The game's story delves into heavy themes such as paranoia, suicide, and depression. It can be considered ''utsuge'' (鬱ゲー, "depressing game"), a game meant to depress the player, or as a typical horror game. Even though the site has a lot of screamers, it can also be considered a puzzle game, since almost every page of the site has a puzzle or is a part of a larger puzzle. | The game's story delves into heavy themes such as paranoia, suicide, and depression.

The game | The game 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 mascot characters Mimi, Nyami, and Yomi, who can be seen on the top page. 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 a ghost imitating 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/Eris|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 left behind a cassette tape in the park, and his hanging corpse can be seen in Ujinoma.html. 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. | The haunted amusement park drew the attention of a researcher investigating paranormal activity and the missing park visitors.
