so i was reading through the comments about this game and i noticed the listed palindromes. aibohphobia being one that caught my attention. now i don't know if this has already been noticed but i read this: "From Ancient Greek παλίνδρομος(palíndromos, “running back again”), from πάλιν (pálin, “back, again, back again”)." it was also said most of the games are following the theme of self-hatred, the inevitability of death and the pointlessness of existence. what if this palindrome is following the ancient greek definition rather than the english? as in the character or creator doesn't want a "run back of life" or maybe a relapse of depression or failure to die altogether? just a thought. would love to know if someone can prove if disprove my theory.
