About Distortion (Project Moon)

Also known as: ねじれ

Distortion is a recurring phenomena in Project Moon media, first introduced in Library Of Ruina before being expanded upon in The Distortion Detective and Limbus Company.

Distortion causes an individual to change into a distorted/monstrous version of themselves, which is usually permanent. One may even manifest E.G.O (Project Moon) or turn into an Abnormality after distorting.

If a person fails to distort, they may turn into a Peccatulum (Peccatulum Irae, etc).

In-Universe explanation

The Distortion… is a phenomenon that arises from deeply personal psychological shock¹. Someone undergoing the Distortion process will hear a warm, alluring voice² unable to be heard by anyone else from (Carmen (Project Moon)) and began communicating to be persuaded into giving in to their feeling. If the person choose to embrace these feelings, agreeing with (Carmen (Project Moon))'s discernment of their life, they give "consent" and therefore distort. A distortion can also be caused by being in proximity of a Monolith which can be forcibly interrupted by outside force³.
