A review of Lobotomy Corporation published by Rock Paper Shotgun in April 2018, contemporaneously with the game’s full Steam release. The review is notable for its ambivalent tone: the reviewer praised the game’s atmosphere, creature design, and quiet ambient horror but criticized its user interface and gameplay as “unnecessarily complicated.” More importantly for historical record, the review documented significant issues with the initial English-language translation that plagued the game at launch. The localization was described as poor, with grammatical errors and unclear instructions that compounded the game’s already steep difficulty curve. This is a well-known piece of Project Moon community history, as the translation has since been substantially overhauled and improved. The review serves as a valuable contemporary source for understanding both the critical reception of the game at launch and the technical hurdles Project Moon faced in bringing a Korean indie game to the global market.
