==Trivia==
* Both blackout sequences ("Underwater" and "Swimming Again") and the removed chapter where Shaun is taken to school ("Wake Up") still exist in the game files and are playable, albeit unpolished. It is possible to load them on the PS3 release of the game using a scripting trick.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnUL1FpvYaQ On the remastered releases, the full chapters are inaccessible when using the same method, but the water physics for both blackout scenes can still be loaded.
* "Wake Up" would have taken place between "Sleazy Place" and "Crime Scene," according to a list of the chapter designations.
* Two models of Ethan intended for use in the blackout sequences still exist in the game files and can be viewed with a hex viewer program. The model files are labeled HR_EMA_UNDERWATER and HR_EMA_UNDERWATER_INT.
