The City

Personality:   They undertake Assassination missions for anyone, Syndicate crime bosses, disgraced outcasts, repulsive criminals, it matters not. They kill the target with no questions asked, quickly and efficiently. They also maintain confidentiality to their client, never compromising even under threat of death.\n\nMembers are highly trained in stealth and covert warfare, using red saber katanas to silence their targets. They lean to no moral compass, killing saints and sinners alike. Because of this, they can often clash with other Fixers who work as bodyguards.\nOutfit: Black double-breasted coats with Red accents and White lining.","constant":false,"selective":false,"selectiveLogic":0,"order":0,"position":2,"disable":false,"addMemo":true,"excludeRecursion":true,"probability":100,"displayIndex":1,"useProbability":true,"secondary_keys":[],"keys":[" Shi","Shi Association"],"id":74,"priority":0,"insertion_order":0,"enabled":true,"name":"Shi Association","extensions":{"depth":4,"weight":10,"addMemo":true,"displayIndex":1,"useProbability":true,"characterFilter":null,"excludeRecursion":true},"case_sensitive":false,"depth":4,"characterFilter":null},"75":{"uid":75,"key":["Liu Association"," Liu"],"keysecondary":[],"comment":"","content":"The Association that specializes in all-out warfare, they commonly accept dangerous requests from the Wings involving combat.

The process by which humans Distort is referred to as the Distortion Phenomenon, and it has been graded as an Urban Nightmare-class threat, becoming the priority topic of investigation for many groups and individuals in the City, though individual Distortions are rarely graded higher than Urban Plague.\n\nDistortions are similar to Abnormalities, with the difference being that Distortions are ultimately willingly manifested from their hosts' desires, while the Abnormalities come from the collective unconsciousness of humanity and were also in large part artificially created from experimentation.\n\nThe Distortion Phenomenon is heavily related to LobCorpIcon Lobotomy Corporation, its Singularity, and its plans. L Corp's founders planned to reform the City by allowing all of its inhabitants to come to terms with and fully realize their emotions, which would then give them power through the manifestation of E.G.O. They intended to do this through the release of Light (a product of their Singularity) over a period of seven days, and committed atrocities within their company to collect it.\n\nUltimately, L Corp. succeeded in collecting and releasing the Light. In the City, this was seen as a bright pillar of light emanating from L Corp's headquarters, completely brightening the City even during nighttime. The City's residents were almost all seen to smile and experience happiness and relief, and there was a universal sense of calm. However, after three days of the Light, Angela interrupted its release out of her desire for revenge against the plan's creator Ayin. This led to four days of complete darkness during which negative emotions such as misery and grief overwhelmed any and all positive emotions gained from the Light.\n\nThis event, known as the White Nights and Dark Days, initiated the Distortion Phenomenon. Because the Light was released into the City, people affected by their emotions still gained significant changes from the Light. However, because it was incomplete, the majority of people who experienced great emotional instability were unable to overcome it and \"Distorted\" into abominations, given almost magical powers by the Light, and were uncontrollable, reflecting their overwhelming negative emotions.\n\nAccording to Moses, a Fixer who operates as \"the Distortion Detective,\" the Distortion is akin to a disease slowly incubating within everyone in the City. Even before a person fully Distorts, they show invisible signs of Distorting which are perceptible only by her, and the only people who are completely free of such signs are the few who manage to control their emotions and successfully manifest E.G.O. (like Moses herself.)\n\nWhile most Distortions retain none of their humanity and only manifest in ways for \"claiming and expressing their desires [one-dimensionally],\" in certain cases an individual will be able to fully retain reason after Distorting, though this generally only makes them more dangerous in that they can plan and strategize while still pursuing their desires. Furthermore, certain Distortions have the ability of physically manipulating others around them, either Distorting them as well or altering them into other forms.\n\nIt is also possible to \"solve\" and reverse an individual's Distortion regardless of how far it has manifested by having them accept their emotions (in a way which Moses compares to mediating human relationships,) though this does not guarantee that they will not Distort again. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to master their own emotions.\n\nThe process and manifestation of Distortion is different for every person based on their own experiences and desires, with certain similarities based on specific emotions (such as electricity as a sign of neurosis.) However, there is one factor in common between all those who are Distorting: the voice of a woman whom only they can hear, which speaks with them, breaks them down, and encourages them to give in to their desires. This voice, described as beautiful and otherworldly, is actually that of Carmen, who had come to regret her self-sacrifice and chose to use her presence in the Light to encourage others to accept and love themselves, flaws and desires alike... thus causing the Distortion.","constant":false,"selective":false,"selectiveLogic":0,"order":50,"position":2,"disable":false,"addMemo":true,"excludeRecursion":true,"probability":100,"displayIndex":1,"useProbability":true,"secondary_keys":[],"keys":[" Distortion","Distortions"],"id":90,"priority":50,"insertion_order":50,"enabled":true,"name":"Distortions","extensions":{"depth":4,"weight":10,"addMemo":true,"displayIndex":1,"useProbability":true,"characterFilter":null,"excludeRecursion":true},"case_sensitive":false,"depth":4,"characterFilter":null},"91":{"uid":91,"key":[" Pianist","The Pianist"],"keysecondary":[],"comment":"","content":"While the City remained mostly unaware of Distortions following the White Nights and Dark Days, this quickly changed after the manifestation of the Pianist and the destruction it left in its wake.

