* Caine might be pushing the game graphics harder than hardware can handle by using tricks that consoles use, Which would explain the visual glitches that pop up. Their could've been a case where humans abstracted in a adventure where Caine tried this without optimizing the level to just keep past avatars happy.

* In the "Musical" ad for the merch, Pomni can't think of improvised song lyrics and begins frantically reading off the chemical ingredients on the back of a bottle of shampoo. Bubble cheekily says "Sounds yummy!" about halfway through. This initially seems like Bubble being his usual Cloudcuckoolander self... until you remember he's, well, [[ADogNamedDog a bubble]], and since shampoo has chemicals conductive to creating and maintaining bubbles, he might well have been serious.

* In the first episode, the players kept bringing up how none of Kaufmo's jokes had been funny (to the point he sounded like an outright annoyance), and even Ragatha had a confrontation with him over an obvious pity-laugh. On top of that, Gooseworx has outright stated [[https://twitter.com/GooseworxMusic/status/1714723393885344117 no one is especially pleasant when they're about to abstract]]. This implies the very tail-end of the spiral Kaufmo was in ended in him having squabbles with just about everyone else in the Circus, right before locking himself in his room and abstracting. The PartingWordsRegret involved must be ''crushing''.

* Pomni's ImageSpot at the end of episode 2 is a repeat of her NightmareSequence from the beginning, except this time, all of the players (except Jax) are reaching down into the Cellar and saving her from falling. The omission of Jax speaks for itself, but why include Gangle if she and Pomni haven't actually gotten to know each other yet and are basically strangers? Well, in Kaufmo's funeral, it's heavily implied that Gangle is the one most deeply affected by the clown's abstraction: she has a framed pencil drawing of herself and Kaufmo spending time together that she shares with the rest of the players, she manages to smile for a bit despite wearing her tragedy mask, and she's the only one who breaks down sobbing in the middle of her eulogy. She may not know Gangle personally yet, but Pomni got to see firsthand just how much Gangle cared about Kaufmo and now has reason to believe Gangle wouldn't let Pomni meet the same fate as him.

* Out of all of the eulogies in Kaufmo's funeral, Gangle's is especially noteworthy. Like the others, we don't hear what she has to say, but we can see her holding a framed pencil drawing of herself and Kaufmo enjoying each other's company. This has a few implications, all of them tearjerkers in their own right.
** If Kaufmo drew the picture, then it was most likely a gift he made for Gangle that one of them had framed. That drawing is all she has left of him.
** If Gangle drew the picture, then she either drew it as a tribute to Kaufmo after his abstraction or she drew it prior to his abstraction. If the latter is true, the fact that it's framed suggests that it was meant to be a gift for Kaufmo, and considering how timid Gangle usually is, she most likely couldn't work up the courage necessary to let Kaufmo see what she made for him. And now he never will.
** In any case, Gangle isn't just sniffling like she usually does or even tearing up like the rest of the players; she's downright ''sobbing''. This could just be how she reacts to funerals, but regardless of who drew the picture or why it's framed, its very existence suggests that she and Kaufmo had a very close relationship.

* Gummigoo was extremely lucky that Pomni fell below the map along with him. Not only it's unknown if anyone else would think of a way out, but Pomni had the benefit of potentially being teleported back by Caine if needed, which is something that Caine likely wouldn't bother to do for an NPC, given his treatment of them. In other words, assuming Caine wouldn't just delete Candy Canyon Kingdom and its development room after the main characters come back to potentially save the location for another adventure, Gummigoo would've been stuck there all by himself forever with only his newly acquired existential crisis to keep him company.

* In the Pilot, during the ever-memetic "parasite" scene; Caine spends a second looking at his hands instead of instantly jumping to the admonishment after Bubble eats the cake. While you could chalk this up to the sudden disappearance of said cake confusing Caine, which wouldn't be too out-of-character for him, another possibility is that he was making sure his ''hands'' weren't eaten as well, which would likely result in a more "profane" descriptor instead.

* While Caine says he struggled with what to put behind the exit, we did see something behind it; Recreations of the building the computer was stored in. Since he can't directly probe players' minds, This implies one of three things; Caine had been active outside of the Circus before and put what he remembers behind it, things that Caine hasn't made take shape based on the user's memories, or Caine can see out of any cameras attached to the computer network - including one with full view of someone stumbling into a likely permanent fate - and simply doesn't see enough of issue with it to warn them.

* Why are most NPC-s moving test dummies? Caine probably wants as few unique characters as possible to lower the chances of the mess-up he's so afraid of. Characters required for the adventure like Gummigoo must be worked out, but everyone else is a literal placeholder.
