A nod to Fallout can be found within the game. Outside the city of Tulla is a person named Albert, who had been sent out on a quest to retrieve a water gem for Tulla. When the play finds them, Albert has been cast out of the city, due to the influence of the outside world. This is also how the story of Fallout goes and both Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, the main developers of the original Fallout series, also worked on Arcanum..
