The script for the game is 300,000 words long.
At one point in the game, Dionysus and Zagreus pull a prank on Orpheus, telling him that Zagreus and Dionysus are one and the same--that Zagreus was destroyed by the Titans and that his heart was reborn as Dionysus. This reflects an actual disparity in Greek mythology where Zagreus's origins come from separate, mutually exclusive sources. The playwright Aeschylus writes of Zagreus as an underworld god, but later sources, attributed to songs sung by Orpheus, tell the story of his death to the Titans and rebirth as Dionysus.
