* ''VideoGame/CognitionAnEricaReedThriller'' was developed by the same studio as ''The Silver Lining'', but also involved Creator/JaneJensen of ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight''. Its initial episode, ''The Hangman'', released in 2012, and was originally planned to have five episodes, each named after the new killer introduced by said episode. Lackluster sales forced them to reduce it to 4, though, and also to give up on the second season after finishing the first in 2013.

The first part featured the first four zones (Green Grove through Diamond Dust), and the second part featured the remaining levels (Volcano Valley through Panic Puppet, plus the final boss).
