• Second part of the short films of children's games, this time inspired by the Red Light, Green Light game.
• The typography of the title is the same as that of the "Insidious" saga.
• At the beginning of the short film, on the desk, you can see the novels "Fight Club" by Chuck Palanhiuk and "The Prince of Fog" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, two of the most influential works for the director.
• At the end of the video call, if we pause the image, we can read in the conversation the threats Lara makes to Erika.
• The doll in the urban legend is the same doll that appears in "Veo, Veo".
• The doll's laugh is the same laugh of the Kiki doll from the video game "Emily Wants to Play".
• The color of the photograph changes from a warmer color when there are no spirits to a cooler color when there are spirits.
• When the stuffed animals begin to move on their own, the spirits literally come in to play. You can see the feet of one at the end of the hallway the first time, the hand of another in the corner the second time and the reflection in the mirror behind the protagonist when she closes the door.
• The names Lara and Aloy are references to the protagonists of the video games of the "Tomb Raider" and "Horizon" saga respectively.
• When Erika runs towards the bodies of her parents, the doll can be seen at the end of the corridor watching the action.
• The doll is wearing the same dress as the girl's photo in the end credits, referring to her original appearance. This is Abril Escribano, the real sister of the protagonist.
• The protagonist actresses never saw the doll until the exact moment of filming with her, so her emotions are real.
• It is shot in the same room as the short film "Veo, Veo".
• The story is inspired by the fear that urban legends gave me when I was a child and what situations can lead us to resort to them, in this case bullying and abuse.
