Lobotomy Corporation - Warning 1-3 // Reaction & Analysis 

The sheer whiplash of hearing you say "distortion" and "ideal" in the same sentence, without knowing PM lore, is fucking insane.

First trumpet: go kill that vacuum cleaner Second trumpet: go kill that hyper deathray beam snake Third trumpet: long ago in a warm forest lived three happy birds

1:01 "That Distortion on there is so Ideal" - Carmen, probably

1st warning: eh, a bird broke out nothing to worry about 2nd warning: manager... Time to start paying attention! 3rd warning: HAVE I NOT CHOSEN YOU 12? AND YET ONE OF YOU IS OF THE DEVIL

First trumpet is the smoke Second trumpet is the fire Third trumpet is the ashes

12:11 A fun fact about the aforementioned corners of the video, those are actual bits of in-game UI that appear when the music plays in-game, and are actually diegetic in-world as well due to the player character canonically viewing everything that happens in-game through a screen!

He said it! He said distortion!

First Warning: Oh no, anyway Second Warning: F*** it, we ball Third Warning: It's Joever

1: Theres nothing there to worry about. 2: Theres Nothing There to worry about! 3: Theres nothing there to worry about...

1st trumpet: you almost fucked up, restore everything carefully and thoughtfully 2nd trumpet: you fucked up, do something quickly!!! 3rd trumpet: you fucked up...

1st Warning: "Alright folks, remember to keep clear of the exploding child." 2nd Warning: Magical Girl PTSD. (If you know, you know.) 3rd Warning: *Train Noises Intensify*

One of the things I like most about the Warnings soundtrack is that they have an almost built in situational awareness. As the songs go on for longer, they start to change their tune, almost understanding that things should not have gone on for this long. With First Warning, it starts off with simple anxiety inducing alarms, but if you dont suppress the threat quickly the music understands that something bad is going down. Likewise, with Third Warning, it starts off being dark and depressing, expecting you to turn back the clock and try again. However, if you keep fighting, it figures out that there is still at least *something* left, and switches to a more hopeful tone while maintaining a level of that doom and gloom. It can tell that you see there is something still left fighting for and is supporting you, but it is also warning you that much of what you've had will be unsalvageable after the fact.

"Perfect amount of Distortion" Head at end of Ruina

Though you only hear these three in the game, there are actually 7 trumpets (warnings) The first means a minor threat to the facility and its employee's is present The second is the final warning to improve the situation to avoid the death of most employee's The third is the situation requires a miracle to come back from alive, most employee's are dead The fourth is the facility is done for, and you, if you are still alive, are as well. The fifth is if the fourth trumpet has been set off in multiple facilities and branches at the same time The sixth is if the situation cannot be handled by upper governments anymore The seventh is the end, humanity is in ruin, and there is no hope in the apocalypse to come these are all off the lobotomy corporation artbook, which you can purchase on steam. has alot of really cool facts and art! goodluck, manager.

1st warning: something to worry about 2nd warning: a lot to worry about 3rd warning: nothing left to worry about

I love how he reacts to our collective nightmares as “vibe music” lmao I can feel my SP restored with this reaction

Every single time Catharsis talked about how that siren noise made him feel uncomfortable, how it made his body instinctually want to get away from it, made me smile. Because it really does mean that that siren is doing its job properly. You don't want to hear that siren playing--That's why you're encouraged to suppress the threat as soon as possible. Suppress it, and everything will return peaceful. Ignore your duties as a facility manager, however, and all you will hear is that siren.

One of the most terrying songs from lob corp is the hokma suppresion theme. Nothings in the world of music comes close of HEARING how its like to have a complete and utter mental breakdown Circle rombed oxygen

1st trumpet: Face the Fear, Build the Future. 2nd trumpet: Face the Fear. 3rd trumpet: The Fear.

Alright im gonna do my version of this: 1: Minor slip-up, you're good. 2: Major threat. Pay attention and remove quickly. 3: Its Joever. The game is mocking you, just reset.

