Trivia

• Did you notice the batteries in the game were Energizer batteries, but in The Signal, they're a different brand called Brite-Volts.
• Several advertising ploys are used; for example, the first torch is an Energizer make, and collecting lithium batteries (the variety that Energizer only sells) allows for more refills.
