Lobotomy Corporation is a 2018 indie horror rogue-lite strategy management simulation video game developed and published by South Korean studio Project Moon for Microsoft Windows. Set in a futuristic dystopia, the game follows the management and operations of an energy company that harvests energy from strange and dangerous entities known as "Abnormalities".[1][2] The premise of Lobotomy Corporation is inspired by the SCP Foundation, Warehouse 13, and The Cabin in the Woods.[3][4]

Initially a standalone game, Lobotomy Corporation has become the basis for a connected series of video games, webcomics and web novels. A sequel, the deck-building game Library of Ruina, was released for Windows and Xbox One in August 2021.[5] A third installment, the dungeon role-playing game Limbus Company, was released in February 2023.[6] A companion manhwa, Wonderlab, was serialized from March 2020 to April 2021.
