The internal name is "UROBUROS" (or something like that, I can't exactly remember and do not have access to my computer ATM), and it seems strange to me... Couldn't it be that the internal name had be altered ?
It would then be considered bad...
But I may be wrong, and the actual name could be that "uroburos" thing...

Internal name is "UROBOROS"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a snake or dragon swallowing its tail.

Oroborus may also refer to:

* Ouroboros (rebreather), brand of closed circuit rebreather used in scuba diving
* Ouroboros (Red Dwarf episode), episode of the sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf
* Ouroboros (weblog), community weblog devoted to research in the biology of aging
* "Ouroboros", song by The Mars Volta
* "Ouroboros", song by Gojira
* Oroborus (window manager), minimalist window manager for the X Window System
* Uroboros (album), album by Dir en grey
* Ouroboros: Seasons of Life--Women's Passages, an oratorio by Kay Gardner
* The Worm Ouroboros, fantasy novel by Eric Rücker Eddison
* Uroboros Virus, a fictional virus used in the survival-horror videogame Resident Evil 5

I'm not sure: first meaning relates to alchemy, magic, ancient knowledge, and given the game theme, it could be ok.

Thanks... I knew what Ouroboros (whatever spelling it is), but I wasn't really sure it was the true internal name (not really related to the actual name of the game)...

they used in main binary and 3 overlays — so to complex hack to be true.
