Trivia[]
- There is an unused animation for Richter getting killed with a Toothbrush, it resembles the same animation used for the guards and prisoners when they are stabbed with it.
- Richter also has working sprites of him using the Toothbrush on other Prisoners while he is still in his prisoner outfit, however this can not be done without the use of bugs or the Level Editor since he never fights the Prisoner faction until he gets his guard uniform. This may imply that Richter was supposed to fight other Prisoners while still in his prison outfit at an earlier stage in development.
- Sometimes, when Richter kills a prisoner with the Toothbrush, his clothes change back to the prisoner outfit until the player presses the Throw Weapon button.
- If Richter manages to get a Toothbrush from one of the three escaping Prisoners at the start of Release, then uses it to kill a Guard, the death animation will be one of the default cut death sprites. If Richter attempts to do an execution with the Toothbrush on a Guard it will glitch and spawn the Default Enemy sprite.