Second Warning really captures the “Ohgodohshitohfuck” energy that occurs when a breach reaches that level.

1: Awww look at the little bird pecking our agents 2: Okay so Queen of Hatred escaped. Get in there and suppress her. 3: I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH THE BUTTON MANAGER NOOOOO-

You're spot on. In LC, you manage employees (or nuggets as they are called in the community) to research creatures called Abnormalities. The first warning is when they get out. The second warning is if a few of them get out or a few of your nuggets have died. The last warning is either when most of your nuggets are dead, a lot of Abnormalities break out, or one of the top tier Abnormality break out. It's so hopeless that you might as well just reset the day.

1st warning: An abnormality got out, but surely you can handle it, right manager? 2nd warning: Several abnormalities are out, some of our agents are dead, but you can still get the departments under control! 3nd warning: All hope is lost, our abnormalities are on a rampage, our agents are dead, our departments in ruin, and *It's all your fault*

In my opinion the progress bar on 3rd trumpet dissappearing has to be intentional, because for me that really cements the feel of "all is lost"

Its always very cool to see what people think will happen after Second Warning, because its never quite what they expect. Also really interesting to hear all the sound design talk.

You almost got it, great job, these songs are: 1. Just your everyday "Some eldrith horror escaped it's chamber so we poke it with a stick until it crawls back" 2. More difficult fights, either several eldritch horrors escape at once, or some really big ones. 3. You lose and watch as abovementioned horrors butchhered all your workers and wander the facility, searching for a way out to doom the rest of the world.

Dunno if anyone told you Initially when these songs were made, there were going to be 7 of them They were inspired off of “The Seven Trumpets of The Apocalypse”, hence why they’re called trumpets in game and not just warnings First Trumpet signifies small amount of death or small amounts of panic. The manager (You.) will need to focus if they do not wish for things to spiral out of control The Second Trumpet is the beginning of the spiral into chaos. It’s imperative that The Manager focuses and deals with things swiftly if they do not wish for things to get much worse or possibly irreparable The Third Trumpet usually signifies The End.. Everyone is either dead, insane, or horrifically injured. Multiple of your teams and crews have been wiped out, monsters beyond reason are finishing off those they can catch or are taking over parts of the facility. Right, also; the whole niche with the songs and how the game plays is/can be summed up with “Everything spirals into chaos” - Release Trailer

1st warning: Oh no 2nd warning: Oh god! Oh fk 3rd warning: Oh well..

first trumpet: unfuck the fuck you did second trumpet: try to unfuck the fuck you did third trumpet: you fucked up

In the first warning siren warns you. Rhythm keeps you on edge. And lowering synth descends you straight to hell

I noticed this only now. The Second Trumpet has a church bell ringing, like it's a massive disaster in progress

The first warning is there to mainly build up anxiety and to kind of show what we are actually dealing with The second warning is there to build up adrealine and to stay vigilant to every little change that might happen, was it by accident or not The third warning is telling you to just reset the day, its not worth fighting against all that the world has against the few employees alive.

For their debut game, Project Moon did a great job giving the sense of how dangerous and intense it is to work at Lobotomy Corporation. The CEOs of a company that manages monsters don’t care for their employees and expect every problem to be solved by their employees. Note the ALL monsters in this game have the ability to kill employees for a variety of reasons and in a variety of horrific ways.

First warning: "A situation is occuring, dispatch a suppression team to get it under control." Second warning: "Alert! Multiple breaches. Going into full emergency mode." Third warning: "All hope it lost. The abnormalities can no longer be brought under control. All employees that are still alive may use their last moments to pray or take the easy way out. Preparing the facility's self destruction."

You are right on point! To explain the smallest bits of positivity in the third warning: while you are in a state of absolute misery which *almost* could be considered a "Game Over", you can *still* salvage the situation. Without skill you are as good as dead and that warrants a reset of the day, perhaps a week, or the entire run. With it you can get maybe ten men safe out of a hundred. But can you continue with this... Can you rebuild your force?

