* DevelopmentHell: ''Pedestal'' is either this or an ExtremelyLengthyCreation; the game was announced in 2014 (''The Sandman'' included a preview) and Uri's website lists it as being in development, but as of 2021 there's still no word on when it will be released. Uri released two more games in ''The Strange Men'' series after 2014 and then released updated remakes of her completed games between 2018 and 2020, so it may be she prioritized these games over ''Pedestal''.
