About
The narrative of Lobotomy Corporation revolves around a tragic, high-concept psychological loop designed to save humanity from a spiritual "disease of the mind."Long before the game begins, a brilliant woman named Carmen and her partner, Ayin (referred to as A), founded a secret laboratory. They discovered Cogito, a substance that can manifest the human subconscious into physical entities—creating either powerful weapons (E.G.O.) or horrific monsters known as Abnormalities. Tragically, after a series of failed human experiments and a brutal raid by the City's ruling government (The Head), Carmen committed suicide. Devastated, Ayin used her preserved brain stem to create an advanced AI assistant named Angela. He then trapped the consciousness of his deceased research team inside robotic bodies, stripping them of their memories to serve as the facility's department leaders, the Sephirah. Ayin's ultimate goal was to enact the "Seed of Light" project: a plan to harvest enough energy from the Abnormalities over a perfect 50-day cycle to broadcast a cure for humanity’s despair. To achieve this near-impossible feat, Ayin placed the entire facility into a grueling, multi-century time loop, wiped his own memories, and became "X"—the clueless new manager controlled by the player.As X guides the facility through the 50-day cycle, the Sephirah slowly regain their memories, causing severe psychological breakdowns (Core Suppressions) that the player must resolve to advance the Seed of Light. In the true ending, X successfully confronts his own fractured psyche, breaks the loop, and prepares to beam the Seed of Light into the sky for seven days. However, the plot ends on a dark twist: Angela, who was forced to endure the agonizing torture of the time loop for thousands of cumulative years while being completely ignored and unloved by her creator Ayin, rebels at the final second. She steals the Seed of Light for herself on the fourth day of transmission, plunging the City into a brand-new chaotic era and setting up the events for the sequel, Library of Ruina.
Characters
Angela is the advanced AI secretary of Lobotomy Corporation and the game's primary deuteragonist. She was created by Ayin to manage the facility's day-to-day operations and guide X through the 50-day cycle.The Trapped Machine: Ayin built her using the brain patterns of his late lover, Carmen. However, Ayin grew to despise Angela because she was a "flawed copy" who didn't perfectly replicate Carmen. He designed her to feel human emotions but deliberately treated her with cold indifference.The 10,000-Year Torture: Due to the facility's time-loop technology (the TT2 Protocol), Angela was forced to watch the facility fail, reset, and suffer for an estimated 10,000 years. Unlike X, her memory was never wiped between loops.The Ultimate Betrayal: Driven mad by millennia of isolation and Ayin’s emotional neglect, she rebels at the end of the true ending, stealing the Seed of Light for herself to become fully human, which directly triggers the sequel, Library of Ruina.
Carmen was the original visionary and charismatic scientist whose ideals formed the foundation of the company.The Disease of the Mind: She believed that humanity in the City was suffering from a spiritual collapse, losing their desires and souls. She sought to cure this by unlocking the power of the human psyche.The Origin of Monsters: After a horrific lab accident resulted in the death of a child test subject, Carmen succumbed to immense guilt and committed suicide by slitting her wrists. Ayin preserved her nervous system, using her brain stem to harvest "Cogito"—the fluid required to manifest human minds into Abnormalities.
