Lomando.com: Difference between revisions

This website starts off being normal, but when the player (now plays as the Visitor (訪問者 hōmonsha, lit. "visit person") clicks the [[Mimi]] image with the site's logo (as seen in the infobox), the site then warns the user that since it's scary, it's not recommended for those people who suffer from heart problems and seizures when clicking the image below, they will be redirected to the same site, but now it has a door. The player can click on it and they will meet three cursed dolls or Dai Kamuro (Ookamuro) staring at the viewer accompanied by an eerie ambiance playing in the background. Five clickable white circles (or four mirrors) are placed in the bottom-left corner. When the player clicks on the fifth, Yukie will pop up and crawl towards the camera along with a scream/moan.

This site strangely contains a story, and when the player goes deeper into it, the player will fight the final boss the Pieyama God, and finally complete the "game". There are a lot of puzzles, mazes, and different screamers on the website, most are <b>totally</b> unexpected. The game story is basically about heavy themes like paranoia, suicidal thoughts, and depression. It can be listed as "Utsu ge" (Utsu ge means "depressing game". The purpose of these types of games is to depress the player) or just as a typical horror game. Even if the site has lots of screamers, it can also be considered a (horror) puzzle game since almost every part of the site has a puzzle or is part of one.

On the famous Japanese video-sharing website Niconico, Fancy Island/Lomando became an internet meme and is frequently used as a source in MAD videos (otoMAD/MAD videos are the Japanese YTPMV), there are lots of fanart on Pixiv too.

The game also contains hints that reveal a complex and fascinating backstory that took place before the events of the game. The story of Lomando.com likely originated in 2011, with Chaos.html containing a swirling newspaper that details events before the game. The backstory begins with Yukihito, the creator of Fancy Island, an amusement park with a mascot character named Mimi. Yukihito wrote in two diaries, "The Manager's Journal" and "The Theory of Wanting to Die" which revealed his spiral into depression and suicidal thoughts. In August 2009, Fancy Island opened but was soon hit by a contagious virus outbreak, forcing it to close. Guilt-ridden and remorseful, Yukihito retreated from public life and continued writing in his diary about his nightmares and suicidal thoughts. Yukihito died under mysterious circumstances on April 4th, 2010. Some of his diary entries were added after his death, with one revealing that he had contemplated suicide. After the closure of the park due to the virus outbreak, the abandoned amusement park was taken over by various hostile ghosts, including Yukihito's soul. Pieyama God claimed the park and tried to kill anyone who entered, while many other ghosts either tried to kill or scare visitors. Only a few were friendly. The exterior of the park retained its friendly decorations to lure people in, while the interior was transformed into a bloodier haunted house aesthetic. During this time, a ghost woman named [[Lomando.com/Ellis|Eris]] possessed a former employee of the park, a white cat named Nekoshow, and turned it into a demonized version called Nekomata.

The haunted amusement park drew the attention of a researcher investigating paranormal activity and the missing park visitors. The researcher vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a recorder. While exploring the park, the researcher discovered a room with a cryptic passcode written on the wall, which they read out loud before their recording abruptly ended. Later, the player enters the amusement park, fighting off hostile ghosts and eventually freeing Nekoshow from the possession of the malevolent spirit, Eris.

As mentioned earlier, before clicking on [[Mimi]]'s photo, the site seems normal, even kind of cute. In addition, the site also has a panel just to introduce the "characters" from the game. Its design can change during New Year and Christmas, and the player can get a special event on the same day.

However, while it may seem harmless from the start, there are some easter eggs on it. Those will be listed below.

* If the player presses either the 'Next' or 'Return' button too many times on the character panel, Gallery Master will appear: The character description is replaced with only "あああああああああああああああああああああああ" and the panel will turn black. Also, instead of a character picture, there will be an eye on her face staring at the viewer along with a loud laugh, which leads to main.html.

* <b>CHRISTMAS EVENT ONLY</b>: During Christmas, if the player clicks on the Santa Claus picture in the above-left corner the player will be redirected to xmaschallenge.html and then Santa Claus pops up telling the player to choose the three presents If the player picks the wrong presents Santa Claus will become distorted. After this, a compilation of screamers will pop up while the screams are singing Jingle Bells. And the player will be redirected to main.html.

**In xmaschallenge.html, It shows Santa Claus on a desk with three presents that can contain a total of five prizes that Santa will describe and show the viewer; a full list of the prizes can be found here. Sometimes, when the user clicks one of the presents, Santa Claus will become distorted and a Rush event will occur that remixes the same song with screamers. After this, the player will be redirected to main.html.

