• In the room where you rescue Angela from the Couch Daddy, the walls have this weird kind of decoration up near the ceiling. There are these holes up there, and they have some kind of peg-like mechanism going in and out of them. After you defeat the Couch Daddy, Angela reveals to James that her father raped her. It took me more than one playthrough to realize what the things at the top of the ceiling reminded me of....
• James' delusional fantasy takes shape at the moment the game begins, as he is gazing at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. In the Born From a Wish scenario, Maria, a manifestation from James' mind, comes into existence at this exact moment some distance away, and she, too, is introduced to the player as a reflection in a mirror. Expanding on this, James originally comes to town intending to commit suicide, an urge which (possibly, temporarily) is suppressed by the invention of his quest to find Mary. When Maria is introduced, she is openly contemplating suicide herself.