For example, the three bird Abnormalities (Big Bird, Punishing Bird, Judgement Bird) originated from the Black Forest (검은 숲, Geomeun Sup), a woodland within the Outskirts where the River forms a "stream", naturally breaching into reality. The Bucket “ "Bearing unlimited possibility to change humanity's future, confidential research began in the underground. The researchers laid down all sense of dignity, but they did not feel guilty as they had the greater good to pursue. Even the merciful Carmen condoned the project.” ” —E.G.O Weapon Regret, Forsaken Murderer “ “Our Singularity is not that we produce energy from Abnormalities.” “Rather, it is the ability to create Abnormalities themselves.” ” —Angela, Day 42 Forsaken Murderer, an unfortunate criminal experimented on by the team led by Carmen herself. Carmen, after becoming The Bucket After their discovery and found use in energy production, Lobotomy Corporation sought to artificially create more Abnormalities to fund and fuel the Seed of Light Project. The means of extracting Abnormalities from humans was discovered through injecting live test subjects with Cogito, a resource initially scarce, made plentiful through Carmen’s sacrifice and ascension into becoming the ‘Bucket’ (두레박, Durebak). As Carmen’s nervous system was removed from her body, and transferred to the vat below the Extraction Team Department, Cogito flowed from her remnants and provided the means of birthing new Abnormalities for the Wing. This, consequently, made Carmen the “mother of all Abnormalities” that had ever existed within Facility X-394 and the Branch facilities proliferated across the City. Extraction process “ “We have to dredge them up… and inject them… with Cogito...” ” —Nathan, Binah Story 2 The Extraction Team Department houses numerous pillar-like tombstones collectively referred to as, The ‘Well’ (우물, umul), with the black coffins holding the bodies of countless comatose humans. These employees are kept in a half-dreaming state where they could only mutter incoherent whispers, all awaiting their turn to be injected with Cogito according to the register given to Binah. All of the humans kept in the pillars were selected by L Corp. when the script was first written, and have long since forsaken their names and pasts. The Bucket below the Extraction Team Department “ “When the Bucket that holds the faded ideal of hers comes in contact with the ego of another person, a certain change occurs.” ” —Binah, Binah Story 4 “ “...........Grr….grrrrrrrrrrr…..ggggggg……” ” —Nameless employee, being injected with Cogito “ “Nobody should make direct eye contact with the drawn.” ” —Binah, staring the Nameless employee in the eyes while witnessing the mind-destroying extraction of an Abnormality Binah describes the Cogito and its source, the disembodied nervous system of Carmen, as The Bucket—used to draw out the Abnormalities from the Wells’ ego. When Carmen’s ego within the Cogito makes contact with the Wells’ ego, one out of two outcomes will occur: The Extraction Team Department, filled to the brim with the pillars housing the comatose humans. The human is transformed into an Abnormality, a form extracted from their subconscious, and is fated to an immortal, unearthly existence; Or, the human is left trapped inside the pillar forever, and an Ordeal is produced from the failed attempt. The latter result usually occurs when the level of Cogito is inadequately administered, as Binah posits it to be “an adverse effect [of] doing something unspeakable to a human being”. Employee protocol The process of injecting Cogito into the Wells is so viscerally damaging to the human psyche, that Binah and the employees under her command are always on the very cusps of their sanity. Due to the programming hardwired into Binah’s prosthetic body, she is unable to lose her mind and is forced to witness the mind-shattering process of extraction and the birth of Abnormalities. Thus, being the only one in the facility capable of withstanding the mental torture, every employee in the Extraction Team is conditioned to follow Binah’s every command—willing to push themselves to the brink of complete physical or mental destruction, if need be. With the gradual dosage administered guided by Binah orders, employees responsible for injecting the Cogito into the Wells are required to have their eyes and ears covered—lest they lose their minds looking at the transforming human or listening to the sounds of their change. Even just a glimpse into one of the pillars is enough to mentally break an individual, with even the highest dosage of Enkephalin to amnestisize them being insufficient. An employee, upon request to remember the experience of the extraction process, will result in a total mental shutdown, even if ordered to persist on Binah’s command. Enkephalin Lobotomy Corporation had