Things from WtA: The Book of Hungry Names you should know
There is an actual forest being clearcut to construct a police training facility in the U.S.
We trace the trajectory of the movement to Stop Cop City from the June 5 City Council vote through the November "Block Cop City" mobilizatio
Protests against the clearcutting of Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, Georgia have been ongoing since April 2021. Just like STATZ, a massive 'Cop City' is being built, replete with an entire mock city with empty apartments. The construction project has been widely criticized and authorities have killed one forest defender and made 61 arrests against protestors. 28 more arrests were made against students of Emory University in 2024 who peacefully protested for total divestment and were additionally shot at with tear gas, rubber bullets, and tasers.

This is not just a storyline in a well-written game. This is a real fight happening.
From Wikipedia:
Planned facilities include classrooms, a burn building, a mock city (including apartments, a bar/nightclub, and a school), and a shooting range.
Sound familiar?
2. Nin's appearance was inspired by Patty Smyth in the music video for "I Am the Warrior"
Confirmed to me by Kyle Marquis himself, Nin also sings a bit of this song in-game:
Nin sings, "Shooting at the walls of headache pang pang, I am the worrier," drumming on the desk. Elton flinches at each "pang."
3. The Dunwich Horror is a novella written by H.P. Lovecraft set in Massachusetts.
Although folklore in the region predates Lovecraft, whippoorwills carrying away the souls of the dead feature heavily in this story too.
4. Update coming on Monday.
Not sure what exactly it will entail but the code for the bugged Cheetah's Claw achievement will definitely be fixed. Oh, and the Red Talons are coming in a future DLC.
