Notes
- Debug menu can be enabled by pressing L3
- Debug menu has more options than the final version
- PUSH, MOVIE and DEMO areas listed in the debug menu have been removed from the files
- The game is unfinished:
- Some cutscenes do not end - restarting level from debug menu helps
- Game cannot be finished without using debug menu
- The light forge puzzle is not fully scripted and cannot be completed
- The Sarafan Stronghold's second time streaming chamber cutscene can't be triggered
- Some voiceover cutescenes use audio placeholders
- The underground chamber and reaver forge murals use placeholder art
- The Sarafan Stronghold and Overworld music doesn't play
- Most cutscenes lack proper animation and camera angles, most characters use T-pose
- Janos Audron mural in Sarafan Stronghold only contains the heart-extraction part and has much simpler background
- The Ouroboros chamber is missing Sarafan brothers murals and Raziel statue
- Content not present in the final version of the game
- Between the stronghold and the pillars, there is a cutscene of Raziel encountering two vampires who acknowledge he is not one of them and flee
- Just before the pillars, the cutscene depicts the female vampire encountered earlier being impaled and decapitated by vampire hunters
- The first vampire cutscene uses the untextured male vampire model, which is not present in retail game files
- When in autoface combat mode, the crossed swords icon is shown in the upper-right corner of the screen
- Different titlescreen
- Different Font
- A cheat can be selected from the titlescreen
- Symbols file is present on disc
