Per TRS, Feelies is now Trivia.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Feelies}}: The physical UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch edition of the game comes with a 19-minute mini CD called ''The Sounds of Hypnospace Audio Tour'', a soundtrack sampler which is presented as an in-universe promo disc (akin to AOL's free trial discs) and contains exclusive content not found on the game's soundtrack.

It was intended as a ShoutOut and {{Woolseyism}} from the localization team -- as the original name in Mandarin was "Golden Diva". However, Jay Tholen expressed that he didn't want his game's image attached to a {{loot box|es}} system, causing the company to change the name.

* ArtifactTitle: ''Outlaw'' was originally the main focus of the game, with the web pages of individual users being accessed by catching them. As the development team shifted focus to Hypnospace itself, the game was kept in as a side project developed by Dylan Merchant, [[spoiler: and it does still play a significant role in the plot]]. This isn't obvious until [[spoiler: the Mindcrash]], though.



* LevelEditor: The game's PC release comes bundled with the same page builder and music sequencer that the developers used, allowing players to create their own custom Hypnospace sites. The tools can also be downloaded for free directly from the official website.

* LevelEditor: Standalone editors for custom in-game web pages and music exist in the game files, also downloadable from the developers' website.
* NamesTheSame: Jay Tholen was unaware until after the game's release that there's a real-life website called "FLIST". The "F" in the ''game's'' FLIST stands for "file". The "F" in the ''real'' FLIST stands for... "[[TheInternetIsForPorn fetish]]". Numerous fans pointed this out to him, to his embarrassment. The in-game version usually goes by the shortened name FLST, however.
* SerendipityWritesThePlot: The in-game tutorial having certain points re-recorded with a poorly-done voiceover came about due to real changes in the game's UI made after the professional voiceover had already been recorded. Rather than try to patch the outdated dialogue, they decided to make the replacement [[StylisticSuck even more jarring]] because it was funnier.