He got this mostly right, 1 is "alright lets send our highest level employee and kill this thing" 2 is "oh shit, anyways just blast that thing. Every employee either keep something in or kill this thing." 3 is "oh... guess i'll try my best.."

First Warning: "Goddammit, who breached this time?" (It's Queen of Hatred, it's always her) Second Warning: "Did I forget I left someone in the shelter again? (the answer is yes) Third Warning: *_"Why is the Plague Doctor changing?"_*

The Vocal Chop sample in Warning 1 has the Uncanny Valley feel to it , idk why.

First Trumpet: oh god MoSB broke out again, somebody go deal with it. Second Trumpet: wait why are half of my alephs out? oh god somebody went insane Third Trumpet: WHY IS EVERYBODY DEAD???

LOBOTOMY CORP MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥WHAT THE FUCK IS A DIFFICULTY CUUUURVE?????!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

The 1st one is a simple alarm where you gotta deal with this threat The 2nd needs you to surpress this thing asoon as possible before anything bigger happens And the 3rd is as if godlike being just dropped from heaven and telling you that "yourr time is up"

I get now why they made these such bangers, Angela always intended for the abnormalities to get out

"Choir of the damned" lmao accurate

first trumpet is panic,second trumpet is struggle,third trumpet is death.

First Trumpet: "whoops!" Second Trumpet: "OHGODOHFUCKOHSHITFUCKFUCKFUCKAAAAAAAAAAAA" Third Trumpet: * slams head on desk, sobbing profusely while restarting the day for the fifteenth time * (edited for spelling)

2:24 "Hello?" Awakened my PTSD.

i recommend listening to those songs while in game. trust me, nothing goes wrong

The fun of the First Warning shift with that distorted Roar is that it gives the perfect vibe of having sent your Nuggets to deal with a creature, it's the moment the elevator opens and they open fire And of course, it then returns slowly to silence as the work is finished

1st warning: it's fixable with relatively speaking no losses 2nd: people are going to die or at the very least it's going to be a tough battle with bleak prospects. 3rd: you are already doomed. There is no perceivable way to victory. Not enough manpower to fight. This is the song of the end. Fun fact about third trumpet: a certain entity is so strong that the second it activates the third warning plays. It was believed to be so unkillable during development that it lacks a death animation entirely. It also assaults your ears with aggressive overly loud breathing the entire time you have it in passive mode.

First Trumpet: Ignore the small birb. Second Trumpet: Time to worry! the meat dog got into it's final phase! Third Trumpet: Everyone is dead.

Warning 1: The pup just escaped its cage, just catch him and get back to work. Warning 2: Okay, gotta get a little bit serious to get things under control again. Warning 3: God has breached containment. There's no future for humanity. Horrors beyond our comprehension are feasting on our brothers, all protocols have been violated, safety is merely an illusion brought by the weak steel, waiting to be ripped appart door by door. Death himself is laughing at our faces, enjoying every minute of our desolate despair. Was this suffering part of the deal? Were our contracts written with tears of blood? Are we but mere sacrifices sought by the dozen, forsaken in this corner of hell, unaware that these are the last moments of consciousness we have inside our fleshly vessels? This, we don't know, and we will never know, for our demise is imminent. God bless you, Manager.

You made me subscribe to your channel because i literally can't stop watching your reactions on a GAME I DON'T EVEN PLAY (library of ruina)

That vocal chop is probably symbolising radio chatter when i think about it

if your looking for more lobotomy corperation songs id HIGHLY recomend the cor suppression aka "Sephirah Meltdown" themes, as in the scope of lobotomy corperation their the best "storytelling" themes. a good example would be Geburas core suppresion themes: Distorted Night and Insignia Decay

First Trumpet: Don’t think about it Second Trumpet: Start thinking about it Third Trumpet: Yeah, don’t think about it…

First trumpet: nothing there to worry about Third trumpet: there is Nothing There to worry about

you should listen too "Too many trumpets" its made by someone else named Aden Mayo who based it off the lobotomy corporation and its for the 3rd trumpet warning in the game that it plays in. Its much more of a "embrace the Symphany of chaos" type of feeling and the moment it plays in the server EVERYONE agrees to band together to stop the causing of it...the birds or in game they may also be called the twilights sense thats their weapon name, and they are a pain to take down and require everyones attention to kill them (theres 3 of them).

