No spoilers in here but just need to get something out of the way first, I HIGHLY recommend playing Lobotomy Corporation first or at least watching the cutscenes (if you're a coward/j) since it genuinely adds so much to this game it cannot be overstated enough. Yes the gameplay in Lobotomy Corporation also adds to it but enough of that you know why you're here. No spoilers also means I cannot delve too deep into why I love this game so fucking much but trust in the process!

This game almost made me fail my finals, rewired my cerebral cortex, took away my motor functions and the ability to feel fear. This a game whose difficulty spike is so vertical it makes economic inflation seem tame, this game will NOT babysit you, it expects you to read the entire Bible at the age of 3 and then go fight a group of bears with your bare hands. All this accompanied by such intricate gameplay mechanics, an absolute banger of a soundtrack and a story that is so convoluted, bizarre and most of all: intriguing that you'll think you hallucinated how it still ends up being so disturbingly coherent at the end of it.

But lets get into the premise now, this game NEEDS you to read, like a lot. The setting? Have you ever asked yourself what if humanity fucked up so bad we thought letting mega business corporations dictate our lives would be a good idea? Well here it is, the finish line to that fantasy. The setting takes place in the titular continent sized City composed of 26 distinct districts each controlled by a mega corporation and because of humanities ingenious idea to let said corporations dictate their lives the world is, in a nutshell, divided into the super fucking rich and the super fucking poor. Which one are you? I'll leave that up to the imagination. This game quite possibly has my favorite world ever made in a game accompanied by stellar world building to back it up, every single section of the game sheds more light onto the world and its inhabitants. The poor live in a lawless hellhole known as the Backstreets while the rich live in places called the Wings under the direct jurisdiction of the corporation controlling them. The poor? Well in classic fashion they simply don't care! Happiness? Dreams? Stability? Sorry buddy we don't have that here. Murder? Organ harvesting? Cannibalism? British people? These are the horrors waiting for whoever is unlucky enough to live in the Backstreets (most people).

The game begins through the eyes of our good buddy Roland stumbling into the titular Library while looking for a sandwich, getting made into a kebab by the director and then healed to then be a slave. This could be you someday at your local library! The synopsis on this sure explains it pretty clearly I just wanted to be funny but yes this is the end of the review so might as well give a warning to NOT look up anything about the characters, all info you need is neatly presented to you in a controlled manner and kept in the game itself to view at your own leisure. Now go play Lobotomy Corporation so you can hop on peak fiction! This isn't a request, its an invitation.
