1. A secret boss fight named DAWN, inspired by the infamous bumper "The Dawn is Your Enemy" from adult swim. the background was also meant to be a nod to the bumper, sunset, and all, with another secret alt being a nod to vibingleaf's take on the same bumper. there was also a plan where if you died during this secret boss, a pop-up would appear that would say, "The dawn is your enemy"

2. These were all the achievements planned for the game. only a handful were fully implemented, but the rest were never worked on

3. An easter egg idea where there was a small chance where every time you started the game or moved to a different frame, a missing persons poster would have appeared instead, with the person appearing being randomized. there was no actual lore connection with these just something to add to the game as a spook factor.

4. Mendax was a spoof on the lost episode creepypasta "lies" that had the nickelodeon fish logo as the antagonist. I wanted to make something similar but more "celestial" in a way. it would have also had a 2nd phase removing another spoof, this time with the whales from "plankton gets served," but ultimately, that idea was cut early on.

5. THE TOP: Another Easter egg that was reworked from the "plankton gets served spoof" idea. where you have been spawned from the top of the screen where you were forced to jump off, continuing to fall as more whales appeared in the background. while an idea that was started pretty early in the game, it was never finished, nor any assets created before the game's cancelation

6. BOTTOM: Another secret boss based on SM64 L is real hoax. its name would have been ETERNAL STAR, a direct reference to the urban legend. it would have started off as a solid statue before entering its next phase, where it would have begun to crumble and reveal an organic eye

7. The third phase of Eternal Star. while a lot was done with this phase, especially, it was never fully complete. this would have been its true form, meant to be some kind of alien or eldritch being in the shape of a corrupted star.

8. Eternal Star's final form. while the last phase was more eldritch and corrupt, this one was meant to go for a more angelic and pure design, almost as if this was its fullest potential. while a lot of ideas were made up it never got implemented in the game's canceled build.
