## Trivia

* According to the app, the routes of *Two Against the World* are going to have 12 chapters each.
	+ After one of the updates, it is unknown how many chapters each route will have.
* Nicky Valentino’s route ended on April 19th, 2021.
* After the latest update, fans voiced their concerns that Celia and Miguel's routes were cancelled after this story only showcased Nicky's route. Nix Hydra clarified that this wasn't the case and that their routes will still be developed. They want to give each character their own cover and spotlight.
* During a livestream on April 23rd, 2021, the developers said that we can expect Celia and Miguel's routes within "the next few months". They will also have their own titles other than "Two Against the World". They think it's more powerful for them to have their own standalone stories. Celia's story will be titled *Hollywoodland*. Miguel's story will be titled *Catch Me In Miami*.
* An older version of the app presented a different summary for both the story and the prologue.
	+ The summary of the story used to be "When your local cineplex hosts an all-night gangster movie marathon, you're thrilled to re-watch those timeless classics on the big screen. The moment you step inside the theater you are transported into your favorite eras on the silver screen. Here you're wooed by your favorite cinematic characters on the wrong side of the law. A cunning gangster from the 20's, a femme fatale from the 50's, a slick action hero from the 80's. Each of these outlaws offers you an adventure straight out of the movies, and you must decide which starring role is best for you."
	+ The prologue was named "Silver Screen Sweethearts" and this was the summary: "*THREE SCREENS. THREE ERAS. THREE GANGSTERS.* Those are the words you read on the marquee just before you walk into the movie theatre. But you didn't expect them to literally mean you get a chance to date three characters from the silver screen." In the newer version of the app, the prologue was adapted into chapter one of the story.
