** ''The Swan Princess and the Dire Tree'': the women warriors from the Swan Kingdom aren't simply a case of {{Xenafication}}, they are ''valkyries''. Valkyries in German mythology are associated with swans, and one particular story (''Volundarkvida''), Wayland the Smith marries a valkyrie by stealing her swan feather dress.

* MissingEpisode: ''Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow'' has (ironically enough, given its name) become this; for unknown reasons it has been removed from the [=iOS=] App Store, the Epic Games Store, ''and'' Big Fish Games. It's also the only game in the series with no Steam port. All of this means that if you had not already downloaded it prior to that point, there is now no way of playing it.

*** The Cinderella who married the Frog Prince is named Agnes, and according to her parable, she fled home before she could be forced into an incestuous marriage with her father. This is likely a reference to St. Agnes, who was martyred after refusing a forced marriage. Her fairy tale is also based on Donkeyskin ([[http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0510b.html though there are many, many fairy tales in which fathers want to marry daughters]]).

* BonusMaterial: All the games have some, but ''Queen of Sands'' has a truly noteworthy addition. Upon completing the bonus chapter, the player receives access to a short film made by the creators... in which the opening animation of the main game is rendered in the style of a 1990s-era computer game. It's as enjoyable as you'd imagine.
