* MissingEpisode:
** As revealed in thetruth.rtf, BEN (or possibly [[spoiler:The Father]]) had been messing with Jadusable's recorded game footage to remove parts he didn't want us to see. The Awakening arc finally shows the unaltered recordings, being uploaded by ''someone'', while someone else snarks in binary code in the video descriptions that it's pointless for them do so since it's too late to make a difference. It also shows that [[spoiler:BEN was removing that game footage ''for a very good reason.'']]
** Played straight with MATT.wmv (the first half of jadusable.wmv), which hasn't been uploaded since its mentioning in the [=TheTruth.rtf=].

* GenreShift: The first arcs all have a strong paranormal horror vibe to them, but the Awakening arc [[spoiler:shifts closer to Main/ScienceFiction with the reveals that the "hauntings" were due to scientific experiments with the "digitizing" of human consciousness (something that was already vaguely hinted at during the Moon Children arc).]]