First trumpet: oh no Second trumpet: OH GOD Third Trumpet: Time to restart-

You also need to hear the Libary of Runia remixes of the three warnings, they are newer and the sequel to the game.

Me when i go into an elementry school: 12:37

Heres essentially the trumpets First: Manager, a monster has breached containment and has killed a couple of employees. Please take care of it. Second: Manager, about half of your employees have been killed, and another monster has breached containment. Things are growing out of hand. Third: Manager, 80% or more of your employees have been killed, and monsters are freely roaming the facility, chances of recovery are slim, you may as well give up. The more proper term for "monsters" would have been abnormalities -

The second half of First Warning is probably my favorite section of all of these pieces.

since everyone's doing it here's my take: 1-Shit's about to hit the fan! 2- SHIT HIT THE FAN! 3- Well shit...

library of ruina floor songs? I need to see reaction at our lovely green drunk guy's ost

I took that information from the Lobotomy Corporation artbook. maybe someone will be interested First warning: The anomaly has escaped and poses a minor threat to the facility and its personnel Second warning: it’s not too late to correct the situation. Of course, this will cost the lives of several employees Third warning: It's a miracle if you can get rid of this crap.. most of the employees are dead.. (the most atmospheric alarm in my opinion) there are also 4, 5, 6 and 7 warning Fourth warning: the object was destroyed. however, so is your management career. Fifth warning: the fourth alarm level was launched in several facilities and branches at once Sixth warning: If you hear this, then we have lost wing status due to escaped anomalies or other wings. the situation is beyond the control and competence of our corporation Seventh warning: however, you still won’t hear it, since you’ll be dead. this is the end. anomalies have driven humanity into irreversible ruins. there is no more hope in this apocalypse. this level of anxiety was prepared for the ABSOLUTE worst case scenario imaginable

Funnily enough, First Warning is, of course, a Warning, the game warning you to do something about something going wrong/you are doing wrong. And if you manage to fix it quickly enough, it tends to end before the second part of it (when it becomes a banger), so its just being an annoying siren that is doing it's job lol Edit: Yup, the progress bar disappearing in Third Warning is totally on purpose and can be interpreted as a mirroring of sorts, because Third Warning tends to appear when multiple of the departments you are managing are recked, with electrical system failures and all. So at least that's kind of how I viewed it, just symbolizing that the run is in ruins and you will have to restart the day to restore it. I think I could have summarized my thoughts better but wasn't able right now so, bleh, good enough. Anyways, bangers.

once you hear the choir, just stay and listen to it, contemplate your life choices

There is some kind of an algorithm that makes these themes occur in fitting situations. Like, second warning won't play unless shit really hit the fan and you need to quickly save the day and it's just perfect.

Third warning is amazing, to get it to play in-game you’ve got to mess up BAD, like, so bad that there’s usually no point in continuing after such a massive mistake, while it’s usually a mountain of neglect and mistakes what makes third warning play, there’s some abnormalities capable of instantly triggering the third warning, a single mistake mistake with these and you’re absolutely screwed.

1st warning: hey this isnt that bad you can handle this 2nd warning FUCKFUCKFUCKSHITFUCKSHITFUCK 3rd warning:..... but that run was going so well

You should also try listening to the Library Of Ruina floor battle themes, each of them is unique and there are 10 of them in total, it would be interesting to see you react to them.

