- In Greek mythology, Proteus is a sea god, known for his ability to change appearance at will. Which could be refer to Digital Eclipse's Eclipse Engine.
- It's also a software tool used to design electronics, simulation, and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layout.

Something like this was stated in an interview where they talk about changing one format to another and simulation:

"We set up our Eclipse Engine, and we set up hardware simulation modules, and we convert using source elements provided by the publisher, — their original game to our format. So you have Mega Man running in our hardware module within the Eclipse Engine. The idea being, once it works in Eclipse, we forward Eclipse somewhere else, and it just works, for the most part."

Also, in before you ask "Then why the hell the game directory is called "Suzy" "

Suzy could be a reference to this enemy:

Only one who knows for sure is Frank Cifaldi (Digital Eclipse) and his team who worked on this game.

Yeah its nice and all the lore, but i want my game to be calle mmlc not proteus, and if i change the name on the folder it reinstalls o steam, also on discord it appears as playing proteus, the only way is to rename the game to mmlc and add it as a nonsteam game, lol
