* AdultFear: In Las Vegas, Marina excuses herself to go do something personal away from Amber for a few hours. Amber is understandably reluctant to let her go alone in a city like Vegas where anything could happen, especially considering that they don't have cell phones. She gets very anxious when Marina was late to return to the RV and becomes afraid for her well-being. The effect is strengthened by an earlier encounter with Jumbo[[note]]A scene that was removed in later editions of the game and moved to the Extras menu[[/note]], a very creepy trucker who tried to seduce Amber and Marina.
