* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: The game's {{Twitter}} account made a post that described the game as playing as "a [[GoshDangitToHeck heckin]] cute girl who gets put in messed up situations". [[https://imgur.com/a/6l8x5 One sarcastic reply]] then stated that the game would be like a {{Hentai}} {{Doujin}}, [[{{Squick}} much to the PR's great dismay]], [[MemeticMutation and the amusement of everyone else]]. And yes, the following response bellow ''does'' contain that many exclamation marks.

** There was a character called "The Moonjumper", who was part of the beta, and the one in a power struggle between himself and Queen Vanessa for Subcon, along with the implication [[spoiler:he's her long dead lover]]. He was cut sometime during development, with his {{Leitmotif}} going to the Badge Seller, and role and backstory going to the Snatcher. WordOfGod has confirmed he's not likely to be refitted for the extra Acts.

* CelebrityVoiceActor: A few characters are voiced by high-profile Youtube celebrities (such as WebVideo/{{Yungtown}} and WebVideo/JonTron).

** In the second beta in Subcon Forest, Queen Vanessa's Manor had a large attic section involving chasing a ghost shaped like hat kid who stole the key to the final room. In the final game this entire segment is nowhere to be seen and the game (very sloppily) warps you to the last room after getting the second key. Presumably if they had left it in it would have made it run a bit too close to a MarathonLevel, as just getting to the manor is decently lengthy with the free roam. Another possibility is that the "Ghost" is The Snatcher, who is ([[DealWithTheDevil sorta]]) allied to you, so it wouldn't make sense for him to interfere with you.

** Chapter 1 was originally named "Down With the Mafia", while the final game calls it Mafia Town. The original name is instead used for Act 4 of that chapter.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As noted above, the developers wanted a Wii U version to happen, but issues with licensing the Unreal engine and the Wii U's time having come to a close by the time of the game's release, and it's safe to say any chance of the game hitting that console died before it even presented itself.

* ActorAlluion: In the final game, Jon Jafari voices an owl security guard at Dead Bird Studio. [[WebVideo/JonTron He's always had a]] [[LetsPlay/GameGrumps strong association with birds]].

* FlipFlopOfGod: On if the game will hit the UsefulNotes/WiiU or not. The developers certainly really want the game to hit the platform, since the game itself pays homage to UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} era platformers, along with a visual style reminiscent of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' (also helps that, according to many indie developers, the Wii U is very "indie friendly"). The biggest issue for the devs is obtaining proper certification for a version of Unreal Engine (the engine that powers the game) that's approved for consoles. The Wii U has no trouble running games that utilize Unreal Engine (already having a few itself, including some indie titles), but as of now Nintendo themselves only gives certified indie developers the Unity engine at no extra cost. Getting proper certification for Unreal Engine on consoles will require Gears for Breakfast to pay Epic Games, the makers of the Unreal Engine, a decent sum, and for an indie upstart this could take some time (at worst simply resulting in the Wii U getting the game later then PC). With the Wii U's time having passed as of 2017 and Nintendo having moved on to the Switch, a console capable of running Unreal Engine 4 with little trouble, the possibility of the game hitting a Nintendo platform may have risen a bit more, especially after porting company Virtual Programming accidentally included the game on their list of upcoming projects, listing the Switch as a planned platform.
