Puzzles
I am starting to see things that are beyond my vision.

Early Hint

The file buds_v3\wobble_sheet.png contains an early texture for the hint to access the "Wobble" puzzle. It seems the player was required to simply wait after accessing the "Food" puzzle, rather than zooming out of the screen. It's also accompanied of a different clue; a protest picture, rather than a person holding a corn kernel.

Early Credits Graphics

--credits_sheet.png, --credits.png and --credits_2048.jpg are early versions of credits_2048h.jpg, which is the main graphic seen in the game's menu credits screen. Of these, --credits makes it explicit that it was used in a pre-release version of the game.

a game by Philipp Stollenmayer	a game by Philipp Stollenmayer this is a pre-release version for nice people I would love your feedback	The only thing in which --credits_2048.jpg differs from the final version is the object placement.

Debugging Buttons

debug_resetbtn.png and debug_unlockbtn.png are two graphics meant for a debugging function meant to, according to their filenames and appearance, reset progress and unlock everything, respectively. These images are also present in the Android release.

Placeholder

placeholder.png is a placeholder texture. It can also be found in the Android release.

Achim

achim.jpg is a picture of German actor Achim Mentzel. This video shows it being used as a placeholder texture. Other pictures of him can be found in cmplt, supertype and Bacon: The Game, while this same picture can also be found in Sticky Terms.

In the Android release of the game, this image still exists, but it's much tinier, being a measy 20x19.

Unused Audio

NOTE: All of these take in consideration the folder audio\texts.

The game's English narration files contain many earlier versions; what is said is, most of the time, completely different from their final variants. There are also two early voiceover within the French narration files.
