- The 2011 LP marked the debut of Nick Bebel, Steve DiTullio, Brandon Vogel and Cait Spain on the channel. With the exception of Bebel, none of them would appear on the channel again.
- The first episodes of both LPs of the game were released on July 28, a significant date in the Chzo Mythos.
- The 2011 LP was originally intended to be the first in an annual series, with one Chzo Mythos game being played every year from 2011 to 2014, and each LP beginning on July 28. After the plans for both 2012 and 2013 fell through, this was ultimately reworked into all four games being played in 2014, including a repeat LP of the first.
- The final episode of the 2014 LP ends with a trailer previewing the LP of 7 Days a Skeptic, the second game in the series.
