Limbus Company Is A Wild Game. You Play As A Nonbinary Amnesiac Who Got Their Head Cut Off And Responded

limbus company is a wild game. you play as a nonbinary amnesiac who got their head cut off and responded by replacing it with a flaming wall clock, whose second job is to (ineffectually, at first) be the manager of a group of people on a bus and whose first job is to revive and heal them anytime anything happens, which is all the time. your party is comprised of a dour scientist who has a habit of speaking in poetry, a mysterious white haired genius implied to be in a constant mental discord call with different versions of herself across multiple universes, an autistic woman who named her shoes after a fictional horse and turns into an ancient and powerful vampire if they're ever taken off, a swordswoman who speaks a third of her mind in acronyms and loves to murder people "artistically", an autistic frenchman built like a fridge who refuses to be a person unless ordered to, a long haired rich pretty boy who accidentally pisses people off with his sheltered behavior half the time and pretends to be dumber than he is to purposefully annoy people the other half, a british thug whose entire plot could have been solved by just spitting it out and also turned into a wolf monster for a bit, a ginger who got bored of her office job and decided to get on a boat and hunt whales about it, a russian gambler whose mental health and self image are rapidly deteriorating while she is also getting progressively worse at hiding it, a young man who is really in over his head while also being very good at killing people who also is weirdly good at translating the earlier mentioned swordswoman's acronyms, a kiss-ass former military woman who would probably kill everyone else in the party if she thought she could get away with it, and a german former-soldier who got a mutant bug arm and intense ptsd and depression. there's also the all powerful guide who tells you where to go who is legally not allowed to be too helpful and is also perpetually sick of your shit, and the strange girl who drives the bus you all ride in without a license or a lick of training. also the bus looks like a train. add onto the fact that most of the characters and their backstories are references to classic literature, and you have what is possibly the world's MOST dysfunctional dnd party.

we love this fucking game.

With how we've not been in L corp branches for the two recent Cantos (V did have us visit but we didn't find the Golden Bough until we had The Whale Shenanigans™ so I'm not counting that), do we think Canto VII will have our journey be in one?

📰

Oh yeah. Now that we’re pretty comfortably into Season 4, I thought I should bring up a small theory me and my friends played around with concerning Don and what her Deal is.

specifically, we have a sort-of-crack theory that Don was actually a Lobotomy Corporation feather before becoming a part of Limbus Company.

Now, not of the main branch, of course. But there are some oddities about her character that kind of run parallel to stuff in Lobotomy corporation aren’t there?

-the fact that her first response to Sinclair experiencing mental corruption is to beat the shit out of him— that’s standard procedure for Panicking Lobotomy Corporation agents. -The outfit she’s wearing on her mugshot is remarkably similar to the EGO suits worn in the main facility- particularly Penitence, though this is a stretch lmao

-the fact that she’s one of the few sinners to have blatantly omitted information on her record. Why her?? If it was simply that she had a high risk of mental corruption, wouldn’t that be something the incoming manager should know so they can properly deal with her?

-the way she Knows Things- maybe you can deduce it as her simply being more studious than she lets on though lmao. She definitely is, but why? That’s the puzzle.

-Her responses to the abnormalities the group fights. You may think, ‘hey wait isn’t she the most irresponsible member of the group who throws herself at abnormalities haphazardly until something sticks’

Exactly.

Don treats the abnormalities more like one would in Lobotomy Corporation- she studies them. Experiments with them. Tries to see what they react best (and worst) to. And yes, this does most often lead to her death, but that’s just how it goes for nuggets, isn’t it? Throw yourself into the meat grinder against abnormalities until you figure out the most efficient method of care. Hell, judging by the way that Main Branch Don is still alive despite testing her luck with Meat Lantern constantly, she seems to be pretty good at what she does. The only difference between the Don of today and an average branch nugget is, well… this nugget’s got more than one life to lose.

again this theory is crack lmao I just thought it would be funny to share. It’s a super duper longshot and someone’s probably thought it up before us but weegh

Holy shit we actually got Don crumbs right on the first (16) chapter holy shit holy shit

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK
