The Victor Initiative takes place in an abandoned research facility in Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), north Wales.

Some notes in the game feature mentions of north Wales towns such as Prestatyn and Llandudno.

A mysterious cat entity named Bast of Egypt goes by the alias of “Cath Palug of Anglesey”, referencing the mythical Welsh creature.

Arawn, the ruler of Annwn, the Welsh Otherworld, appears later in the game, speaking fully in Cymraeg, the Welsh language.

Other creatures from Welsh mythology appear as characters or in writing, including Gwyllion, Ceffyl Dŵr, and Llamhigyn y Dŵr.

Welsh language appears in some notes, as well as in certain number-based puzzles that display the Welsh words for the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 (un, dau, tri, pedwar).

Welsh actors featuring in the game include Tobias Weatherburn, Jack Ayres, and Osian Llewelyn Edwards.
