There are a lot of difficult games out there if you want a challenge, they tend to get tons of love and praise. There are games that have a hard mode that is either fleshed out or just a boring numbers increase. Idk how to end this intro, this game is beyond bullshit and is designed to be insanely bullshit.
Lobotomy Corp is, simply put, an SCP management sim where you run an SCP facility and try to keep everyone (as many people) alive each day. If you ever thought that it would be hell to actually manage an SCP facility, you would be right! This game is miserable to play, but it had a grip on me that most games have never done. I wanted to beat it, I didn't want to give up, even though there were times I wanted to just drop it.
The game expects you to get walled, unless you have a guide or something, you WILL get walled at some point unable to progress. The solution? Restart to day 1 and try again. It's not as brutal as it sounds as you keep all your gear and info obtained on Abnormalities, the main cost is your time, which this game does not value. My first wall where I had to day 1 were days 20-25, and I had to just swallow my pride and try again.
Now there's a lot of other walls in this game, and depending on how you played they'll either make you drop the game or be non-issues, everyone's experience with this game is unique, that being said after that one day 1 I didn't get walled again all the way till Binah suppression. I had one employee that got insanely lucky with ego gift drops and they became a literal supersoldier, I had them solo the Gebura suppression they were a GOD (it was Natsuki from DDLC).
Binah walled me for a bit, but it didn't come close to day 49, effectively the final boss. Day 49 almost made me drop the entire fucking game alone. It is pure misery, every other suppression in this game is bullshit in some way, but even the worst ones you can find fun in how bullshit they are. Day 49 however is just genuine torture which will suck out every single bit of joy from your body, it took me 4 days to beat it, and when I did I cried, cried that it was over but also because I actually beat something that felt impossible.
I can't recommend this game but that doesn't mean it's bad, it's just such a uniquely bullshit game that it feels like a mean joke to recommend it to anyone that doesn't know what it's about. If you enjoy bullshit games then absolutely try this out it's such a fun and unique game. I didn't talk much about the story because to be honest a lot of it flew over my head, but I know this series and this game has so much world building and lore that a lot of people love so if you're into that then that's just another reason to check this out.
The Claw is the biggest fraud ever IDC how strong he is in lore I had to spread out employees specifically to keep HIM alive because he'd eventually die from chip damage.
