What is Lobotomy Corporation | Monster Management Simulation?

  • −you mainly want story without demanding management gameplay

What players say

94% of 57,750 reviews are positive · 94% of 905 in the last 30 days

Players praise the worldbuilding, narrative, characters, music, and varied Abnormalities. The main complaints are relentless micromanagement, repeated resets, and losing hours of progress to poorly understood creature rules; some players also say mods are needed to make the later game tolerable.
