==Trivia==
*The game was titled after the contest's theme "Alone" and was meant to be pronounced as "nwola", which is how you say the word Alone backwards. Such title was chosen to reflect the game's story where the protagonist comes back to the place they had escaped from.
*The story of the prototype was inspired by Hannibal novels by Thomas Harris and their adaptations, mainly The Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon. The killer would have been similar to Tooth Fairy, Norman Bates, and Buffalo Bill.https://twitter.com/TheDomaginarium/status/1170034193272905728(archive) 
*The drawing inside the killer's house is a recreation of The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun painting that was predominantly featured in Red Dragon.
