greatest game of all time

"PAUNCH, in essence, is not a game but a lesson. A lesson that teaches us about what it is to be human, and our inherent flaws. The actual meaning of the word 'paunch' is a large stomach (like the belly of Bob, the being we play as), however it is more obviously a play-on-words of the word 'punch.'

The duality of the title is representative of what the game stands for, showing us that as humans, we have two sides to us. One being the side that we like to display to others - the one we are proud of. Our other face is the one we keep to ourselves, as it is far too twisted to be deemed acceptable. The goal of PAUNCH is to bring that second personality to light, acting as a microcosm for society and showing the true evil of mankind and its innate ability to seek out violence.

This message is clearly demonstrated in how punching is an involuntary action within the game. It is beyond our capabilities as humans to refrain from violence, how we automatically treat others around us with hostility. The second anyone comes close to us, we lash out with agression." -zeebarbeelbamboozlezebubage
