Attachment In King Nnyere's office in his Fort in Lebao-Sako, there is a side table with assorted bottles of liquor, including a unique bottle that can only be found in the Fort. It is a bottle of Extra Special, 43% volume Old French Whisky bottled in Quebec and aged for 30 years, and its label features the face of its brand name "Thomas Gillet: Polack Connection". Gillet was a texture artist at Ubisoft Quebec at the time, but he is not known to have worked on Far Cry 2. The bottle of French whiskey being produced in Quebec is a nod to Ubisoft Quebec, while the name "Polack Connection" seems to both be a nod to the 1971 film "The French Connection" and possibly Gillet's heritage. It's unknown if or how the remaining bottling details relate to Gillet.

Gameplay (there is no close zoom-in on the bottle in this footage so the texture is blurry, but "Polack Connection" can be made out on it, and it's the closest look at the bottle on video available at the moment):

▲

▼
A popular belief within the Friday Night Funkin' fandom is that the game's main protagonist Boyfriend used to be in a relationship with Pico, the main protagonist of Pico's School and the opponent of Week 3. This gained so much traction that Tom Fulp (the creator of Pico's School) jokingly said it was "official Pico 2 canon". Programmer NinjaMuffin99 initially claimed this was just a joke, but later changed his mind and confirmed it was canon. The cutscene for the song "Stress" alludes to this, as Tankman mockingly refers to Pico as Boyfriend's "sexually ambiguous, angry little friend."

On April 1st, 2021, Tom Fulp updated Pico's School as an April Fools Day joke, with this version ending with Pico revealing to Cassandra that he and Boyfriend are dating and that everybody in the school accepts them. The next day, this version would be released as a separate game called Pico's School: Love Conquers All, being set in an alternate timeline. Given that the game portrayed Pico and Boyfriend's relationship in a positive light, some fans have taken this as a sign that Tom Fulp approves of the idea that they were at one point a couple.

Attachment In AI: The Somnium Files, during the chapter PSYNCIN' IN THE SUSTaiN, Aiba can interact with a wall of signatures and examine 3 specific autographs marked as "Left," "Middle," or "Right." Selecting these options give the following:

• Left - For 99 seconds, an autograph from someone named "Hongo" is shown. Aiba notes that she can't "picture the face" and a jingle plays.
• Middle - For 78 seconds, an autograph from someone named "Enoshima" is shown, featuring drawings of a black bear and a white bear. Aiba remarks that she "hopes" to find out who that is, and a second jingle plays.
• Right - For 12 seconds, an autograph from someone named "Mikimoto" is shown. Aiba describes him as "a photographer with some sort of beard like a mountain man" and a third jingle plays.

All 3 of these options are references to the games Zero Escape: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, and Kamaitachi no Yoru (renamed Banshee's Last Cry in the iOS English release). These games were all developed by Chunsoft or Spike (before the merger), and the jingles used are audio themes used in each game. These specific references are about Spoiler:the respective villains of each of those games, and doing all 3 of these options unlocks the achievement "Crazy Awful Customers."

• 999 - Spoiler:References Gentaro Hongou, nicknamed Ace, the antagonist of the First Nonary Game. He has prosopagnosia, a disorder that prevents someone from recognizing faces. The 99 seconds references the title of the game, shortened to 999.
• Danganronpa - Spoiler:References Junko Enoshima, the mastermind of the "Killing School Life" death game who controls Monokuma. She holds the title "Ultimate Despair," and her goal is to abolish "Hope." The 78 seconds references her class at Hope's Peak Academy, Class 78.
• KnY/BLC - Spoiler:References Yosuke Mikimoto (named Jonas Faberge in the iOS English release), the culprit of the murders at the skiing lodge. His disguise involves wearing a fake beard to appear as a mountaineering photographer. The 12 seconds references the 12 people staying at the skiing lodge, or perhaps the 12 potential victims that Mikimoto can kill in bad endings.

The name "Xanadu" seems to be a reference to at least one of the following:

Attachment The game contains several references to the 1990's American TV show Twin Peaks. These references include:

• A rundown hostess club called Log Lady, which references the character Margaret Lanterman, nicknamed the Log Lady by the residents of Twin Peaks.
• The Black Lodge bar, which is a reference to the mysterious Black Lodge that the characters search for near the end of Season 2 of Twin Peaks.
• A restaurant called LL Diner, which is a reference to the Railroad Diner (commonly known as the Double R Diner and labeled as the RR Diner) in the town of Twin Peaks. The restaurant in 428 swaps the R's for L's, as a nod to the Japanese language sharing the same phoneme for both letters.
• The character of Leland Palmer, introduced at the LL Diner, which is a reference to the Twin Peaks character of the same name. While wildly different characters, both of them share the same trait of Spoiler:being secret antagonists puppeteered by the main villains of the story, Alphard and BOB respectively.

In "The Indigo Disk", the second half of "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" DLC, a unique rock formation with a cliff can be found in the Savannah Biome just north of Crispin's battle arena. When you travel up to the edge of the cliff, a wild male Pyroar overlooking the Savannah will spawn in, and is a fixed spawn point for this specific Pokémon. This appears to be a reference to the 1994 animated film "The Lion King", where a kingdom of lions reside on Pride Rock (which this rock formation looks extremely similar to) and rule over the Pride Lands.
