Easter Eggs in the Angel of Darkness

The Angel of Darkness just celebrated its 13th birthday and we continue uncovering its secrets.

Today we analyzed some mise-en-scene objects in TRAOD and found out a few interesting details.

We’ve contacted a number of Core’s representatives and confirmed some of these:

EUROPE 2

The first location of the game is infested with “Europe 2” posters. “Europe 2” was a French network of radio stations; it was renamed in 2008 and now known as “Virgin Radio France”.

EXTRA

We’ve found a few magazines and VHS covers.

This magazine’s cover  looks like an image of Indiana Jones/ Rick Dangerous.

This VHS cover seems to be an image of Axel’s Magic Hammer. We have not confirmed these just yet, they might be just random textures 🙂

Some of the Core Design team encoded the names of their family members in the main menu of the Angel of Darkness (PC Version), including initials and full names.
