==Notes==<br />
<br />

*Debug menu has more options than the final version<br />
*PUSH, MOVIE and DEMO areas listed in the debug menu have been removed from the files<br />
*The game is unfinished:<br />
**Some cutscenes do not end - restarting level from debug menu helps<br />
**Game cannot be finished without using debug menu<br />
***The light forge puzzle is not fully scripted and cannot be completed<br />
***The Sarafan Stronghold's second time streaming chamber cutscene can't be triggered<br />
**Some voiceover cutescenes use audio placeholders<br />
**The underground chamber and reaver forge murals use placeholder art<br />
**The Sarafan Stronghold and Overworld music doesn't play<br />
**Most cutscenes lack proper animation and camera angles, most characters use T-pose<br />
**Janos Audron mural in Sarafan Stronghold only contains the heart-extraction part and has much simpler background<br />
**The Ouroboros chamber is missing Sarafan brothers murals and Raziel statue<br />
*Content not present in the final version of the game<br />
**Between the stronghold and the pillars, there is a cutscene of Raziel encountering two vampires who acknowledge he is not one of them and flee<br />
**Just before the pillars, the cutscene depicts the female vampire encountered earlier being impaled and decapitated by vampire hunters<br />
**The first vampire cutscene uses the untextured male vampire model, which is not present in retail game files<br />
**When in autoface combat mode, the crossed swords icon is shown in the upper-right corner of the screen<br />
*Different titlescreen<br />
