Lomando.com: Difference between revisions

:''<u>NOTE</u>: This section contains information about the game's current version following its update in 2019. If there are any changes or missing info, you do us a favor by [{{canonicalurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit}} <font color="#e87057">editing it</font>]''.

The first mask redirects to Akeru.html,<ref>Derived from 開ける (akeru, "to open").  </ref> the page which presents the player with several lines of mojibake. Every seven seconds, several dolls known as Nihonningyou appear in the background, seemingly opening a door that promptly closes after a brief moment. This page contains clickable links within the text, including "薙ｋ縺" located in the middle and "[[Tnihonematumusus.html|縺翫＞・・]]" in the lower right corner.

The first link ("薙ｋ縺") leads to a door puzzle where the player must decipher the correct sequence of Nihonningyou dolls, which change color upon clicking. The correct code is hinted at by a paper shown in Tsrheiansguarlelery.html, a dead-end page in Chaos.html. If the player correctly inputs the sequence, the door opens and redirects to Uozokjonasawuagukob.html.<ref>Older version of this page displayed a red screen with another [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRoTmoBRVJw YouTube video] that acted as a clue to proceed.</ref>

In Atelierdesu.html, players encounter a character named Tomato Onna (Japanese: トマト女, "tomato woman") seated in a room with a door. Players can hover their cursor on both sides of the screen, revealing white bars. These sides lead to paintings of pink flowers, and beneath them, there's a depiction of a shotgun or its outline, leaving the player with no other options. Upon returning to the main screen after inspecting either side, a close-up of Tomato Onna's face appears, accompanied by a loud scream. If the player has obtained the shotgun, they can click on Tomato Onna to shoot her, resulting in blood splattering across the room as her lifeless body falls out of view. At this point, the player can click on the door.

Ima3yaruk62oc.html guides players into a completely black room, allowing them to navigate using on-screen arrows. In the bottom left corner, there's a map displaying the maze's layout, revealing that the room itself is a maze. There is a chance that two monsters, Yamiuchi Ji or Eris, may (re)appear and attack the player. However, players can use the shotgun acquired from the previous page to defend themselves and continue advancing. At the maze's end, a door appears, redirecting players to Kaidan1.html.<ref>The HTML title of the page (階段の間) translates to "Stairs room."</ref>  

On this page, the player enters a dimly lit staircase. With each step downward, the chance arises for one of two apparitions to appear. These entities feature a woman with pale skin and long black hair, known as Elusive, or Tomato Onna from Atelierdesu.html. Approaching the player, these two can be eliminated with a simple click using the player's shotgun. Alternatively, players might come across another ghostly presence named Akai Sukato no Onnanoko. By clicking away from her, especially near the screen's edges, she can be avoided. Opting to kill her, however, leads to a different outcome, propelling the player into an endless staircase. At the end, the player progresses to <code>7diackii2.html</code>.  

The next page closely resembles <code>Kaidan1.html</code>. As players progress, they notice a cassette tape. When played, a voice begins to reveal a password required to unlock the next room's door: 'The password to unlock the next room door is 4, 1, 2-.' However, this narration is suddenly cut off by the abrupt appearance of Pieyama Pie-Man Mk-2<ref>Pieyama Pie-Man Mk-2 is one of the clown characters known as "Pieyama" featured in the game.</ref>. Moving further to the left, players encounter a tutorial that explains how to comprehend the necessary text for the upcoming room, Ujinoma.html,<ref name="ujinoma" /> which the player can now access.

In the next room, two interactable exits can be seen, positioned on either side of a hanging body<ref>The hanging corpse is revealed to be Researcher, who went missing after venturing into Fancy Island.</ref> at the center of the room. The area is infested with maggots, crawling over the corpse and on the ground. The walls serve as a canvas for various meaningless drawings and Japanese characters presumably made with blood.<ref>The complete artwork on the wall is featured in the game's bonus content <code>[[Lomando.com#Extra content page|Aerv5ci4hhi.html]]</code>.</ref> Choosing the right-hand door guides players to Ikiammadem.html. Alternatively, clicking on the left door reveals an entrance controlled by a dial mechanism, which requires a specific code for entry. Inputting the code 412559 [肆壱弐伍伍玖] (as previously hinted in ''7diackii2.html'') unlocks the left door, leading the player to <code>Cfoaansctyer.html</code>.<ref>Unscrambling Cfoaansctyer results in it reading "Fancy Coaster."</ref>

