extracted and preserved Carmen's nervous system (and consciousness) in a tank as a source of Cogito, the deceased employees were revived as the
Sephirot, and the Seed of Light project continued. When Michelle informed the Head, the City's highest authoritative body, of their experiments, the Head sent one of their enforcers, Garion, to stop them. Garion and Head agents attacked the laboratory and released the Abnormalities, killing most of the occupants, until they were stopped by Kali, who managed to mortally wound Garion before succumbing to how own wounds. Ayin and Benjamin, who survived the attack, continued the project to carry out Carmen's vision and created Angela to fill her original role. Now known as Lobotomy Corporation, it entered its cyclical nature, with A losing his memory and becoming X, while Benjamin became the last of the Sephirot, Hokma. The game's events were part of a script A created to be the perfect scenario, which would allow the Seed of Light to "germinate" and spread its Light across the City that would "cure" humanity.

Abnormality's traits or unlock E.G.O. equipment based on the Abnormalities. Abnormalities deal damage to the employees in the process of working them when a Negative Enkephalin box is generated during the work process or by attacking while breaching. There are four types of damage: RED, which is dealt to an employee's health (HP) and kills them when it reaches zero, WHITE, which is dealt to an employee's sanity (SP), BLACK, which is split between HP and SP, and PALE, which is dealt as a percentage of the employee's maximum HP rather than a numerical value. Once an employee's SP reaches zero, they will enter a panic state, causing them to become uncontrollable.

Sephirah's missions have been completed and a prerequisite point in the game is reached, they will undergo a "Sephirah Meltdown", which must be resolved through a process known as "Core Suppression". This involves completing days with additional challenges, such as work types being randomized, healing systems disabled, reduced employees' stats, or a boss battle against one of the Sephirot. Completing each Sephirot's Core Suppression is required to reach the game's true ending.

Abnormalities to fill their daily energy quota while ensuring they do not attempt to escape. X views the Facility's operations through a monitor in their office and is assisted by his guide Angela, an advanced AI. As X unlocks and expands the Facility's departments, he meets the Sephirot, a team of executives who oversee the Facility's different departments, starting with Malkuth, the head of the Control Team. X later receives a letter from the company's CEO, A, as well as messages from an individual known as B, warning him not to trust Angela before she seemingly murders them.

differently to these work types, with preferred work types having a higher chance of generating more energy; this affects the work result, which can be
Positive, Neutral or Negative. Once the quota is met, the player can end the day and have their performance graded, which determines how many LOB points they will receive as a reward. The performance rating is influenced by how many employees survived, while a penalty is applied based on the risk classes of the Abnormalities that breached. Employees' stats will increase corresponding to the type of work they performed during the day.

Angela, tired of being used as a tool by others, refuses and she declares that she will take the Light for herself rather than let it be used for its intended purpose. After three days of shining upon the City, the Light is snuffed out and darkness falls for four days. With the power of the Light, Angela states that she will choose to live and collect information about the City and its inhabitants. She then creates a library from the remains of the
Lobotomy Corporation, setting up the events of

Corporation as a small research laboratory working on the Seed of Light, a project which aimed to cure the "disease of the mind" affecting the City's people; their goal drew other researchers and employees, including Elijah, Gabriel, Giovanni, Michelle, Enoch, Lisa, and Kali. During their research, they developed Cogito, a substance extracted from the

The Light is released from the Facility and X's body is absorbed, breaking the cycle and allowing Ayin to complete his, Benjamin, and Carmen's original goal.

If the player has achieved 100% completion and unlocked all available

As the Sephirot's Core Suppressions are completed, it is revealed that X is an amnesiac A, Lobotomy Corporation's founder and CEO, with the Facility's previous managers being incarnations of A in a repeating cycle, and that the Sephirot are employees of the Corporation whose brains were placed into
