Introduction

Hello everyone. I'm TeeQueue, and this is my first Let's Play. Let's get to it.



Lobotomy Corporation is an indie strategy horror game produced by South Korean developers Project Moon, and was released to Steam on April 9, 2018. The player is the administrator of an underground power company that harvests energy from strange beings known as "abnormalities" (think SCPs and you've got it), and is tasked with overseeing this process. It's an interesting and unique game with a lot of really cool worldbuilding. Unfortunately its English translation was...



Fast forward two years, and Project Moon's working diligently on their second game. They went with a new translation group for the sequel, and as a side project they decided to also retranslate the entire first game. They recently opened up their retranslation patch for testing, and that is the version of the game that we'll be playing through. As this is a work-in-progress patch things might change a bit before the final release, but I'll try and keep everything as up-to-date as possible.

The game does have other issues-primarily a memory leak that can cause some computers to be unable to play certain days or events-but all in all it's a very good game, and I'm excited to see it with a better translation job.

A lot of Lobotomy Corporation's appeal comes from having to deal with completely unknown threats that may instantly ruin your facility's day, so if you're interested in giving it a try yourself I strongly recommend playing through at least some of the game blind before reading this thread. For the interested, the new translators have a document with instructions on installing the patch right over here.

EDIT: As of 5/4/2020, the retranslation has been officially patched into the game.

Spoiler Policy
No spoilers, even in spoiler tags. This game has a few twists and turns that are best experienced blind, and I'd like to keep the abnormalities a secret until we get them. There is a megathread if you'd like to discuss anything that hasn't come up in the game so far. That said,

Blanket Content Warning
As this is a horror game, there is a fair amount of unsettling content. The gameplay itself is cartoony enough to not be a problem, but there IS a fair amount of gore, suicide, body horror, drug abuse, and other such things that might unsettle some viewers.

So what's the plan?
I'm going to be splitting things between story updates and gameplay updates. This game gets very , and this is the best way to show everything it has to offer without risking hitting the post limit once we get to a few of the lengthier days.

I'll be playing through the game in a single loop to get all of the story content, then after we've beaten the game I'll go back and hit anything else we've missed. Also: for the sake of the LP I will be using mods.

Mods?
Yep! I'll tell you about them as they come up, but for now the only one we're going to be using is a mod that allows me to customize my agents' appearance for free. That way, you guys can submit employees to send to their horrible deaths at the hands of the abnormalities!

Dying horribly? Sounds great! Where do I sign up?
Right over here, friend. If you want to submit multiple employees, that's a-ok too. I'll do my best to make sure that anyone who wants an agent can have one. You should also check here to get an idea as to what you can do with the character creator, if you're blind to the series.

What if I want to give you money?
I've set up a ko-fi link here. Don't feel like you have to-I'm fine, but tips are always appreciated.

One more thing...