''Cfoaansctyer.html'' features an underground cave where players have the choice to ride a coaster. Opting for the coaster begins gameplay, where players use a mounted machine gun on the minecart to shoot obstacles that appear in their path. These obstacles include a floating woman's head known as Crow, an eye firing "beams" at the player, and obstacle boxes. Failing to shoot these obstacles results in a quarter-half of their health being taken, with more obstacles spawning as the player progresses. At the end, the coaster leads to Maamokeznefg.html.

In <code>Emyeeddaamday.html</code>, the page showcases the monster from the painting, revealing it to be a red creature with multiple eyes and two legs. Clicking on Eyedaddy begins a textbox where he challenges the player, saying, "If you want new power, prove your strength by defeating me." This leads to a confrontation in the form of Jan Ken Pon against the creature. Winning rewards players with a "Magic Sword" weapon, with its description displayed. Closing the description introduces "Security," a zombified head that can be eliminated by clicking with the weapon. Players can then proceed to the next page, with the left painting remaining unclickable.

In <code>Pdaieolyaam.html</code>, players find themselves in a narrow hallway. Clicking moves the player closer to a door, but just before reaching it, [[Kageboshi]] appears, causing the surroundings to become static, followed by a series of startling images. However, players who possess the [[Lomando.com#Items|Magic Sword]] can eliminate Kageboshi immediately and gain access to the door. Behind the door is a row of [[Ichimatsukos]], as suggested by the corresponding painting. In this section, players engage in a Whack-A-Mole-style minigame. They must click to eliminate moving Ichimatsukos that appear randomly. Players must eliminate 10 Ichimatsukos to progress to the next level, accessible at <code>S2st66usam7obe.html</code>.

After advancing from Maamomj3upftsk.html, the player returns to a room similar to ''Maamolqgep2sp.html'' but in a different page (Maamomj3upftsk.html). The only interactive element on this page is the door, leading to a unique boss battle against the game's main antagonist Pieyama God. Players need to defeat three floating dark purple eyes (referred to in the game as Guardi-eyes) to weaken and damage the Pieyama God. After taking down all the Guardi-eyes, the Pieyama God lowers its head, revealing a weak point that players can target precisely with the Magic Sword. Failing to defeat the Guardi-eyes quickly triggers three different attacks; one of these attacks, in particular, is the Forced warp, which requires players to rapidly click a button that appears before a timer runs out. Failing to do so redirects them to Main.html. Notably, every time players hit a Guardi-eye or the exposed weak point of the Pieyama God, they gradually build up a special skill called "SKILL." Using this skill allows players to unleash a powerful move called the "Magic Sword slash", which eliminates any remaining Guardi-eyes and causes massive damage to Pieyama God. After successfully defeating the main antagonist, a path to the game's end becomes available. By clicking on the door at the end of this path, players are taken to <code>[[Lomando.com#Twinklegallery.html|Twinklegallery.html]]</code>, where they are taken to a passcode containing a slider, two eyes that alternate colors when clicked, and numbers as Japanese characters from ''Ujinoma.html''.

A grey woman with a wide mouth (named [[Lomando.com#Minor characters|Konkon-san]])<ref> "Konkon" (コンコン) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for knocking</ref> is shown banging at high speed on the player's screen, mouth open but with no scream. Unlike the other masks, the player is not redirected to a new page.