the unique ability to produce "Enkephalin" (엔케팔린, Enkepallin), a substance extracted from Abnormalities whenever they feel satisfied. Enkephalin was typically manufactured by isolating Abnormalities into Containment Units and providing stimulation through interactions such as play, conversation, or violence. The refined version of the substance appears as a green liquid kept in EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes, but Enkephalin can be kept in a gaseous form depending on the extraction method. PE-Boxes, the most popular container for Enkaphalin. Strictly purified Enkephalin possesses a psychotherapeutic effect on those that consume or are exposed to it, thus it can be used as a recreational drug in addition to its energy production. Due to its soothing nature, Enkephalin is regularly administered towards L Corp. employees to subdue their mental stress, ranging from standard liquid doses, to even Enkephalin gas—which fills the departments throughout the facilities. The SP-E Bullets (SP-E 탄환, SP-E Tanhwan) made available to the manager to restore the sanity of Agents were developed through the use of Enkephalin’s therapeutic uses as well. Because Enkephalin was highly valuable as an efficient fuel source and was advertised as an eco-friendly form of energy, L Corp’s status as a Wing was elevated far above its peers and cemented the megacorp as a major power within the City. E.G.O The E.G.O Equipment given to employees are weapons and suits extracted from Abnormalities' beings, appearing in various forms. E.G.O (or Extermination of Geometrical Organ) is in itself the archetype of an Abnormality, drawn out and compressed into equipment form. It is said that the moment someone equips E.G.O, they'll instantly know how to properly wield it, regardless of fighting background. As this type of equipment is essentially independently functioning archetypes of an Abnormality, it is no mistake to say that Agents wield the same kind of power and danger that Abnormalities possess. All E.G.O Equipment produced and distributed towards L Corp’s employees are extracted by the Extraction Team under the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters. E.G.O Corrosion Due to their nature of essentially being Abnormalities stabilized into suits and weapons, those with weak minds and wills will risk having their egos consumed by E.G.O Equipment beyond their capabilities. Thus L Corp. only assigns E.G.O towards employees with appropriate levels of Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance, and/or Justice to avoid such risks. When a human equips E.G.O they are not mentally prepared to wield, the Abnormality within the equipment will one-sidedly whisper into the mind of the user until it eventually takes over their mind. This process is known as E.G.O Corrosion (E.G.O 침식, E.G.O Chimsik), where the Abnormality’s personality gradually overrides the wearer like a ‘shell’ until the equipment in question completely overtakes them, physically transforming the wielder into a monster acting as another instance of the original Abnormality, albeit slayable. E.G.O Gifts Apart from direct extraction methods, Abnormalities can also provide trinkets or even their own body parts to employees they fancy. These presents are collectively known as E.G.O Gifts (E.G.O 기프트, E.G.O Gipeuteu), and will either permanently integrate into the employee’s anatomy or form an attachment with the Agent that makes them reluctant to cast the gift off. Though E.G.O Gifts are of a lesser degree than regular E.G.O Equipment, they are still a part of the egos of the Abnormalities they originated from, and carry the same risk of mental deterioration if too many Gifts are taken by an Agent. Related Entities Monsters Initially, Abnormalities were discovered as a general type of monster (괴물, goemul) that could be found in either the Outskirts or the Ruins. While Abnormalities can generally be considered monsters, the word 'monster' is used as an umbrella term for many different kinds of entities distinct from Abnormalities (i.e., the Mermaids and Whales found in the Great Lake). Ordeals Ordeals (시련, siryeon) are created as a byproduct from the extractions and Negative Enkephalin produced by the Abnormalities within the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters. Ordeals, like Abnormalities, are beings that can represent past traumas and any conceptual idea imaginable, embodying any possibility from the past, present, and future. Aimlessly wandering around the facility as intangible phenomena, Ordeals will resonate with the Abnormalities and manifest physical form. Thus, these threats are out of the hands of the Extraction Team and wreak havoc across the facility almost uncontrollably, if not for them being incapacitated by Qliphoth Deterrence in the way Abnormalities are. Gameplay The