanks for making this :)
1:14 I fall here. Randomly found. And you know what? I’ll heed your warning. Goodbye!
5. You are here to have an audio book-ish thing while doing something entirely different like grinding in an RPG
I really feel like PM was at least a bit inspired by Dune when making the PMverse. A world which prohibits artificial intelligence and machine thinking due to some cataclysmic effect in the past, a City/Empire built upon a system of silent oppression, multiple Houses/Wings dealing with each other openly and under the table, each of them trying to achieve some level of technological progress while using basically magical substances and tech.