''Utsuru.html''<ref> "Utsuru" (写る) in Japanese means "to be photographed" or "to appear in a photograph" when translated to English.</ref> displays a dimly lit room in a livestream format. A floating head named [[Lomando.com#Minor characters|Nui Kuchi]] appears in front of the camera, moving around in a circle. She is said to have appeared at midnight and vanished after 5:00 AM.<ref>The in-game clock aligns with the time on the player's device.</ref>

In Ningyounoma.html, players encounter a Whack-a-Mole-style minigame featuring a row of dolls. The goal is to click on the dolls that move from their spots, with the main objective being to eliminate at least 15 Nihonningyou within 30 seconds using the player's weapon, Nata. Failing to reach the count of 15 in time results in the minigame stopping, and one of the Nihonningyou from the middle appears from the top with the message "ザンネンデシタ…" (''zannen deshita'', "that was unfortunate") before approaching the player with a laugh.  

The bacteria leads to a profile of a pale woman named Kanrinin no Yorishiro (where the Fancy Island's owner spirit seems to live), which was created on April 4th, 2010. Interestingly, this date aligns with the day of the manager's suicide. This profile is defined by the text "Unknown," presented in both Japanese and English, set against a background featuring white hands. Upon clicking the profile picture, users are redirected to a [[GIF]]. This GIF portrays several shaking women dressed in kimonos ([[Lomando.com#Minor characters|Shinitai-onna]]), appearing and disappearing at random in a static background, along with a text that reads 死にたい (''shinitai'', "I want to die"). The bacteria may have been related to the outbreak that led to the closure of Fancy Island.

The blue [[Mitsumeru-me]] eyes lead players to Eye.html. This page features a line of red text in multiple languages, including [[wikipedia:Romanization of Japanese|Japanese romaji]] and [[wikipedia:French|French]], which remains untranslatable. Decorations on the page include two women with exposed intestines on the sides (named "Betty") and a rapidly blinking red variant of ''Mitsumeru-me'' below the text.

 

======Yukan no Shonen's hiragana puzzle======

[[File:Nyanyanyanyahn.png|thumb|right|240px|A fake [[YouTube]] embed interface as seen in ''Nyanyanyanyahn.html'']]

To progress, players must decipher a code by arranging [[wikipedia:hiragana|hiragana]] characters to form the phrase "あなたのうしろにいる" (''anata no ushiro ni iru'', "I'm behind you") and then click 'answer' in the bar below the video. This reveals a door, allowing players to continue. An English edition of this page presents a different puzzle, requiring players to type the red numbers in the order corresponding to solitaire cards on the page.

Both pages lead to the next one, Onomureiminem.html, except for completing the Hiragana character puzzle. In that case, [[Dorodoro]] appears as a woman with half of her face exposed and a bulging eye. However, this occurrence doesn't result in the player's death but provides access to another clickable door, allowing progression to the aforementioned page. Onomureiminem.html presents players with a background that may induce trypophobia, featuring what appears to be rolling eyes. Clicking on the door triggers the appearance of [[Futeki na Emi no Onna]], accompanied by a loud scream. Unless players had clicked on or 'popped' all of the eyes, revealing another hidden door behind it, which redirects them to Mituqituqne.html.

<code>Mituqituqne.html</code> introduces players to wobbling green heads of a creature called Puchipuchi. In this stage, players must click on these heads to 'pop' them. Upon doing so, the heads emit a deep cry for 'help' and reappear in their positions. Successfully popping all the heads before they reappear leads to a door redirecting players to Priclu.html.

<code>Priclu.html</code> features two prominently featured long-haired women known as Oshirois. Between these women, a small door is visible. Clicking on this door for the first time causes a head to fall, and clicking on it a second time leads to another page, <code>Tobiras.html</code>. This page features a background with rapidly changing, vivid images of various places and objects, centered around a door that redirects to a branching page, <code>Tokonoma.html</code>. Interestingly, clicking the door may lead to different outcomes, including a Purapura alert screen, an appearance of Konkon-san, or the final part of the Nikki.html diary. In this last scenario, a distorted face known as Mandoreiku abruptly appears, accompanied by a loud scream.

[[File:Tokonoma.png|thumb|200px|The Japanese bedroom as seen in Tokonoma.html.]]

