Secret Office and Kickstarter Backers

Easter Eggs

After the Newspaper Office has been closed, if you sneak back inside, you’ll be able to enter the Editor-in-Chief’s office. If you move the cat statues to match the cat paintings located in the office, you’ll unlock the way to a secret room. The secret room contains her articles and other pieces of lore, some items, and a list of “Suspected Downers” that is actually a list of all the Kickstarter backers.

Popular Culture References

Easter Eggs

Several of the trophy/achievement names reference popular culture, including:

  • Remember, Remember – This is most likely a nod to the poem about Guy Fawkes day, which begins “Remember, remember, the fifth of November,” as this involves getting all of the collectibles. The collectible masks resemble Guy Fawkes masks.
  • Resistance is Futile – The common message said by the Borg in Star Trek.
  • You Do Know Jack – This may be a play on “you don’t know jack,” a phrase used to indicate you know very little.
  • Baby You’re A Rich Man – This is the name of a song by the Beatles.
  • Gotta Catch Them All! – The Pokémon motto/tagline.
  • I Love the Smell of Chloroform in the Morning – This references a quote from the film Apocalypse Now, in which a character says, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
  • Snug as a Bug on a Drug – This is a play on the phrase “snug as a bug in a rug.”
