## Trivia

* The game's logo is first designed as a concept by GJ-Lewis X, the founder of the wiki. When shown, Yames is satisfied and decided to modify the logo's design in order to fit the game's visual style. The creator later approved to use it as the game's official logo, upon the concept artist's permission.
	+ The logo's acronym design is also a metaphoric representation of the test subjects' infectious transformation stages.
	+ The creator of this logo admitted that the infected-looking letter O and B were composed out of teratomas and other gory bits.
