Lobotomy Corporation — Steam gift

Buy Lobotomy Corporation — a Steam gift dripping with horror atmosphere

Welcome to a corporation that harvests energy from monsters, where the cost of a mistake is measured in employees' lives. Lobotomy Corporation | Monster Management Simulation is a horror management roguelite by Korean studio Project Moon, released in 2018. Here the game is sold as a Steam gift: a bot sends a gift copy via an invite link, you accept it, and Lobotomy Corporation stays in your library forever. By 2023 the project had sold over a million copies — and deservedly so.

What a Steam gift is and how it arrives

You are buying a gift in Steam, not a key. After payment our bot sends a friend invite link. The path is simple: open Steam, go to Friends, click Add a Friend and follow the link. Once the bot is on your friends list, it sends the gift — you just click Accept Gift and add the game to your library. We do not need access to your account: the whole exchange runs through friendship and the accept button on your side.

The gift region is visible from the lot currency

A key detail that saves nerves: the gift region is defined by the price currency. If the lot is priced in one currency, the gift is set up for the matching region; another currency means another region. Take the lot whose region matches your Steam account region. This is not a formality — Steam checks the match when you accept a gift.

What happens on a region mismatch or a library duplicate

If the gift region does not match yours, Steam simply will not let you accept it. The same happens if Lobotomy Corporation is already on your account — you cannot trick the system. No harm done: in both cases we refund the money to your store balance and you pick a different lot or game. So before buying, glance at your library and check the lot currency against your region.

What it is about: a corporation milking nightmares

You are Manager X, and your job sounds mundane: meet the daily energy quota. Except here energy is harvested by making employees "work" with Abnormalities — eerie entities in the spirit of the SCP Foundation, The Cabin in the Woods and Warehouse 13. Each day you receive a new Abnormality in a department's containment cell. The more your staff interact with it, the more LOB points and energy trickle in — and the more of its file unfolds: threat level, name, special gear.

Abnormalities, risk and the price of one mistake

Every Abnormality is a set of rules to crack. Some like being worked with in a certain way; others turn feral at the slightest slip. Give the wrong order and a seemingly harmless creature unleashes bloody chaos across the whole floor, mowing down staff and infecting neighboring cells. The game is known for its high difficulty and roguelite structure: death and failure are part of a cycle from which you carry knowledge. This is management not about comfort, but about cold calculation and the cost of a miscalculation.

A 50-day shift cycle and rising pressure

The campaign is built as 50 daily shifts. Each new day adds fresh creatures, raises the quota and complicates managing a sprawling complex. You have to think ahead: which employees go where, which Abnormalities to unlock first, what to risk for energy. Little by little you turn from a bewildered rookie into a cold-headed manager — or you start the shift over and over, learning your lessons.

The story behind the management facade

The game splits into two parts: the monster management itself and visual story segments that unlock at the end of each day. Behind the grim routine hides a tale about the corporation, its workers and its real goals. It is this narrative that keeps many players pushing all 50 days to the end — Project Moon knows how to hold tension. This is the full release version, long out of early access, not a demo.

Steam Guard, delivery and payment

Steam Guard is not required to accept a gift, and at no point do we ask for your login, password or codes. The bot usually sends the invite soon after payment; sometimes adding a friend and sending takes a little time — then we try to handle it promptly, and the order status is always visible on the site. If the checkout page has a coupon field, enter a valid store promo code and the total recalculates before you confirm. The order is placed without mandatory registration.

Employees, stats and EGO gear

Your subordinates are not faceless drones. Each employee has stats governing health, composure and work efficiency, and you can level them up by sending people to interact with Abnormalities. Studied creatures yield EGO gear — special weapons and armor seemingly cast from a given monster's nature. The right loadout is sometimes the only thing that saves a floor during a breach. Risk management here also means smart distribution of people, weapons and armor across departments.

Project Moon's debut and a bigger universe

Lobotomy Corporation is the debut game of Korean studio Project Moon and the starting point of its grim interconnected universe, which the studio later expanded with other projects. This is where the imagery, themes and cold corporate aesthetic that fans keep coming back to are laid down. If you value authored worlds with deep lore and are not scared of uncomfortable, heavy themes, this corporation is the perfect entry point into the studio's work.

Who can survive a shift at Lobotomy Corporation, plus a region fallback

Lobotomy Corporation is for fans of hardcore management, dark stories and SCP-flavored worlds where every decision matters. Newcomers should brace for a steep learning curve, but the immersion is worth it. If you do not have a Steam account for the needed region, pick a lot in your country's currency so the gift goes through, or check out a Steam gift card — a convenient way to top up your wallet for your region. Buying from us means a genuine gift below retail, with no access to your account.
