** There are many references to classic Sierra quests, especially in episode 3. For example, you solve one of the puzzles by whistling the ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' theme, and looking at one of the items in the pawn shop triggers an amusing dialogue about ''SpaceQuest''.

* ApprovalOfGod: Roberta Williams was very positive about this game
The game is very true to the original series and features many of the storylines and characters, especially, of King’s Quest VI. I found it beautiful to play. I, too, like many other fans, would like to see how this story unfolds! ~Roberta Williams

* TheOtherDarrin: The most telling one being Graham not voiced by Josh Mandel. Which is odd considering Josh even reprised his role for all the {{Fan Remake}}s. Apparently he had a disagreement with the game developers.
** Not that this is a problem as several people (including myself, Angelwing) think that he's a great voice for Graham.
