Lobotomy Corporation touts itself as a mix between a buisness/monster simulation and a roguelike game. This description is incredibly misleading. When you think of a "simulation", one would assume that there would be different aspects you control in the game, but those mechanics are completely shallow.

This description is incredibly misleading. When you think of a "simulation", one would assume that there would be different aspects you control in the game, but those mechanics are completely shallow. And the "roguelike" aspect only comes from the selection of artifacts or monsters you choose from when given the opportunity to do so.
As far as the whole simulation aspect is concerned, there's very little of it. You can "hire" employees, change their equipment and decide what they do, based on the department they work in. That's it. There's really no management of resources, or selections of departments or tools or anything like that.
As far as the game goes, it's very simple, each successful day completed you choose from a new "abnormality" (which is labeled under a serial number). Then you spend the day trying to understand it by studying it while maintaining and containing all of your other abnormalities.
Studying a abnormality is completely a game of guess work and can completely ruin a game until you know what's going on with it. Unless you've watched play throughs and understand what they do and what they need, all you can do is blindly click.
After you complete research of a abnormality, it's just a matter of grinding energy and packages from them. That's it. The first couple of day(s) can be fun, but the longer you play, the longer you realize that's there's actually very little gameplay holding this game together. And it gets boring very quickly.
For almost $25.00 for a "indie" game, I would have really expected a lot more based on what they actually advertise. In some instances I would actually argue their STEAM store page may be misleading and possibly false advertising.
If you can get this game for $5.00 then fine, take a chance. But at full price this game is a full blown rip off.… Expand
