The 'About this Game' section is a bit wild. Is it intended or a scripting error?
Intended. They like doing teasers like this and the error is in-universe.
For a little more context the in game log has entries for items, enemies, and stages. They feature a mix of writing styles like sales brochures, letters arranging the sale of the illicit item, scientific research notes from the lab that developed the item, letters from people sending the item as a gift to someone, personal journal entries of events related to/peoples' experiences with the things, and occasionally (in universe) translated text from other beings. Non-human things. Nearly all the game universe's lore comes from the log entries.
The description matches formatting of some of the more strange log entries from in-game. I'm hopeful that parts will be "translated" as more time goes on.
