Trivia

• Ben Esposito (the game's creator) has said that the child was not intended to have a set gender, but it can be assumed they are one of the children seen in the photograph of their room. Many assume they are male due to the boyish look of their bedroom.

• In the game, the protagonist appears to have a dog, but is only alluded to through the appearance of a doghouse outside and the presence of dog food in one of the eggs. It can also be noted that a doggy dish is present in the basement. When asked about the whereabouts of the dog, Waygetter refused to comment on it.
