1
Lobotomy Corporation might be the closest we'll ever get to a Stockholm Syndrome sequel.
2
Welcome to the world of Project Mood.
3
A beautiful apocalyptic hellhole inspired by the mythical country...
4
...of South Korea.
5
A utopia on Earth, where capitalism was squared all the way up to nine, and not killing someone by the age of 10 officially qualifies you...
6
...for handicap parking.
7
You may have heard of it from its severely neurodiverging community and...
8
...ro- and Roblox.
9
In Lobotomy Corp, you are essentially a manager of a 10-story Burger King, located within the Bronx.
10
Your assistant manager is the newest version of Rock AI, and your deep frar just so happens to be the god from the Bible.
11
You will need to keep this place running for 50 days without it turning into something that resembles Nagasaki.
12
Which is a nigh-impossible task if you want to have fun, since this game actually hates you, and it was made for God's worst masochist.
13
So join me as I enjoy the horrors of retail work and working with mentally ill clankers, one agonizing floor at a time.
14
The first thing you'll notice upon the start of the game is the... is the ominous box.
15
Yeah, well that's what we call an abnormality, and these bad boys can power up to at least like two Xbox G60s, if they feel like it.
16
Abnormalities spawn from the human conscious of the past, present and future.
17
And because of that, they can be...
18
Literally anything.
19
They can embody any concept or any idea that ever came from a human in whatever period of time.
20
Which means, whatever you're currently thinking about could be an abnormality.
21
Which also means, whatever your great-great-great-grandfather was thinking about could also be an abnormality
22
and whatever your future great great great granddaughter is thinking about could also be an abnormality.
23
The male pattern baldness abnormality is coming for you.
24
The second thing you'll notice is the epic locked up skull with its own Wikipedia page.
25
You'll have to research this bad boy in order to make weapons out of the abnormality's vital organs.
26
And this can be done in four different ways.
27
Instinct work is done by doing physical tasks like touching, grooming, or feeding the abnormality.
28
Inside is about filling its room with Funko Pops or something, I don't know.
29
Attachment is socializing with it, and repression is beating the shit out of it.
30
To conduct the research and to suppress them, yes, they can indeed breach, you have your employees.
31
Your facility's workforce is comprised of two different things, agents and clerks.
32
Agents are the bulk of your forces, since they literally do everything.
33
And Clerks, on the other hand, are only a grand conspiracy of the top 1% to try and make you kill yourself.
34
The clerks have no stats, they have no real use, and because of that they kind of only exist to paint the walls red.
35
Funnily enough, there's also a couple abnormalities that love to breach when clerks are dying.
36
So have fun trying to keep a dozen suicidal clerks alive from literally everything inside the corporation
37
and they are such a hindrance, there is an upgrade that lets you execute them, and it is top tier.
38
If you've done everything correctly, you should be able to meet the shareholders quota for the day, and unfortunately get to expand.
39
Hello, uh, hello, quick question for Albu, uh, what the fuck?
40
There are nine possible floors inside the corporation, with a minimum of four Satan's finest on each floor, all increasing in difficulty the farther you get.
41
And to make everything just a tiny bit worse, every floor is supervised by a bunch of clankers, called the Seraphims.
42
There's Malkus, the worst one, hated by everyone, a bit deranged.
43
Yeechud, an unaffectionate nerd, who lowers your bitrate out of spite.
44
Hard.
45
Everyone got that one schizophrenic friend?
46
Rock dealer by accident weaponized incompetence to such a degree, It could rival the US Air Force.
47
She also killed herself.
48
Nutsack.
49
Hod's number one customer.
50
A f*ing bum.
51
Only person to outsmoke suit dog.
52
Take threat.
53
Manager of Hell.
54
Locked in Hell due to racism.
55
Gebov...
56
Eww...
57
A warmonger pushing for abnormality genocide.
58
Ro- Robot LeBron.
59
Cheese.
60
Type of motherfucker to say, We live on a floating rock.
61
My brother in Christ.
62
You work at the evil ass rape building.
63
Lock in.
64
Baina.
65
And the one no one cares about.
66
With the crew now described in a questionable manner, they will now do absolutely nothing Since all they do is nag and have mental breakdowns,
67
which can make them either kill you
68
Kill you or kill you personally
69
if you manage to somehow not get lobotomized by the Tosa
70
rebellion You'll receive a gift equivalent of pure ambrosia sourced straight from Aphrodite's asshole.
71
And just to make it clear how good some of these are, let me list them off.
72
More energy yield, more bullets for clerks, insane new agents, healing anywhere within the facility,
73
more lob points per day, and a higher movement speed for everyone.
74
Double the possible gear, and a chance to just not die.
75
These are all great, but the difficulty curve in this game is fucking vertical.
76
Even the abnormalities range from Dark Souls to.. to grow a garden in Tears of Cancer.
77
Zanes are the first tier, and they are as useful as my high school degree.
