Trivia

 * The Crowbar is a reference to the Half Life series created by Valve, in which the main character Gordon Freeman uses a crowbar similar to the one depicted as his melee weapon.
 * The text from the first game's logbook entry, "until the 3rd edition arrives," as well as this game's updated entry adding that "the second edition" is "getting a little old" are digs at the long production time of the Half-Life series and Valve's seeming dislike of the number 3, going as far as making Half-Life 1, 2 and Half-Life 2: Episodes 1 and 2. Because of this, Half-Life 3 has become a well-known point of humor on the internet joking about how it will never come out.
