Lomando.com: Difference between revisions

The game's creation is attributed to an anonymous individual known as Shisso-kanrinin (known online as (Mousoumanager, gentoo-nohito, Nohito, Yukihito (as a character in-game), and "fantasy person"). Made with the [[Adobe Flash]] plugin and incorporating sound effects and music from websites H/MIX GALLERY<ref>hmix.net</ref> and On-Jin,<ref>on-jin.com</ref> the developer drew inspiration from a website called Jigokuhen<ref>jigokuhen.com</ref> (地獄変, 'Hell Screen") and his fascination with occult and horror radio wave sites.<ref>warotopi.shime-saba.com/link.html</ref> Originally designed for Japanese speakers, the game received attention from English and international players, culminating in a full translation of the main page and [[Yukan no Shonen]]'s pages.

The backstory of the game unfolds through a series of events, rooted in Yukihito, the creator of Fancy Island, a theme park featuring [[wikipedia:Catgirl|nekomimi]] mascots Mimi, Nyami, and Yomi. The narrative primarily emerges from Yukihito's various diaries, particularly 管理人の手記 (''Kanrinin no Shuki'', "The Manager's Journal") and 死にたい理論 (''Shinitai Riron'', "The Theory of Wanting to Die") where he writes about his descent into depression and contemplation of suicide. Fancy Island finished construction on August 14, 2009, but a virus outbreak on its opening day abruptly led to its closure. While the mystery of the outbreak was not solved, he aimed to reopen the park on September 14th, 2009, but this never came to fruition. Overwhelmed by guilt for causing 17 individuals to be hospitalized, Yukihito withdrew from public life, thoroughly documenting his nightmares and dark thoughts. His mysterious death on April 4th, 2010, added eerie dimensions to his story, with some diary entries alluding to suicide.<ref>Toushinfla.html, which was eventually scrapped, suggests that the manager jumped off a building. However, his diary entries, as well as an old version of Profile.html, allude to suicide by hanging.</ref>

However, if they click on the door, it redirects to a page styled like a [[wikipedia:Google Chrome|Google Chrome]] 404 error page. Subsequently, the page transforms into an inverted version of itself, and a distressed masked woman with wide, alarmed eyes (referred to as 404'san within the game) appears, accompanied by laughter and a loud beeping sound. This prompts the player to shoot her to progress, and once the player shoots her, she vanishes from the screen, allowing access to the door which redirects to Ima3yaruk62oc.html for further progression.

The next page closely resembles Kaidan1.html. 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">(ウジの間, "maggot room")</ref> which the player can now access.

In the next room, two interactable exits can be seen, positioned on either side of the hanging body of the researcher<ref>twitter.com/fancy_island/status/1635995760696369152</ref><ref>lomando.com/aerv5ci4hhie.html (2. Cassette player)</ref> at the center of the room. The area is infested with maggots and cockroaches, crawling over the corpse and on the ground. The walls serve as a canvas for various drawings, such as a drawing resembling a [[wikipedia:Lycoris_radiata|red spider lily]],<ref>In Japan, the red spider lily, known as ''higanbana'' (彼岸花, "flower of  ''[[wikipedia:Higan|higan]]''"), is associated with death and the afterlife.</ref> Purapura, and Tomato Onna, as well as various Japanese phrases written in blood.<ref>The complete artwork on the wall is featured in the game's bonus content [[Lomando.com#Extra content page|Aerv5ci4hhi.html]].</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 肆壱弐伍伍玖,<ref>Translates to 412559. The kanji numbers used here are commonly used in formal or financial contexts, such as legal documents or financial statements.</ref> As previously hinted in 7diackii2.html, unlocks the left door, leading the player to Cfoaansctyer.html.<ref>Unscrambling the letters in Cfoaansctyer results in the phrase "Fancy Coaster."</ref>

After advancing from Maamomj3upftsk.html, the player returns to a room similar to ''Maamolqgep2sp.html'' but on 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 Twinklegallery.html, 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.

*'''Middle Door''': Selecting the middle door leads the player to a jumpscare featuring Cursed Baby and the page turns black.

*'''Right door''': On this page, a "gallery" door is seen at the end of a hallway in the line of bookcases. It makes the viewer think as if they have reached the end of the game. The door is clickable and the player can move by clicking on it. However, a trap is triggered as the floor gives way, causing the player to plummet into a spike pit.

