I wonder what Tiphereth will do. In the actual core suppression, Tiphereth just caused meltdowns in places that were immune (and that already went away) and Tiphereth was just completely shut down. I guess Tiphereth could make the day extra long like her suppresson was, but what will Tiphereth do?

Real question is, will Day 50 be some sort of All Your Powers Combined BS with every single Sephirah meltdown happening at once, or something even worse?

At this point I will be disappointed if all the game can come up with is chucking all of the dickbaggery we've seen so far in a blender and calling it a day. It's defied my worst expectations over and over again, and I have little doubt it'll find a way to do that again.

Not clicking that (aren’t even marked spoilers against the rules) but I would actually expect something with the sephiroth as the anomalies aren’t really the focus of things it seems.

I mean, Day 50 is pretty obvious. We've fought every AI in the facility but one! Though it would be amusing if Angela didn't try to kill us in spite of being an AI in a video game. Maybe the Well as the final boss instead? Though how the mechanics would work in LobCorp I'm not sure. True random abno spawning like I'd hope for would probably be too difficult to code.

The "can't pass unless you answer the question based on a virtue or other concept you learned" kinda reminds me of the Abyss in Ultimate 4, where you had to answer questions about the game's religion/philosophy.

MinutePirateBug posted:I would like to read more hypotheses and rampant speculation on how this is going to end. Well, let's see. Our pieces on the playing field so far:
Looking at all this, I think that, at the least, it's safe to say that there will be only one A left by the end, since that will finish moving us from the Qliphoth to the Sephirot and all that. Also, X proving to be the best A/surpassing the other A's/whatever. Also, the endgame will probably involve Angela; she's been here with us since the beginning, but she never quite got a big moment like how the Sephirot did. Whether X finally does something for her, or there's a long-delayed reckoning (B's program did indicate that she was lying when she said that she would never betray the company/had no plans to hurt X, back on day 14), though, or both in the form of something like another core suppression, remains to be seen. And past that... Hm. Just leaving Carmen floating in that vat feels wrong after so much time trying to kiiiinda make amends with everyone else and all, but maybe the fact that I feel that way is just a sign that I'm not as much of a shithead as A is. Days 48 and 49 are definitely going to feature the Briah and Atziluth Sephirot, respectively, melting down again, and another new shard of A for each day, though. 50 is the mystery, but if something involving Angela happens it wouldn't really fit into 48 or 49 if the obvious assumption regarding what they are is correct, so Angela stuff would presumably be after them.

My assumption is that 50 involves Carmen/Angela. Theoretically A should be "whole" by the time he goes through the trials of the Sephirah, and then the last thing to confront is his biggest sin, which I also assume involves Carmen. At some point she pretty much has to show up, right? Edit: Though in this facility, day 50 should be Mizu forcing a day 1 reset so that she can keep playing with the cuties.

Day 47: Supplemental Facility X-394, Day 47, 1st Attempt Music: Red Dots   Be overwhelmed by my despair… my rage. In a minute, I've got Abnormalities to work with. ...how rude.   Hm… Well it doesn't seem particularly dangerous. Let's have the captain give things a go. She needs to do something at some point anyways.  ...Huh. I don't feel like it likes me very much.  ...The hell just happened? It lost its hair? It's not the only one, boss. Maybe have someone else give it a try. From outside the department. Right… Let's have Robin work it. She's in Records, she must have read something about this.  ...Seems like I'm bald now, too. It's not just you. Huh? All of Records is bald now. Even the clerks! Just a shine and then, bam, bald! Let me guess: Mysterious ball, half-black, with a symbol underneath. You just worked it twice? Oh, good, you know about it. Yeah. It's fine as long as you send bald agents to work with it. Just make sure not to send a third person with hair, or else things get bad. ...how bad?  You already sent someone, didn't you. ...maybe a little? Nameless one, what have you done?!   GAH! What's that light?! Bald… Bald..! They're all bald! Here too..! And here..! What the hell?! Is there hair left on anyone's head?! My god… there's no one left. No one who isn't bald… I've… let everyone down.  My hair is… It's gone. All of our hair is gone. I can't take it. I spent months figuring out just how to make it fluff the way I liked! I can't live like this! You're going to have to. That suit makes you pretty much unkillable unless something just lops your head right off. Lops it off… Attachment work! You're brilliant, Evil Kit! ...what? Free….. dom………. Oh, geez… Hey, Abel. Do you mind if we..? I shall allow it on one condition: that we never speak of this again. Sounds great to me. Hey, Talow? I'm already over this stupid day. Just do your thing and I'll do mine. Right. Got it. See everyone in twenty minutes ago. Remember: Only work You're Bald… with bald Agents! Not doing so can be disastrous. This PSA brought to you by Hair Club for Agents.

Ending A Now that we're through with day 47 let's cover its associated ending, called 'Ending A' by the game. I'll be going over each ending in turn as we beat the day associated with it. Music: Tenebris Aeterna  This version is for if we fail during the cutscene. If we had triggered a game over on the workday, this line would be different: Game Over posted:
This is the only difference between the two versions of this ending. I cannot open the door to someone who is not yet ready. You must stop here. Please turn back. We shall meet here again, once you are finally prepared.  With that sendoff, we find ourselves in front of the door.  We back away from it.  Because we're not ready to open it yet.  The screen fades to black, and we hear the sound of footsteps and a door opening, then shutting. Music: story 1  And with that, we're unceremoniously dropped off back at the title screen. Endings in Lobotomy Corporation are very forgiving, in that we haven't actually lost any progress.  See? We're right where we left off. Anyways, that's Ending A-in which we return to the daily grind until we're ready to move on with the rest of the game. The other endings are much more 'ending' than this one, but we'll get to those in a bit. TeeQueue fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Jul 10, 2021 |

My theory for end of game: your whole UI turns off as Angela disables the cognition-filter interface. Hope you have all the hotkeys memorized. Entire departments melt down in rapid succession, and every time you clear a department, fixers spawn in hallways, possible setting them off anew. Every ordeal is upgraded by one, so first one is actually Noon, and the final one is, I dunno, Pale Eclipse or something
