* PlayingCardMotifs: In the game's promotional images, as seen above, each of the four card suits is associated with one of the letter-writers (the spade has a forced smile for Mr Smiley, the club has a Creator/SalvadoreDali style mustache which presumably represents Salvadore, the heart bears a striking resemblance to the poster Charlotte sends, and the diamond has a HighClassGlass to represent the wealth-obessed Dr Money).

* MeaningfulName: Everyone. Aside from the obvious Dr. Money and Mr. Smiley, Salvatore means "saviour", with a strong reference to Jesus; [[spoiler: Salvadore dies to free you]]. Charlotte is the only character explicitly identified as female, and her name basically means "woman".
** The name Charlotte also means "free." This might be intended as ironic, as she locked herself up in her shop to keep from contracting the virus, or it could possibly reference [[spoiler: her suicide, finding freedom in death.]]

** What rubs extra salt into it is when you leave the cell and consequentially the building. Charlotte's store is right in front of your door. [[spoiler: She was still alive when Salvadore was searching the lobby for a way to reach you.
