Trivia[]

  • The password to the computer, Kafka, is obviously a reference to Franz Kafka, the Bohemian novelist whose work centered around lies, suspicions, and impossible dilemmas. This is reflective of the themes present in the related quest, Dead Ex. The name, Josef K is a reference to the protagonist in Kafka's influential work, The Trial.
