Hidden Details

res/anim/Cutscene2Scene2/RocketScene_inside.image
This file contains a background of the final cutscene from Chapter 2. A part of it is placed outside of the camera movement and is never normally seen. In the cut-out part, there is a flipped image of a small table with two books on top of it - "#IMOMSOHARD" by Jen Smedley and Kristin Hensley and "Off Course" by Michelle Huneven. Underneath the table, there's also a text that reads as "grow old with me the best is yet to be" which seems to be a quote from Robert Browning's poem.

Same detail can be found in res/anim/Cutscene3Scene1/room.image

Unused Items

NeonSmileyDynamic (Before Level Editor update)
(0a6c052b-fd4e-4cf1-b38d-89722aa2e30f)
In the releases, before the Level Editor, this item was broken, since the images IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SMILEY and IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SMILEY2 were not present. However, it still had geometry, in form of a frictionless circle.
After the Level Editor update, this item is functional, due to the changed image name in the item file - IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SMILEY is replaced with IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SPHERE.

Prototype/PrototypeDynamicSphere

Prototype/PrototypeDynamicTriangle
(61af9274-27f8-4a01-99b9-07ea3ce0ce5d)
Even though this has geometry defined, it clips into the floor.

Prototype/PrototypeStaticRect1

Prototype/PrototypeDynamicRect1
(61af9274-b752-4244-9471-c48bf30e03cd)
This appears to be physically denser than the rest of the prototype objects.

Prototype/PrototypeStaticTriangle
(61af9275-a8b0-480e-9ab0-f755464ca7dd)
Even though this has geometry defined, anything can pass through it.

NewPrototype/moltenhead
(52716a53-2525-4413-b5a4-62d6d6c280e5)
This is a duplicate of Prototype/PrototypeDynamicRect1, except it's lighter.

LevelText
(d9763739-f6d5-47dc-aa83-4541948cff85)
This is hardcoded to show text, but at a slight angle.

Unused Liquids

MoltenLava - 2
Despite being a liquid, it actually acts like a solid. You can make this by mixing Water and Lava together, however none of the main levels have that interaction.

In the 1.0.4 update, the train car in Black Stain's (Chapter 4) "Murder on the Midnight Steamliner" was changed - the middle part contains a hidden QR code, which leads to "Misty's Secret", which is a secret webpage with the game's merchandise. The lamp lightning is also slightly changed.
