Story notes
- Deptford County is a setting which recurs across many of Jeffrey Koval's stories, even involving 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 The Vents. Indeed, the titular "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".
