This mention features the cut characters Rasmus and Mr. Grey.

SM14_CUT / Neon Nights[]

Eugene-fokin-stefa01

Stefa (artist's render)

SM14_CUT is a cut, early version of SM00: Neon Nights that is also mentioned in the 2013 missions list. The main similarity with the in-game Neon Nights mission appears destroying the Neon production facility at the end of the mission. Prior to doing so, the original version of Neon Nights is significantly different.

Whereas the in-game Neon Nights focuses on investigating clues in the game environments without character interaction, the early version of Neon Nights would have involved multiple characters leading to the trail of the Neon lab. The early version of the mission would have involved Stefa (a mother), Konrad (her son), and Bonbon.

Based on information from the 2013 missions list and the event flags listed below, Stefa is a mother looking for her son, Konrad. However, the player finds Konrad dead (the game files include an entry "4_KonradCorpse__ES_PoorDistrict" (Game.layer0.all.archive, line 74808516), suggesting that Konrad would have been found dead). Stefa then asks the player for "vengeance" (according to the event flag bStefaAskedForVengeance), which culminates in the destruction of the Neon lab.

In the final game, Stefa and Konrad were cut, while Bonbon was repurposed as a background character with no special dialogue interactions with the player. In the early version of the mission, Bonbon has a role of providing the location of the Neon factory to the player (whether she was also a Neon dealer, was in the released game, is not clear). The event flags also mention a gang war, which is not part of the Neon Nights mission in the final game.

Event flags[]

The following event flags relate to Stefa and Konrad

  • SM14_CUT\bRemembersStefaFromTrain
  • SM14_CUT\bHasMetStefa
  • SM14_CUT\bHasFoundKonrad
  • SM14_CUT\bStefaAskedForVengeance
  • SM14_CUT\bOutForVengeance

The mission also has the following event flags. The sequence is not specified in the game files, but the event flags have been arranged below approximately based on the 2013 missions list, which indicates that the player would meet with Bonbon first and the destroy the Neon lab later on:

SM15_CUT / Phantom Limb[]

Havel

Portrait of Havel, identified by the internal file name havel.texture (repurposed to depict Erik Simmons)

This mission involves the cut characters Havel, Poppy, Karel, and Ambrose. A portrait of Havel exists in the game files, but the portrait was repurposed to depict a different character. A unique model for Poppy exists in the game files, but the model was repurposed to depict little k. The designation of "SM15" matches the designation for the mission "Phantom Limb" in the 2013 missions list, although plot details are scant.
