*Upon release, this level used employed a heavier use of visual effects in an attempt to further challenge the player. The section of the screen containing the first three patients would notably flip upside down, before flipping itself horizontally. It would repeat this sequence once more before the level ended.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZAooiXsIDw</ref> This screen-flipping effect would be removed in a later update to reduce the difficulty for new players. | *Upon release, this level used employed a heavier use of visual effects in an attempt to further challenge the player.

*Upon release, the level featured [[Richard Hugh]] as the third treatable patient; Richard is known to incorporate fast Classic Beats, and was presumably present to match said heartbeat in the level. However, in an update which came after the level's previous difficulty update, Richard would be replaced by Logan. The heartbeat, and gameplay itself, was left unchanged. This change may have been made for several reasons. It might have been in an attempt to follow the story and theming better, as Logan is the love interest of Hailey, who can be assumed to have been missing her for the time that she spent away from the hospital. Additionally, Richard Hugh is a character who views the Middlesea Hospital with distaste, making his presence in the level somewhat unfitting. Finally, the heartbeat in question lacked any [[Row Xs]], which is a characteristic feature of Richard's heartbeat lines. | *Upon release, the level featured [[Richard Hugh]] as the third treatable patient; Richard is known to incorporate fast Classic Beats, and was presumably present to match said heartbeat in the level.

::*Logan and his heartbeat line will temporarily move out of view when the Samurai is being introduced. Once Logan's heartbeat is made to join in with the three other patients, his sprite and heartbeat line will move back onto the screen. This is an entirely visual change and does not affect gameplay from prior versions. | ::*Logan and his heartbeat line will temporarily move out of view when the Samurai is being introduced.

::*In prior versions, toward the end of the level, green musical notes would float upwards from the bottom of the screen, as pink petals fell across the screen. These two effects have been entirely removed, likely to reduce screen clutter. | |||
