*Because furniture customization is possible in Mystic Mansion, there are a number of possible outcomes for each room's final design, and each and every design and combination is considered canon. So, the post-renovated picture is merely one of the many samples of a random furniture design combination rather than any "correct" canon one.*

## Trivia

* This is the first room in the *Mystic Mansion* game to not have any visible garbage nor signs of disrepair. Instead, it is merely a white room reminiscent of a psychiatric hospital room, devoid of even windows.
* Zeus is the first character in *Mystic Mansion* to have his name revealed in the Story Tasks list.
	+ He is also the only character to not naturally be the creature he is introduced as. As he was only transformed into a teacup humanoid because of his wife.
		- He also reveals that his wife's powers are on par with his, and that it was because of a quarrel between the two that resulted to her altering his appearance.
			* As Purrcy correctly deduced beforehand, Zeus did, in fact, "do something stupid" to trigger such casualties.
			* Zeus reveals that it was because he accidentally dropped the cookie he was dipping onto his tea into the teacup that his wife found it "distasteful" and thus transported his soul into the cup in question.
	+ He also reveals he loves to "hose around" every once in a while, much to his wife's chagrin. Which also caused her to turn him temporarily into a pillow.
	+ He is one of the only characters to come from a different Fundoshi Parade game, previously being one of the Pets from *Just Kill Me 3* before somehow being transported to the *Mystic Mansion* universe.
	+ Throughout the chapter, it is revealed how abusive his wife was, getting upset over the little things in life and going as far as threatening divorce numerous times and having transformed Zeus into inanimate objects over petty squabbles.
	+ Zeus reveals that he much prefers manga and romance novels to books on Mythology.
	+ He also reveals that he wishes for his life story to be immortalized in the form of a manga.
	+ Zeus reveals that he also cannot sleep without cushions.
	+ Zeus is the first deity residing in the mansion that knows of Meowlin's scheme. Though, it is unknown if Purrcy himself knows or is simply acting oblivious.
	+ Zeus is the second deity to have a human world location included in his title.
* Purrcy claims that he knows about Greek Mythology, specifically, "all about Zeus".
	+ Zeus also claims he is one and the same as the Greek God and that he had decided to shave his beard and left the mustache.
	+ Purrcy also reveals how he has an indescribable urge to climb the curtains in Zeus's room.
	+ This chapter is the first instance in the Mystic Mansion game to hint at Purrcy's real relationship with Meowlin as the latter's mutated "offspring" by Zeus describing Purrcy as a "dreadful creature" that is "befitting of Meowlin's-" before cutting himself off.
		- This was specifically during the scene where Purrcy "jokingly" tells the Main Greek Deity how "[his] room's interior design is much more important than [his] safety" in response to Zeus's comment about the chandelier, were it to fall.
	+ Purrcy reveals he likes collecting canned tuna from all over the world.
* This chapter currently has the least amount of idle quotes between Purrcy and the Deity of the room.
	+ This is the first of many chapters wherein Meowlin has a talk with the deity of the room.
* One of the decoration options the player can place on the table is an antique tea set - ironically befitting of Zeus's current form.

### Cultural References

* Zeus's character is based on the Greek God of the same name. With the Mystic Mansion Zeus also being the God/Deity of Thunder and Lightning.
* Zeus jokingly saying he would award the player with a "Zeus Nobel" for their style of interior design is a reference to the real-life *Nobel Prize*.

### Continuity

* Purrcy's idle quotes referring to Zeus as another weird case is a reference to how he started seeing a pattern of how the mansion's residences were all "oddballs" to him a few rooms back.
* Purrcy's hatred for food crumbs getting on the furniture/bedrooms is referenced again.
* Zeus involuntarily makes the same award joke as Purrcy, about rewarding the player with a "[character name] Nobel (award)", much to Purrcy's dismay.
* This is the second chapter wherein Purrcy is accused of, and immediately denies, being a cat.
* Like Purrcy, Zeus claims he cannot sleep without cushions, another thing that Purrcy does not like having in common with him.

## Errors

* When Purrcy exclaims how Zeus's backstory to his transformation was one of the "dumbest stories he has heard in a while", his dialogue text says "This is the dumbest story I heard in a while…" while lacking the "have" before the "heard".
* One of Purrcy's idle dialogues in English had a spacing error where it was typed as "Zeusand I".