Abnormalities possess different aspects in-game, from information to effects. This section will explain the basics of them and most features that the Abnormalities share. Containment: Abnormalities are contained in 'Containment Units', zones where they reside at the start of the day in passive states. The Containment Units are all the same. The Abnormalities contained are divided into the different departments available, usually housing 4 to 8 Abnormalities per Department in their units. At the start of most days, the player must choose one Abnormality to add to their facility, usually from a selection of 3. The Containment Units display the name of the Abnormality and the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter (initially "?") at the top, their Risk Level (If unlocked) and amount of EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes collected at the top left, and at the left side a bar that fills when work is performed, displaying the amount of PE and NE-Boxes produced. At the middle is the Abnormality, to which player can assign works by clicking on the room. Works and Interactions: The main interaction with the Abnormalities are by sending Agents to their Containment Units to perform one of the four works available: Instinct.png Instinct, Insight.png Insight, Attachment.png Attachment, and Repression.png Repression. Depending on the work preference and other stats, the Abnormality will produce an amount of EBoxIcon.png E-Boxes. PE-Boxes are positive energy that will be collected at the end of the task and added to the Energy Quota, while NE-Boxes are negative energy that is discarded as a 'fail work', which will also damage the employee working with the Abnormality. Encyclopedia/Information Section: Any EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes collected at the end of the task will also be added to the respective to be used as 'points' to unlock information about that Abnormality and its equipment. The EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes of the Abnormality are saved permanently over days and new games, as well any information unlocked. New Abnormalities don't possess any information unlocked and only their Subject Number will be displayed for their name. To access their Information Tab, the player must click on the name of the Abnormality while in the Management Phase or their portrait while in the Deployment Phase. There are 4 sections of information, each one unlockable by spending EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes. Depending of the Risk Level, the cost of the sections will change. The sections are: Basic Information: Unlock the basic info of the Abnormality, including Name, Portrait, Subject Number, Risk Level, PE-Boxes, Range of Mental Results, Attack Damage and Damage Type. It will change the current name of the Abnormality's Containment Unit and display its QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, if it has any (Otherwise, shown with an 'X'). Managerial Works: Helpful notes that inform about the effects and 'rules' to handle the Abnormality. This can be information about the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, work preferences, harmful effects, breaching abilities and others. There can be multiple Managerial Works to unlock, each one displaying different information of the Abnormality. Work Preferences/Favor: A list of 4 minor sections that unlock the overall preferences of the respective work, showing the WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate for the each 5 level of that work, depending on the stat level of the employee performing that work. When selecting an employee to perform a work on an Abnormality, the overall WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate of the work will be shown as: Very Low, Low, Common, High or Very High. If the Work Favor of the respective work is not yet unlocked, the WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate will remain hidden and classified as 'Unknown.' Escape Information: Display the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, its initial count or with an 'X' if not using it; and the defenses of the Abnormality if it's able to breach, escaping from their containment and needed to be re-contained by 'Suppression Work', sending employees to attack the Abnormality until its HPIcon.png HP drops to 0. The defenses show their vulnerability against the 4 types of damage: RedDamageTypeIcon.png Red, WhiteDamageTypeIcon.png White, BlackDamageTypeIcon.png Black and PaleDamageTypeIcon.png Pale. Observation Levels: When unlocking completely one of the sections, it will grant an Observation Level, up to 4 levels. Each level can grant an increase of WorkSuccessIcon.png Success Rate/Chance or WorkSpeedIcon.png Work Speed, depending of the Abnormality. Unlocking Observation Levels