Trivia

The actress who played Nico, Sarah Crook did not actually audition for the role. She was one of the supervisors of the audition, and asked Charles Cecil if she could try out for the role after a string of applicants Cecil regarded as unsuitable.

This was planned to be the last Broken Sword game, but later Revolution decided to continue the series with Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game.

The picture of George in Nico's apartment is the picture that George uses to ask about the killer throughout the first Broken Sword game, Circle of Blood. If you look behind George, you can see the assassin, complete with the bright green clown pants.

After leaving Vernon's apartment for the first time, you should see a skater boy. You must do this egg now, because later in the game the skater boy will disappear. Walk up to the skater boy and use the lipstick on him. Nico will say "There was no way I was going to do that!" or something similar. You have just triggered the easter egg! Now walk down the street until you pass the park. Normally, when you walk pass the park, Nico will say "I considered leaving the area," and the game will ask you where you want to go, but If you used the lipstick on the skater boy, it will go right into a loading screen as soon as you past the park.

After the game is done loading, you'll be in the secret area. There isn't much to do here, but there is a dog that walks around. There is also a bridge that goes over the river. If you walk down the bridge far enough, Nico will say, "I considered leaving the area," and the game will ask where you want to go :) By the way, this easter egg is the only use for the lipstick in the whole game.

George's lucky piece of coal makes a return. In the previous game, you could pick up a 'lucky piece of coal' in the warehouse in Marseilles. It appears in this game as well, you can find it in the locked metal shack in Susarro`s Castle. Just like the previous game, it has no use at all in the game itself.

In the room of Vernon Blier, the geek, you can find some (funny) references. In his bedroom, there's a poster with the cover image of the first Broken Sword game against the wall. In the living room, there's a painting with an apple on it. If you observe it closely, Nico will say: "Another Steve Jobs original" - an obvious reference to Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple.