=== あｓぢｌんｈｃｋｊｄさ (Elizabeth) ===

* <b>Akeru (First mask)</b>: A page of random text with apparently no meaning. There's a loop of a doll called Nihonningyou peeking around a "corner" in the background. Two words of the text are highlighted in a darker red, which will redirect the player to another page. The first link is labeled "Picture matching door" (絵合わせ扉, lit. <i>Eawase tobira</i>), which is just a part of the game's puzzle. There is a door sporting a box with a shattered window. Beside it, is a panel of images of dolls, each with a different color. The second link is called "ｲchi兎、ﾆﾎﾈ。松ﾑ煤", with no meaning at all. At this link, there's a video called 壱ノ其トンヒノ為ム進 and it has a minor screamer. The video shows Borei running toward the viewer holding a sign that says "進む為の ヒントその壱 人形の間の 先のページを くまなく 調べて みてね 。 クリック できるポイントが あるかも…" ("Hints to help you move forward, Part 1: Look at the pages beyond the doll room. There may be a spot you can click on...").

* <b>Konkon (Second mask)</b>: Konkon-san is shown constantly banging at high speed on the player's screen, mouth open but with no scream. "Konkon" (コンコン) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for "bang-bang", "tap-tap" or "knock-knock".

* <b>Utsuru (Third mask)</b>: A camera watching a room, and the time of the recording is the same as the clock on the player's computer (if the user changes it). However, at midnight, a shaking face called Nui Kuchi appears.

* <b>Ydad (Fourth mask)</b>: There are two doors and infinite babies being flipped while changing colors from blue, yellow, red, and green at a seizure-inducing rate. Clicking on the middle door will not lead to a new page, instead of showing a 'screamer' of a laughing baby.

**<b>Aguodiernihs (Left door)</b>: Backwards for "shinreidouga", meaning "ghost video". Clicking on this will take the player to a page with a black background and a pseudo-YouTube video that is 20 seconds, titled "カメラが捉えた 恐怖の心霊映像" (lit. "Fear psychic images captured by the camera"). Once played, the video starts with an empty interior of a passenger train or a bus. J-ker briefly appears and disappears, walking through the screen. Static appears for a brief moment, then the J-ker appears walking out of the YouTube video and laughing boisterously (a commonly used sound effect on this website), thus leading the player back to the main page.

** <b>Shoko (Right door)</b>: A room with two bookshelves and a door. At the center, the plate that reads "GALLERY" is shown. Clicking on the door is taken as an attempt to walk to it; the player moves forward, but triggers a trapdoor, falling into a pit of spikes.

* <b>Oiaaeptoiympe (Fifth mask)</b>: A door with a five-digit code lock, in which the units are arrows facing in four directions. If the player does too many attempts, a Healthy version of the character "Dorodoro" (not yet in the gallery) fills the screen along with a loud laugh. It isn't part of the game's puzzle and it's just a red herring. The correct code for this is "→←↓↓↑". Entering this code will make the door open and will lead to pieyama.html.

 

The page has a white circle placed in the middle, with the same texture as the dots in main.html. Clicking on it will display a fake browser window, whose only function is the X in the corner. Clicking on the X will close the window and produce a new one. This only works five times, as clicking the last one will result in Pieyama Pie-Man popping up with a loud scream and challenging the user to a fight.

 

=== Pieyama ===

The fight will begin with Pieyama using 3 skills (rock, paper, scissors) and you also have the same skill just like him. In the case of a draw, a pair of eyes called Aikokun will appear and deal damage to both Pieyama and the player.

* <b>Curse (Sixth mask)</b>: Purapura appears accompanied by the same tone as the black screen of death with text at the very end of Japanese VHS tapes with text upside-down that reads '''"NOTICE: This voice signal is a signal especially made for quality control. (It is not abnormal)"''' '''(お知らせ: この音声信号は品箕理用の信号であります。(異常ではありません))''' If the player clicks on her forty-five times, she will become more distorted and the player will be redirected to a screamer. A black page with a text about suicide appears and when it finishes, lots of Windows popups appear reading '''"If you want to be saved, then die..."''' ('''助かりたいなら死ね・・・''') repeatedly, and then Borei appears screaming while she brings her hands to the screen. The text before the screamer appears reads as follows:

 

