Developer's Hidden Text

There are actually some leftovers from the game's early development points. There is a folder in data.dcp called "SCUKO! Скрипты сверху" (meaning "SCUKO! (either the misspelled word "boring" in Russian, misspelled swear word in Russian, or an inside joke made by developers) Scripts are above (that folder)". In that folder, there is an empty text file called "Это чтоб не путать папки" (This is so as to not confuse the folders). The developers likely forgot to delete this folder.

Unused Sound

"Нужен диск" (CD required)
It's only heard on physical copies of the game: the digital download version already has all the files the game requires, making this sound a leftover from the physical copies. Aside from that, the CD and download versions are identical.

Room 1

Unused telephone with a rotary dial. This is a leftover from The Jolly Gang's Spooky Adventure, another game published by Alawar.

Unused mouse with the green key. Another leftover from the same game.

Unused sprites of coins. Yet another leftover.

An early sprite of a dress folded up.

Unused sprite of a hairpin.

Room 2

Unused animations of slicing bread and cheese.

Unused sprite of cheese, most likely used in a test/early build.

Unused sprite of butter, most likely used in a test/early build.

Room 3

Unused	Used

Apparently in the early versions, it was necessary to wake Vasnetsov not with a radio show, but with a cartoon. The unused version was taken from the Russian dub of SpongeBob SquarePants (the "Banned in Bikini Bottom" episode).

Room 6

A very basic password input field. Again, yet another Spooky Adventure leftover.

An unused browser screenshot, apparently intended as a reference for the artists.

Room 9

Sprites of interior objects (a screw and two plug outlets), apparently intended as references for the artists.

Galina does not appear in this room.

Room 12

Unused sprites of a red dumpster with its lid closed in the first sprite and seemingly opened in the second.

No comments.
