Trivia
Title
The month after this game went viral, its author received a note from the legal department of Les Editions de Minuit:
Dear Sir,
We are aware that your website is using unauthorized the title of Samuel Beckett's play En attendant Godot / Waiting for Godot, for which we happen to manage the rights worldwide.
Please have the kindness to remove this title from your video game and confirm to us it has been done.
The game's author then went through a few rounds of title compromise before arriving at one that was found to be sufficiently compliant as to quash the prospect of legal action. (Fortunately, these lawyers have never caught on to the Godot gag in the game Modernism.)
