In-Game Appearances[]
Mae watching Garbo & Malloy with her father
The Garbo & Malloy show first appears on the bus station television screen at the beginning of the game. Later, Mae and her father can watch them together most nights after Mae asks her father to move the boxes from the crawlspace.
Trivia[]
- During scenes where Mae watches this at home, Garbo and Malloy appear to be backwards on the TV screen, meaning Mae and her father are watching it with the screen reversed. This was most likely done so the player can see the show as well.
- Unlike most characters, Garbo & Malloy's sprites are one of the only one that have a unique filter over them, making them look like they're on an older television screen. They share this same feature with Judge Janice.
- The "coming up next" segues at the end of the episodes seem to vaguely foreshadow events throughout the game. Malloy mentions him and Garbo joining a cult, referring to the cult, as well as mentioning them going to therapy, possibly referring to Mae's therapy with Dr. Hank.
