In the game there are a number of television sets that can be found around the town in different places. They can be switched on and a short episode of the fictional series "Night Springs" will be played, which is influenced by the television series "The Twilight Zone", created by Rod Serling in the late 1950s. Alfred Hitchcock is also cited as an inspiration, with the flocks of birds that often attack the protagonist being influenced by his classic horror film "The Birds".
