The game
Trivia items
- Development Gag: Deep Sector's layout is taken from a test level from early alpha builds of the game. Daniel's guide states that it was intended to be creepy to those who tested the game back then and recognized it.
- Hey, It's That Sound!: Those who played Unreal II: The Awakening will certainly recognize the shotgun firing sound as well as the rocket explosion and the turret deploying.
- Magnum Opus Dissonance: Iji is the most popular and well-received of Remar's freeware games. Despite this, Remar himself doesn't think too highly of it these days, being disappointed with the art, writing, and how much time he spent on it. This dissonance is one of the main reasons he kept updating it after version 1.3 (which he had said would be the final version) — improving it makes him feel less embarrassed about it being his best-known work.
- Word of God: Dan is not meant to be
an Author Avatar, despite sharing the author's name (sort of — the author normally goes by "Daniel", not "Dan").
Further trivia
- In a comment on YouTube, Remar indicated that the reason for lacking an optional bad ending was that he didn't want the game "scolding" players for how they chose to play it. A few years later, in 1.7, he would actually add two more endings, but even the massive Downer Ending of the two avoids the "scolding" he discussed by being based more around a single obviously bad decision at the last moment than around how the player reached that point.
