From my personal impression, I remember a time when Lobotomy Corporation was a huge topic in Japan! Back then, before updates, the character graphics were much simpler, and didn’t have such distinctive visuals.So I think those who discovered Lobotomy Corporation learned that its sequels inherited and connected to the same world, leading more people to check out Library Of Ruina and Limbus Company as well.

All three of these games are horror-themed and slightly eerie simulation games! If you've played one of them, definitely try the others too!
