13	* At the very beginning of the game, on Semyon's computer, his browser displays an [=IIchan=] thread. (The thread in question is titled "[[Series/LazyTown Stephanie thread]]." A photo of said character is also clearly visible.)
14	* The Genda statue is a double shout-out: one part is [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion rather obvious]], the other is an infamous [=IIchan=] namefag.

17	* Alisa is based on 2ch mascot 2ch-tan.

20	* Zhenya is based on 2ch-created Mithgirl, a Main/RuleSixtyThree of Mithgol the Webmaster (a rather infamous and bizarre Russian blogger.) His altered portrait can be seen on her cabin's wall.
21
22	!!Other references:
23	* The character of Miku is styled after the Music/{{Vocaloid}} of the same name.
24	* The first time Semyon hears Lena's name he (being an otaku) mistakenly mishears it as [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry "Rena"]], complete with a menacing image of said character wielding her iconic cleaver. [[spoiler:This doubles as a {{Foreshadowing}} for the Miku route.]]
25	* The character of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_the_Elektronic Elektronik]] is named from the main character of a Soviet science fiction miniseries. His cohort [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Vasilievich:_Back_to_the_Future Shurik]]'s name similarly comes from a Soviet science fiction film.
26	* Ulyana and Semyon are watching a film heavily implied to be ''Film/TheTerminator'' (while doing "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/reaction-guys-gaijin-4koma Reaction Guys]]" poses.)
27	* The achievement for Ulyana's good ending? "[[Manga/AttackOnTitan Attack on Pedobear]]".
28	* During the card tournament, the back of each of the cards has a shot of all the characters together, similar in composition to one in ''Manga/LuckyStar''[='=]s opening theme.
29	* [[Film/TheGreenElephant Really? One story better than the other. Semyon in your house, Semyon harassing you. Why do you keep lying? That's horrible.]]
30	* Many shout outs are given as posters on the walls in cabins:
31	** Semyon's wall: {{Film/Fantomas}}

33	** Ulyana's wall: Animation/AKittenNamedWoof, VideoGame/StalinVsMartians
