* While the dream sequence itself counts as {{Nightmare Fuel}}, the text messages are what it lands it here or more specifically, the contacts on Chloe's phone. There's a message from Max, which is as creepy as usual, one from a [[AnimalMotif raven]], which simply says 'Caw' and a few from [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Shakespeare]] of all people.

** Even better (in a clever bit of meta humour, since there's no way of knowing about the bard if you only go this route), if Durgaron survived the first episode's session, Drew will play him instead, and will be defeated by exploiting an injury which he suffered throwing said gnomish bard into the sea. Which is itself implied to be an in-universe RealitySubtext referencing an incident where Drew pushed a band kid into the swimming pool.

* If the player has Chloe play the tabletop game with Steph and Mikey, and has her get super into it, a backtalk sequence occurs where Chloe intimidates a prison guard so viciously that the prison guard dies of fear and the prisoners flee from Chloe's character once freed. [[GameMaster Steph's]] looks of absolute horror are a sight to see.

* In the Drama Club, there are several notes around the room that reference an ongoing conflict about Steph's missing pencils. As revealed by lead writer Zak Garriss during a playthrough with Eurogamer, if you head to the back of the room and look up at the ceiling in a specific spot, you can see that all of the pencils are actually stuck in the roof panels. According to Garriss, this was Hayden's way of pranking Steph.
