A number of Indie-game references/parodies appear throughout the game. These include:

• A few posters show an ad for "Angry Rooster Awesome Sauce" which could possibly be a reference to Angry Birds, by ##Rovio Entertainment##.
• A "Casa Crashers" poster referencing Castle Crashers, by ##The Behemoth##.
• References to FEZ, by ##Polytron Corporation##, shows up more than once; One is an Owl statue from the game found in the World of the Dead, the other is a secret message inscribed in a wall using FEZ's secret alphabet. It spells out "Be sure to drink your ovaltine", which is a message also found in FEZ.
• A "Simulador de Cabra" poster references Goat Simulator, by ##Coffee Stain Studios##.

• Minecraft, by ##Mojang##, pops up twice in the same area: World of the Living has a shop called "Mine Forever" with the iconic pixelated pick-axe. World of the Dead changes the shop for a Resturant & Bar called "The Nether Portal."
• A poster featured a "Super Lucha Force" references Super T.I.M.E. Force, by ##Capybara Games##.
