* In ''Fable III'', when you have become the king, during the quest where you must meet with Paige to break up a robbery, the player must navigate their way through the basement area. This is the only time the player is allowed down in there. Upon discovery of stacks of crates, there is a small entry way where you can navigate through. There you'll find a man in a cell worshipping a crate with pink hearts painted on all sides, a reference to the [[Weighted Companion Cube]] found in the ''Portal'' series. Next to the cell is a baked cake, also a reference to the fabled cake in ''Portal''.