Oiaaeptoiympe.html<ref>The unscrambled name of the page reveals "To Pieyama Pieo."</ref> features an entrance designed with a clown wearing a cape and fedora is featured. To progress, the player interacts with the left keypad and enters the correct code (→←↓↓↑). Entering an incorrect code or clicking the cape without entering the code prompts a return; clicking it five times triggers Dorodoro to appear. Upon entering the correct code, illuminated arrows and a blue top section appear, rendering the keypad unresponsive. Clicking the cape opens the entrance to Pieyama.html.

The following page features a series of Japanese-style rooms with four doors, but only the front two doors are clickable. On the floor, there's a ticket that, when clicked, reveals a code for accessing the "clown theater" pages. It also displays images of the pages Elizabeth.html and [[Lomando.com#Tokonoma.html|Tokonoma.html]], where players can access the clown theater pages Totptbpuiouiss.html or Oiaaeptoiympe.html respectively. The front doors become clickable after interacting with the clown theater ticket.

The bacteria leads to a profile of Kanrinin no Yorishiro. The profile was created on April 4th, 2010, aligning with the date of the manager's suicide. The only text in the profile is the Japanese text 詳細不明 (''shōsai fumei'', "details unknown") and the English word "unknown" set against a background featuring wriggling white hands. Upon clicking the profile picture, users are redirected to a [[GIF]]. This GIF portrays several shaking women dressed in kimonos, known as Shinitai-onna (死ニタイ女, "woman who wants to die") appearing and disappearing at random in a static background, along with repeated 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.

Clicking on the red eye redirects users to another page, Nyanyanyanyahn.html. This page resembles a fake YouTube interface with interactive buttons but appears to have no discernible effect. Attempting to play the video results in a screamer from a woman named Kuroageha who flies through the YouTube embed, leaving a hole in the video player. Clicking this hole leads to Iamonnenuohs.html, a page containing a puzzle.

In Iamonnenuohs.html, the player must decipher a code by arranging [[wikipedia:hiragana|hiragana]] characters seen in a YouTube video 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. In the English version of the page, the player must type in red numbers corresponding to the playing cards depicted on the screen. Entering an incorrect answer in either page results in a mild screamer.

[[File:Onomureiminem.png|200px|thumb|A screenshot of Onomureiminem.html. Features thirteen rotating eyes, a wall of barnacles, and center of the door.]]

Priclu.html 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, Tobiras.html. 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, Tokonoma.html. 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. All of these outcomes except Tokonoma.html are dead-end pages and require the page to be refreshed in order to proceed.

In Edeuenatseurre.html, players encounter a door surrounded by eight chests. Choosing one of the eight chests prompts a distorted ghostly woman named Psychedelic to approach the player. Selecting the incorrect chests three times in a row results in a game over. However, finding the correct chest rewards the player with the Treasure Key, allowing access through a door to Paradisky.html.

Topd.html serves as a post-mortem destination for players in the game. In contrast to the original main page, it lacks the 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, "Theory.html," and the Lomando Fanlab page.

Toushinfla.html was a page that featured an image of the creator positioned atop a tall building, overlooking a street with passing cars. Clicking on the sidewalk resulted in the creator jumping off and the page turns black. The page has been scrapped and is most likely not canon to the story.

Fanlab consisted of four web sections. The homepage provided users with game updates and references to magazines, while Kouryaku.html contained outdated game walkthroughs. Lsticker.html showcased various LINE sticker sets, and Link.html featured external links and links to the manager's X page. These sections ceased updates around September 2015 to December 2017, marking Fanlab's inactive status.

::*Upon entering 3arcsemaru.html, the player is greeted with a [[Flash]] [[animation]] featuring Mitsumeru Onna. The animation consists of her approaching the screen and subsequently displaying a close-up accompanied by a giggle. Following this, the player is automatically redirected to a page titled 1arcfancytop.html, an older version of the top page. If the player clicked on the image of Generation 1 Mimi or the promotional banner, they would be redirected to 2arcfancymain.html.

::*Clicking the door led the player to 7arcfusmanoma.html. Clicking on the left door would lead the player to the answer required to answer Oni no me's question in 4arconinoma.html while clicking on the right door leads the player to a room containing Doemon. The player would then be jumpscared by Ima Socchi.

**The ClubT store, Fancy Island Official Goods Shop (<span title="Fu ~anshi ̄ ai ran do kōshiki guzzu shoppu" class="explain">ふぁんしーあいらんど公式グッズショップ</span>) sells a variety of items including shirts, tote bags, mugs, tumbler wraps, and various phone accessories. The merchandise was officially released on June 19, 2020.<ref>twitter.com/fancy_islandrss/status/1274152073425108995</ref>
