* At the end of Chapter 5, [[spoiler:Graham saves the Kingdom of Daventry at the cost of his life via Manny's Elixir of Destruction that slowly kills him before the player control is handed over to granddaughter Gwendolyn as his heir in the epilogue. This is kind of similar to when John Marston sacrifices himself to save his family before his son Jack takes over the reins at the end of ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption''.]]

* In Chapter 4, Graham makes his attempt to stack the suitcases in the carriage like VideoGame/{{tetr|is}}ads, which is kind of similar to when Homer Simpson attempts to play the same game with the suitcases and his family members in the car in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''[='=] episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E9StrongArmsOfTheMa Strong Arms of the Ma]]".

A few extra fairy tale ideas were scrapped, but the transcripts of the characters and puzzles involved can be found in the game files (Acorn playing the part of the cloud giant and Goblins trying to be Jack). Some of the images of these cut stories can still be seen tacked onto a billboard in the game. Amaya is the Big Bad Wolf, the Feys are represented by the Gingerbread Man, and the Hobblepots are represented by the wicked witch (Hansel and Gretel).