Tokonoma.html is a page resembling a Japanese ''[[wikipedia:Tokonoma|tokonoma]]'' bedroom. It has unique interactions based on lighting conditions:

Ederkauizraatbsouu.html presents players with a grey-colored maze (similar to that of Steady Hand and The Maze by Jeremy Winterrowd), where they must guide their dot along a narrow path, requiring precise movement. At the end of the maze, a door is visible. Failure to reach the door results in a screamer from Elusive. Attempting to cheat by clicking the door before the maze fully loads leads to a screamer by Eris. Successfully reaching the door, however, allows players to progress to <code>Paradisky.html</code>, which is also accessible through the other door mentioned.

<code>Topd.html</code> serves as a post-mortem destination for players in the game. In contrast to the original main page, it lacks most interactable buttons and prominently features a static fake advertisement that remains still across refreshes. Any attempts at interaction beyond the advertisement prompt screamer sequences, including sudden appearances of Eris, [[Yamiuchi Ji]] crashing the screen, or [[Konnichiwa]] falling from the screen's top. These events immediately redirect players to [[Lomando.com#Main.html|Main.html]].

Interestingly, players have the option to click on the fake advertisement. Clicking it results in the image shaking and punching sound effects. Repeated clicks progressively destroy the advertisement until it completely disappears. Behind the now-vanished advertisement, players encounter a pair of eyes referred to as [[Adogosu]] peeking through the space, accompanied by unsettling laughter before being redirected to Main.html.

Al3iboujt28one.html was a bonus page accessible via the old version of Twinklegallery.html. Within this page, players find themselves in a blue room designed with a visible door named <code>LIBRARY</code>, a puzzle, and a lever. To advance in the game, players must decipher the puzzle using the code "4181" and then pull the lever, granting them passage through the mysterious door. Beyond this door lies a corridor from Shoko.html, with books on the left being clickable. Clicking these books leads to a variety of external links, including the manager's [[wikipedia:Pixiv|Pixiv]] and [[YouTube]] account, "<code>Theory.html</code>," and the [[Lomando Fanlab]] page.

Thep6.html was accessible from the older versions of Theory.html. It showcased an image of a black book titled "Shinitai Riron" accompanied by an explanatory text. Over time, this page was deemed redundant as its content largely overlapped with that of <code>Nikki.html</code>. Interestingly, the black book originally featured content from the manager's old diaries, particularly an entry from the Shinitai Riron journal. However, this content was eventually replaced with an archive. Partial excerpts from the notes were previously shared on [[X|Twitter]], with the complete note and diary reemerging on November 27, 2014, the day of the diary's removal.

*Artwork related to [[Lomando.com#Ima3yaruk62oc.html|Ujinoma.html]], featuring subtle references to various in-game characters.

*Two weapons named 父の威光  (''chichi no ikō'', "Father Majesty" ) and 突然の魔剣 feat. 目ダディ (''Totsuzen no Maken feat. Me-dadi'', "Unforeseen Magic Sword feat. Eyedaddy").

Once the player successfully defeats Nekomata, Eris emerges from him, revealing that Nekomata's true identity is Nekoshow. After Nekoshow is freed, he provides the player with the key to the previously locked door as a token of gratitude. Clicking on this door redirects the player to the page Wmnoeohkvsioetac.html, which features videos showcasing Nekoshow and other Lomando characters.

The Missing Manager's Fanlab (失踪管理人の ふぁんらば, ''Shissou Kanrinin no Fanrabo''), commonly referred to as Fanlab'','' served as a companion website that was operational from 2013 until its final update in December 2017. Initially established as a blog platform, it underwent expansion to encompass additional content, some of which eventually integrated into Lomando.com following an [[wikipedia:HTML5|HTML5]] update.  

===New Year events===

Oshowgatsu2016.html closely resembles the current version of the event. Kimono Mimi is depicted running an ''omikuji'' booth. Similar to Oshowgatsu2015.html, receiving the 大凶 fortune redirects the player to Fire.html. The background of the page features a red and white checkered pattern adorned with three ''[[wikipedia:Kadomatsu|kadomatsu]]''. Below Mimi's booth, golden ふぁんしーあいらんど text links to Main.html.