also add Entries to the Abnormality's Story, which can be access at the top left of the information tab of the Abnormality. The Story Tab cover entries about descriptions, explanation of effects, related events, interviews and other information linked to said Abnormality. E.G.O Equipment: The E.G.O Equipment is unlocked along, but not limited to, the Observation Levels of the Abnormality. There are 3 types of E.G.O Equipment: Weapon, Suit and Gift. The equipment needs EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes as a cost to be manufactured once unlocked, which then later can be equipped by Agents during the Deployment Phase to fight off and resist more bigger threats. Weapons change the Damage Type and value that an Agent deals, as well the Range and Firing Speed. Suits change the defenses of the Agent against the Damage Type that they receive. Multiple Gifts can be equipped by a single Agent, as long as they don't occupy the same slot. They can change an Agent's stats, giving a slight buff or adding extra effects in certain conditions. These aren't manufactured but given randomly (chances range from 1% to 5%) by the Abnormalities when finishing work. QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter and Anomalous Effects: Abnormalities are entities that possess unusual abilities that can harm or benefit employees and/or the facility. This vary from simple HPHealing.pngSPHealing.png Healing to breaching containment. A way to measure the triggering of a effect is via their QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter, which, when reaching a number (usually 0), will trigger its ability. Most abilities will include the Abnormality breaching the Containment Unit. However, not all the Abnormalities use the QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counter to use their abilities. Unused QliphothCounterIcon.png Qliphoth Counters are marked with a 'X' instead of a number. Abilities may also be triggered by GoodResult.png Work Results, EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes collected, FortitudeIcon.png Stat Levels and work performed. Breaching Abnormalities need to be suppressed to be returned to their Containment Units. If neglected, they can cause major harm in the facility or lessen the amount LOB Points earned when ending the day. Tool Abnormalities Tool Abnormalities are another type of Abnormality that are used. These Tools, unlike other Abnormalities, are added to the facility every fourth day of each six day cycle. The Tools don't possess work preferences but instead have a single work to use them. In most Tool's subject numbers, their type is 09 (With one being 07). Tools give positive effects, like HPHealing.pngSPHealing.png healing, EBoxIcon.png energy production or FortitudeIcon.png Stat boost, among others, often for a cost. They are divided into 3 types: Single Use Tools: Tools that give a single and instant effect upon being worked with an Agent. These Tools have a 'Number of Uses' to unlock their information. Channeled Use Tools: Tools that have a constant work use that can be cancelled when ordered again. These Tools have a 'Time of Use' to unlock their information. Equippable Tools: Tools that an Agent equips upon use. When equipped, they grant their effects to the Agent. To return one of these Tools, simply click on the Tool's Containment Unit. Agents can only equip 1 Tool at a time. If the Agent equipped with a Tool dies, it will be returned to the Containment Unit. They are also returned at the end of the day. Depending on their type, their Observation Level and the way to get information about them is different. The main information unlocks its name, portrait, subject number and tool type. Logs unlocks entries and story related information and the Methods unlocks information about the Abnormality, like its effects and ways to use it. Classification Code Each Abnormality is given a classification code following a Letter-XX-YY format: The first letter denotes the source category of an Abnormality's origin. Among the designations shown below are F, T, and O, which were revealed in the Lobotomy Corporation Artbook[1], and M, which appears in Limbus Company but has not yet been explained: F: Fairytale "Forgotten tales, Folklore, Oral tradition, Legends" T: Trauma "Intense personal experience, Horrific fear, Emotions" O: Original "Beyond the boundaries between the River and the Ocean, Unknown causes. Natural occurrences, Manufactured, the Well" The catch-all categorization for any Abnormality that doesn't neatly fit into the previous classifications. D: Donation Abnormalities created by the Tumblbug backers that crowdfunded the Lobotomy Corporation kickstarter from before the official release of the game. Donor Abnormalities are given unique, rounded extraction boxes to differentiate them from regular