* Therese‘s name possibly alludes to a character from ''Film/TrilogyOfTerror''. Both characters had incestuous relationships with their fathers, and more importantly, [[spoiler: both are actually one person suffering from a split personality. Additionally, a potential outcome of the Therese storyline is to have one of the personalities kill the other, which is what happens in the aforementioned film, albeit more literally.]]

This callout is particularly amusing in hindsight, as Creator/ChrisAvellone is now working as a writer for the game's upcoming 2020 sequel.