It's so funny that the first part of the first warrnings is the chillest in-game

Trumpet 1: Proceed carfully and thoughtfully and the situation will be under control. Trumpet 2: Decisive action is needed immediately in order to prevent further casualties. Trumpet 3: The situation is now out of your control. There is nothing more that can be done.

Speaking of emotional I'd recommend checking out Dongbaek's boss theme from Limbus Company ^_^

First trumpet: average day in the facility Second trumpet: oh shit Third trumpet: it was a good run...

The shift in the middle of first warning is likely the point where the problem has been identified and you’ve assembled your team to engage, so I can’t help but feel like that section is designed for the “kill it with fire” section of a suppression Also ahahahaha the instant 2nd warning starts my brain is right back into the core suppressions. It feels like tensing every muscle in my arms and face

First Trumpet: Oops! That wasn’t supposed to happen! Control team, go suppress it! Second Trumpet: Shit- Everyone on deck! We got a situation, Code Red! Third Trumpet: **Everyone’s Fucking Dead, there’s an Angel/Antichrist roaming the facility-**

6:30 your reaction to the sudden change is so relatable, when I had to deal with it for the first time I was at first uncomfortable but when the sudden change came I just jumped into anxiety

First trumpet is climbing anxiety, second trumpet is the climax, and third trumpet is the aftermath

1st warning feels like "hey, there's some danger" 2nd feels like "man, you should pump up your efforts, you're under some great danger!!" and 3rd just "It is the end"

Library of Ruina features remixes of all 3 warnings, so there is something for you to listen to next.

Goddammit, this is making me want to go back and try to beat LC again. I bounced off SUPER HARD in the late-game after ENTIRELY TOO MUCH rng bullshit and resetting, but that music... so compelling, and immediately calls to mind all the incredible mystery and intrigue of that damned pit of horror and duty. Shit, I'm gonna have to, aren't I?

The way he described Warning 1 is probably perfect. The other two had their marks hit, but not in the "this is exactly how I feel about this warning song" level of agreement. Also, the lines of "We got the choir of the damned" and "You didn't do it, here we are, Time To Die." Kinda sum up 3rd warning on both sides of what's usually happening during a 3rd trumpet.

I clicked this video without any high expectations, but im very pleasantly surprised.

Third warning a.k.a the don’t touch me theme song

Love all the project moon OST reviews you did! If you ever do more lobotomy corp OST reviews, I would suggest “Gloomy Cathedral” as it is a pretty good theme for one of the characters (Sadly, there is no official video of it but if that’s not problem then that would be great!!)

The goal the game to contain and manage monsters and employee's. The first warning is when one the monsters breaks out might want deal with that. The second warning when multiple escape contain the monsters and fight for your LIFE. The third and final is your facility is lost no living employees left its basically the you lose music. After 3rd warning it's good idea to restart the game or day and start over.

13:55 I've always seen this part of third trumpet as triumphant, but it's not your triumph.

Alriiight! Now its time for the Ruina Battle themes! ...That aren't Mili, of course. Trust me, you will NOT regret listening to those as well.

1. It's over (for the clerks) 2. Oh no 3. It's actually over

first warning: this is fine second warning: oh what the fuck third warning: *this is fine*

All Core Suppressions themes, few themes from in between days cutscenes and day 50 themes, if you want to check more LobCorp OST ( day 50 music should listened last after all others)

12:34 Drake when he see's any Female Freshmen

1. Stay calm. You’re still in control. 2. You’ve lost control. Fight like hell. 3. All is lost.

13:38 Yea, the same kinda uplift you get when the entire building flares up as it's burning down, and that's canon

Pro tip, if your playing the game and you hear that 3rd Warning, you are already dead.

You should also do library of ruinas first, second, and third warnings there are a couple similarities while also having a nice change of pace

for those who have never played lobotomy corp and really wanna know what all of the warnings mean basically First Warning is just a minor threat to the facility and doesn't have that much of an effect on anything Second Warning is when things start to become real and you actually need to start paying attention to what you do Third Warning gg

And it was all from just a group of college students that wanted to make a game together
