''to | * [[Deptford County]] is a setting which recurs across many of [[Jeffrey Koval]]'s stories, even involving [https://deptford.neocities.org an ARG] to a degree. While most Deptford County stories aren't heavily connected beyond the shared setting, ''Fountain of Youth'' acts as a subtle sequel to [https://www.deptford.co/p/thevents.html ''The Vents'']. Indeed, the titular "[[Fountain of Youth (Fountain of Youth)|Fountain of Youth]]" is the same location as the titular "Vents". ''Fountain of Youth'' also reuses the [[Oracle Program]] and the mysterious beings which ''The Vents'' calls "[[Children of the Vents]]". | ||
