Lobotomy Corporation – Why the Employee Melts

How the Employee Melts

The only ways how the employee melts into a puddle is:

• An employee not on the Portrait works on the Portrait of Another World. It doesn’t matter who it is, even if its the 2nd marked employee. “If the image of a new person is placed upon the canvas, the previous will be killed.” – Method 4
• They got instakilled. Now there are a ton of Instakill effects, even tho imo, I don’t rly like Instakills. The game, as far as Ik, is very clear on telling the player if the abnormality has an instakill effect in the managerial tips. As for the mechanic that causes the Instakill, its sometimes not 100% clear, cause of the limited space or being hard to convey.
• The most common ones ppl fall for is Crumbling Armor’s, which is just cause its forgettable. 2nd Most common is equipable Tool effects, such as Notes from a Crazed Researcher, which also trigger the condition.
• If the Red or Black damage they take is higher then their HP (<- very specifically HP), which I already mentioned.
• If there is no employees in the facility (<- not the case here)

This should be all of them.

There is however, a Hidden effect where the damage delt is increased when the Portrait changes appearance, which can cause damage that wouldn’t instakill, be an instakill.
