A press interview conducted by Japanese gaming outlet GameSpark with Project Moon director Kim Jihoon in April 2018, coinciding with the official Steam release of Lobotomy Corporation. In the interview, Kim discussed the game’s development history, revealing that the project began life as a college club activity in January 2015. The initial concept was to create an SCP Foundation-inspired monster management simulation game—something Kim felt was underserved in the gaming market. At the start, Kim was the primary developer with a team of just four people, expanded to ten by the time of release. The interview covers the design philosophy behind the Abnormalities, the Enkephalin extraction mechanic, and the game’s difficulty and deliberate opacity, which Kim acknowledged was intentionally punishing. This interview is one of the earliest and most cited sources for understanding Project Moon’s origins as a small independent Korean studio that grew entirely out of Kim’s student passion project.
