Trivia

  • When the player first meets the Traveling Merchant, the merchant mentions having given his shirt to a woman in need.[1] This is likely a reference to the item trading side-quest in Lenna's Inception, during one step of which Lenna trades a briefcase to a Traveling Merchant in exchange for his sweaty shirt which she later trades to a bear.
    • This implies that the Traveling Merchant is the same Traveling Merchant that appears in Lenna's Inception.

  1. "Don't let my lack of a shirt discomfort you — I traded it to a young woman who gave it to a bear a while back. Let no one tell you I ain't dedicated to the cause of distribution!" - Traveling Merchant (Cassette Beasts)
