The debug menu is included in the game, but requires a third-party patch to activate. Sucklead's patch only activates the debug menu on the original retail version, with the Stream distribution being protected against modifying the main executable file.

Some text associated with the debug menu and related functionality appears in practically every .bat file within the scripts folder.