During Christmas 2014, ''Lomando.com'' introduced <code>Merryxmas.html</code>, a webpage featuring [[wikipedia:Santa Claus|''Santa Claus'']] in a snowy setting, offering a gift. When users clicked on this gift, the page transformed, shrouded in shadow with inverted colors (black and white). This triggered a screamer remix of the Christmas classic, ''[[wikipedia:Jingle Bells|Jingle Bells]]''. Following this, the phrase "Merry Christmas" appeared, quickly covered by a depiction of blood, after which the page went black and redirected to ''[[Lomando.com#Main.html|Main.html]]''. Additionally, there's <code>Xmaschallenge.html</code>, a more recent version of the aforementioned page. In this version, Santa is seated at a desk with three presents, each potentially containing one of five prizes personally described and displayed by Santa. Occasionally, clicking on one of these presents causes Santa to turn black, leading to the same Jingle Bells segment.

*<code>2arcfancymain.html</code> was a component of the now-removed "arc" series, representing an early version of [[Lomando.com#Main.html|Main.html]]. Upon entering ''2arcfancymain.html'', players encountered Mitsumeru Onna in a red background. Four black squares were displayed:

:*First Square: Redirected to <code>3arcsemaru.html</code>, featuring a jumpscare.

:*Second Square: This square led users to <code>4arconinoma.html</code>, where players encountered a question posed by the character [[Lomando.com#Minor characters|Oni no me]]. In this scenario, players were presented with the question "うしろのしょうめんだあれ?" (meaning "What's that behind you?" in English) and required to input their response into a designated question box. A correct password, "あかいにんぎょう," found in 7arcfusmanoma.html unlocked a door that redirected players to <code>8arcningyonoma.html</code>.

::*On the following page, players engage in a gameplay sequence requiring them to slice all of the Nihonningyou dolls. This gameplay serves as an earlier version of Ningyounoma.html. Upon completing this task, players are directed to the gallery page <code>9arcgallery.html</code>, marking the official ending of the older version of the game.

:*Third Square: Players were taken to <code>5arcyajirushihidari.html</code>, an early version of [[Lomando.com#Heven.html|Heven.html]].  

::*In this version of ''Heven.html'',  [[Lomando.com#Minor characters|Elusive]] did not appear, and clicking on the door triggered the appearance of a disembodied head known as [[Lomando.com#Minor characters|Namakubi no Onna]] on the screen.

:*Fourth Square: This square redirected users to <code>6arcyajirushimigi.html</code>, an early version of [[Lomando.com#Eden.html|Eden.html]].  

::*Similar to [[Lomando.com#Heven.html|Heven.html]], this version led players to the next page upon clicking the door. The next page shared similarities with [[Lomando.com#Eden.html|Paradisky.html]] with the code from the left door used as an answer to Oni no me's question in <code>4arconinoma.html</code>.

*The older version of <code>[[Lomando.com#Ydad.html (Fourth mask)|Aguodiernihs.html]]</code> featured a dark red background and a fake [[YouTube]] player interface that played a 26-second video. The video begins with a purple swirl and Japanese text before transitioning to an inverted-color preview. It then starts a countdown, revealing a disturbing scene involving a train, with the character [[J-ker]] seen walking towards it for a brief second. Upon replay, the same train scene unfolded, and after a few moments, J-ker approached the screen in a startling close-up screamer. This abrupt scare redirected users to [[Lomando.com#Topd.html|Topd.html]].<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=SrzLkRbYvuc</ref>

*<code>[[Lomando.com#Tobiras.html|Tobiras.html]]</code> included an older iteration, Tobira.html, sharing similarities with its current version. Both versions featured a door set against a background of rapidly changing Japanese imagery that could induce seizures when clicked. However, a few differences set them apart. The older version also showcased ever-changing illustrations depicting themes of suicide, various objects, medical tools, and faces, all of which were missing in the updated version. Additionally, symbols such as an eye, knife, bee, cross, and more adorned the left side of the older version, while the right side featured drawings like a moon, brain, mask, and other elements. Tobira.html served as a gateway to several pages, excluding <code>[[Lomando.com#Curse.html (Sixth mask)|Curse.html]]</code> and <code>[[Lomando.com#Tokonoma.html|Tokonoma.html]]</code>, which were merged into the newer version.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=sWIYEjO3wow</ref>