<tabber>English=

If everyday I could compensate my 100% depression into 1% happiness...<br>

I want to end in a few seconds of pain<br>

 

=== ｃｓづあぽい。ゎおいぐｖ(Chaos) ===

* <b>eye (Mitsumeru-me)</b>: A red-colored text appears that reads: '''<font color="red">"† Voes ne roeiz † Hone kousen de veiuw oss, Yea joen ve reiso … Kazenu oudesu je teo. Lunio sa bietex … Yovari sare omgass heliz de deaoth ! … Sia orev "Oude hyunn syou de quesev je lunedix !" Obenu ouss re teven. Oupos soi raen 20% vasaiz… Vois ord je viex kogea delatte ou jute roela…"</font>''', the text is made up of several different languages and has no meaning. On the left and the right, there are two Betties, and below the text, there's a red variation of Mitsumeru-me blinking rapidly. Clicking on it will redirect the player to a page called "nyanyanyanyahn.html" with a fake YouTube video. Clicking on the video's play button will result in Kuroageha flying toward the camera and breaking the screen. If the player clicks on the broken screen, it will redirect the player to another page with another video with a puzzle. The player must unscramble the ten hiragana characters to proceed. The correct answer is "あなたのうしろにいる" (lit. ''It's behind you'') in the Japanese version. In the English version, several cards are shown very quickly and the player must only enter the numbers of the red cards. It is a part of the game's puzzle and is not a red herring. After putting in the correct answer, the player can enter a door, but it will have a screamer first and then another door appears.

* <b>9gu0omn0obyea (Shinzō)</b>: A black corridor with a black door at the end. If the player clicks on the door, Nata Onna attacks the player with a Nata and kills them. The player will be later redirected again to the website. Inserting a code ("DBDA") and pressing a red button hidden on the page can kill Nata Onna with her spike machine and allow the player to proceed.

=== ｊかｈｆしおうお。あｓｄ (Heven) ===

=== ｄヴぃおｋｈｊｃｄｓｌｋふぇ (Eden) ===

This page is similar to heven.html except the background is black, and the door can be clicked on. Taking too long will also result in Elusive appearing the same way, sending the player back to the main page. Different from the "Heven" page, the player can cheat on it. In the new version of Eden, there are two doors. One will lead the user to a frustrating stick maze (similar to one of [[Steady Hand|those]] [[The Maze|games]]) and if the user cheats, Eris will pop up with a loud laugh.

=== うヴぃうｈｄぱｓ (Paradisky) ===

=== ふぁんしーあいらんどとっぷ (Topd) ===

This is a fake menu page with four different screamers. If the player does nothing or clicks on anything except for the ad at the top, they will be jumpscared by either the character  (a pale woman with black hair and blood flowing from her eyes and mouth), Konnichiwa (a woman who hangs from the top of the screen with blood running down her arms), and Yamiuchi Ji (a nude ghost man who slices the screen). A screamer featuring Kuwagata Oji-san used to exist but was deleted.  

=== Awamsohniptosour ===

<u>NOTE</u>: '''Eris is served as a distraction for the Oiaaeptoiympe page.'''<br>

This page is just simply a normal Japanese room with four sliding doors. 3 of them are locked and one is unlocked in room 4th, Kuchisake onna appears twitching and laughing very loudly. If the player doesn't kill her she will send the player to Topd (fake menu page). And if the player walks around enough, they can get the code for the Oiaaeptoiympe page. Kuchisake onna will appear at random sides laughing. In some rooms, Eris will appear with a laugh, and in the 11th room there will be Japanese words all over the doors and the room will be tinted red, and the user will be sent to Ninghyouma (doll fight).

=== Atelierdesu ===

=== Astceilsiseorrs ===

It's a maze, similar to [[The Maze]]. The player must navigate the maze to proceed, though there are two screamers in the maze that will kill them. A map of the maze is shown in the corner, though it vanishes in a few seconds. Yamiuchi Ji appears to beat the player with a growl and Eris may also appear with a loud laugh. If the player doesn't kill them they will send the user back to main.html.

=== Ykoaaomgoanri ===

=== Kaidan1 ===

A staircase leads the user to the basement. They will face two screamers, in the middle of walking down the stairs, Shinshutsukibotsu appears and tries to kill the player, shooting her. When the player faces the right side after walking downstairs, Tomato Onna appears again and tries to kill the user. But there is also Akai Sukato no Onnanoko may also appear, but the player must not shoot them or they will be sent to an endless staircase.
