Unused Textures

Present in the files for the Aquarium levels is a placeholder graphic of the Florida Aquarium, which the developers used as a placeholder until their Texture had been finished.

The grocery level, at one point, was likely originally going to have the sweepstakes part. The sign for this can still be found however.

Demo Mode

The Entirety of Demo Mode is left over in the final game, this can be activated by setting the Demo Modes variable from False, to True, in the games .INI file.

Unused Modes

Sandbox

• According to the Devs, Sandbox would have just been the normal game, but without any way to get caught, This is completely unused in the final game, the only thing that still exists, is two icons showcasing the gamemodes.

Anti-Piracy

If you either play the game without running it through Steam or buying it, parts of the pause menu functionality won't work. Even worse, you can't exit out of the menu, with the only way for you to exit the game is by closing the application.