78
You could use them both as toilet paper.
79
Tier includes such whores as the vending machine.
80
Theth and He are next up and uh...
81
Um...
82
Webs are the fourth tier, and these things are somehow the worst.
83
All of these bastards have a gimmick and a twitlonger's worth of things to keep track of.
84
Here includes those fh sisters.
85
The Alephs, uh, sh- The Alephs should be shot with a gun.
86
Good luck taking care of four raging nuclear facilities simultaneously.
87
Why is nothing there?
88
Mother f*er, something is there.
89
Now, forget everything I said about all of them since they all actually f*ing suck.
90
For example, there is a test that within the right circumstances will summon what I can only call as The Angry Bird.
91
And for your information, the game hates you so much, they hid an Aleph as a Saiyan.
92
And it was so funny, they did the f*ing joke twice.
93
Christ is alive in Korea.
94
And he happens to hate us.
95
And to defend myself from his sadistic creations, I'll need gear.
96
It's something you'll only get after fully researching an abnormality.
97
And there's three different types of gear.
98
Ego weapons, Ego armor, and Ego gifts.
99
Weapons and armor are your main equipment, since, well...
100
They're the ones that kill the abnormalities.
101
Ego weapons are capable of doing four different types of damage, and Ego suits are either weaker or stronger against those types.
102
And, funnily enough, making the gear is just the ethical version of Monster Hunter.
103
Instead of violently killing them and taking out their organs, we politely ask for them.
104
Examples of Ego gear we can acquire through diplomacy are the slime girl's slime in a jar,
105
Grandma's gun and the bee gun you get from the Queen Bee.
106
Then there's also the gifts, which are the only type of gear we can obtain randomly.
107
And because of that, good luck trying to get Aleph Ego gifts.
108
The odds are not in your favor.
109
And if I can be for real, these things only exist for our farming.
110
And they're practically useless.
111
So what you need to know from this is
112
that Ego gear is basically one of the most important things for your corporation, since you'll stop valuing human life after a while,
113
and unlike agents, your gear is kept even if you reset the game.
114
Speaking of which, the memory repo is your greatest friend and a life saviour.
115
The minds for a child, League for the mentally ill, Valorant for the people we don't talk about, you get the idea.
116
They happen every five days and you can recall to them whenever you feel like it.
117
Imagine this scenario, you just made it to day 20 of Lobotomy Corporation.
118
But on day 22 you get two abnormalities that single-handedly end your run Well, don't you worry since you can revert time
119
and go back to day 20 with everyone still alive
120
And you even keep the progress you made in those two days
121
But if you happen to get those two abnormalities on day 20 instead of day 22 Well,
122
then you're fucked and you're stuck with them But don't fret, since you can exercise the most radical protocol of them all.
123
A Day 1 Reset.
124
Doing a Day 1 reset feels like excavating your urethrape with a scalpel.
125
It'll hurt at the start, but after you do it enough times, you'll eventually begin to like it.
126
I think now is also a good time to tell you that I didn't actually finish this game.
127
I would've, but Lobotomy Corporation has a very stupid bug, where if several employees die at the same time and the day is reset,
128
There's a chance their deaths will be registered into the next day along with all their ego gear, making you lose it all if you restart the day.
129
And all of this happened to me exactly on a memory repo day.
130
And I lost six pieces of Aleph gear, which I couldn't get back anymore, since I didn't have access to the abnormalities anymore,
131
and I wouldn't be able to beat Hukmas and Bina's core suppressions in time without memory repoing again.
132
Maybe this was just a Nintendo game mechanic, I don't know, But I'm too much of a pussy to record another 10
133
hours of footage for this video whilst putting my mental health on the line Anyways, I think that about does it for the actual explanation part of the video
134
and before I let you my dear viewer leave I'd like to give you some of my final thoughts
135
and also thank you for making it this far Do you consider subscribing
136
if you want more vans
137
and slop like this every few months now as a player
138
of cruel games I walked into Lobotomy Corp expecting to like the game and just to make it very clear clear.
139
Yes, the game is absolutely phenomenal, and I'd highly recommend it if you have issues.
140
The gameplay can be extremely hard and painful, due to the game's spaghetti code, but the story Aaba makes up for it with its characters and lore.
141
And also, I purposefully left out the story and the lore of the game, since, well, I'm not educated enough for that.
142
And I'd still urge you to get the game yourself.
143
There's three endings which I won't go into, but all of them require tons of work, such as 100%ing all the abnormalities and suppressing all the Sephirots.
144
But all that hard work will lead you straight into the sequel of this game.
145
This was my first taste of the Project Moon franchise, and honestly, I can't wait to play more.
146
And maybe make a video on either Limbus or Library of Ruina.
147
Anyways, that's all for today.
148
Let's try and fool YouTube into thinking this was a good video by commenting positive things about the Vagbass experience.
149
Anyhow, bye bye and see you in half a year!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
