Correction Notice:
- On the Podcast Lukas correctly indicated the Dark Quiet Death Mythic Quest episode was inspired by Sierra Systems. The host suggested it was Ubisoft. This episode was based on Sierra Systems real life couple Ken and Roberta Williams.
- The series Mythic Quest itself is loosely based on Ubisoft and produced by Ubisoft Entertainment.
