Unused Text#
Beta Testing#
In a file named "AllText.txt" is every piece of text used in the game, across all the supported languages. At the start of the English section is text leftover from the beta testing phase of development.
Section 1#
To start, the title of the beta version was "HELLBOY - WEB OF THE WYRD", which is different from the final release according to all official sources. It adds a hyphen and "the", implying the title was changed at some point.
The next blurb is a group of thank-you messages for playing the demo/beta. There was never a public demo or beta test, meaning only select testers were used. The phrase "TROPHY AWARDED!" is repeated, meaning there was some kind of in-game trophy rewarded for completing the beta. There was apparently 6 different beta phases, one being "secret".
