- All-Star Cast: It's rather astonishing how many A-list actors this FMV game managed to attract. Christopher Walken, Burgess Meredith, Karen Allen, and John Rhys-Davies all get top billing. Paul Giamatti is also in this, but this was back when he was an unknown NYC actor.
- Fake Brit: The fake Cockney accents from Falconetti's recording of their last session in Whitechapel are particularly painful. Best shown in the mangled pronounciation of "Spitalfields" (Spit-al-fields) as Spy-del-fields.
- Money, Dear Boy: The most probable motivation behind the actors in this game. Particularly sad in Burgess Meredith's case, since this was his last role before he died.
- Multi-Disc Work: It has six discs, each one having a screenshot that's also used on the back cover.
- Playing Their Own Twin: Burgess Meredith pulls double duty playing twin brothers.
- Reality Subtext: Covington Wofford looks to be in a very fragile state of mind thanks to the death of his twin brother Hamilton, and Quinlan has to occasionally guide him through the conversation to keep him from getting confused. At the time of production, Burgess Meredith was actually suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and in other productions from around this time (like Grumpier Old Men), he needed to be coached through his scenes.
