Bonus Challenge Placeholders#

Bonus challenges 12-20 were not finished at the time the demo was made, so some of the award descriptions contain placeholder dialogue.

Events#

Find the Key Messages#

Crivens' description of challenges where Cooper is required to find a key originally lacked the mention of looking inside of (breaking) Rare items for the key.

Don't Get Hit Event Messages#

Crivens' description of challenges where Cooper can't get hit later got altered to add a reference to the new icon. The second half of the intro's explanation text was also changed to be less grim.

No Damage Event Messages#

Crivens' description of challenges where Cooper can't damage the room was later altered to specify that the player also couldn't damage any of the contents found in the room.

Bonus Challenges#

First Challenge Unlock Message#

Crivens' message for when you unlock your first bonus challenge would later get extended by a full page, reminding the player that you get an extra Bonus Challenge everytime you collect 5 books.

Chapter 1#

Main Hall Weapons Intro#

The dialogue for Crivens teaching the player about weapons is significantly briefer, with no compliment about Cooper's unarmed battling.

Main Hall Crivens Introduction#

The dialogue for this is missing two pages where Crivens informs you on how to drop your weapon as well as your map of Ghoulhaven Hall, making this dialogue significantly shorter.

Tampered Health Intro#

The dialogue for Baron von Ghoul when he's taunting you about tampering with the energy gauge originally lacked the mention that the energy would be changed for every room.

Scare Intro#

The dialogue for Crivens explaining Scares lacked that the player would take double damage when scared.

Cinema Secret Passageway Hint#

The dialogue for Crivens hinting towards the secret passageway doesn't try to direct the player towards any less-obvious passageways.

Chapter 2#

Walled Garden - Dungweed Theft#

The fair Baron von Ghoul refers to when you steal the dungweed is significantly different, being the "Neede-In-The-Nuts Spring Fair of '99".

Kitchen - Antidote Created#

Ma Soupswill had a slightly different way of speaking in the demo. She also had some of her lines changed when referring to Amber.

Chapter 3#

Start of Chapter 3 Cutscene#

Amber's dialogue refers to Mr. Ribs as "Boner" in the demo, as well as saying her and Mr. Ribs would go and get food from Ma Soupswill for the prisoners instead of finding a phone to call for help.

Krackpot Defeated Cutscene#

Krackpot's dialogue had "drawing board" spelled as just "drawing" and an extra explaination point is missing from "methinks!"
