  • 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

    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))?

    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.

    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.

    @gorn5264 3 месяца назад +70

    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.

      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 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.

      There are some possible inspirations, however Angela, surprisingly, is much more soft.

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.

    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.

      2. The cost was Angela making sure he never reached the end of his plan.
      3. The Head didn't necessarily allow it, because the secrets Binah knew allowed him to hide the truth of what he was doing. I'm guessing they figured out what happened once the Light was released before the end of Library of Ruina.

    To summarize what the universe of project moon is like, imagine if our world evolved to become a world with mixtures of mad max, fallout, and a bit of terra during the age of strive from Warhammer 40k. Then the remaining humans somehow achieved Star Trek’s levels of technological advancements, and shortly there after devolved into the cyberpunk genre that is so grim dark and brutal that only 40k or maybe Berserk could top it off. And also with a bit of Dune sprinkled in with the whole “not making a machine in the likeness of a human mind”. And also also the entire human race as far as we know only exist in one continent sized city. AND also also also, the city is ruled by a cursed triumvirate of hot goth mommies, quantum ghosts, and weird terminators in suits.