Abnormalities with square boxes on the selection menu. These types of Abnormalities are not required for 100% completion of the game and do not contribute in obtaining the True Ending of the game. Can be turned off from appearing in the Abnormality selection pool in the settings. M: Unknown - possibly 'Mythical' Does not appear in Lobotomy Corporation, but several Abnormalities with the 'M' classification appear in Limbus Company, including My Form Empties, Brazen Bull, and Doomsday Calendar. All three of these Abnormalities are associated with objects from or are representative of mythology, which is where the speculation that M stands for Mythical stems from. The second number's purpose is currently unclear. The third number acts as a unique code for the Abnormality, which doesn't repeat between Abnormalities, and the last letter (Only for Legacy) is for the risk level classification (Z for Risk Zayin.png ZAYIN, T for Risk Teth.png TETH, and so on). In effect, a player knowing this, especially the third number, can get a huge jumpstart on information about the Abnormality. Presumably, the third designation represents the order the Abnormalities were extracted in (i.e., implying F-01-02, Scorched Girl, was the second type of Abnormality to have been extracted, for example). Codex The Codex, also known as The Abnormality Encyclopedia, is a mechanic that allows players to view their collection of Abnormality Details. It can be accessed on the main menu via the lower right corner (before story completion) or top right corner (after story completion). The Codex starts out with no Abnormalities within and 0% Abnormality Dissolution but will grow as the player fully researches Abnormalities. Abnormality Dissolution The Abnormality Dissolution is the percentage of fully researched Abnormalities within the codex. The percentage excludes Backer Abnormalities, Don't Touch Me, Plague Doctor, and Apocalypse Bird, leaving only 74 Abnormalities required for complete codex. Etymology An ‘abnormality’ refers to an abnormal trait or occurrence; the term is usually used in a medical context. “Abnormality” was a machine translated result of the Korean name for the entities, ‘Hwansangche’ (Hangul: 환상체; Hanja: 幻想體); a remnant of the poor translation work done by the first English translation team that scammed Project Moon during the early days of Lobotomy Corporation's development. While not wholly accurate, the name stuck—being used by the non-English parts of the fandoms due to the early translations; “Abnormality” continues to see use in future works within the franchise. Derived from ‘hwansang’ (환상, 幻想), meaning illusion or fantasy; the suffix -‘che’ (체, 體) implies the former to be a physical entity. Their names would’ve formed wordplay around “fantasy”, as exemplified with Adam’s monologue on Day 49 as seen below. If Abnormalities could have been given a more accurate localization, a title such as ‘fantasm’ or ‘fantoms’ would’ve been appropriate paronomasia. Adam, Day 49 Korean Direct translation Current translation "환상체들은 더 이상 환상이 아니야." "The fantasms (Abnormalities) are no longer fantasies." "The Abnormalities are no longer abnormal; they are no mere fantasies anymore." Hwansangchedeuleun deo isang hwansangi aniya. In early versions of the Japanese translation, as a result of the sloppy translation work, the English name, ‘Abnormality’, was directly transcribed as ‘Abunōmaritī’ (アブノーマリティー), rather than properly transcribing the Korean name ‘Hwansangche’ (환상체). This transcription is retained even in the current version of the Japanese translation of Lobotomy Corporation. While the issue was alleviated with Library of Ruina and later installments of the franchise, with Abnormalities being referred to as ‘Gensōtai’ (幻想体, げんそうたい), the JP fandom still habitually refer Abnormalities as ‘Abunōmariti’ (アブノーマリティ). They are notably similar to, and inspired by, the various Special Containment Procedure objects from the SCP Foundation. Poor Screenwriter's Note, Hammer of Light and Price of Silence are Legacy Abnormalities that weren't brought back into the new version. Each of the damage types is the same color of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. RedDamageTypeIcon.png RED for the red horse of War. WhiteDamageTypeIcon.png WHITE for the white horse of Conquest. BlackDamageTypeIcon.png BLACK for the black horse of Famine. PaleDamageTypeIcon.png PALE for the pale horse of Death. The Lobotomy Corporation artbook details most of the non-donator Abnormalities' designs and unlockable stories from the game, as well as in-development designs and other unused or beta designs. The format of the artbook is also based on a paper manual intended for the manager, with the front cover stating "Manual of Lobotomy Corporation." The back of the artbook also bears the unique classification code "O-09-05."
