While pondering what to name a recently acquired companion I noticed something weird at the bottom of the list, namely an entry for a companion which was simply named ‘Companion’.
Figuring that it was probably an element which had been damaged by the passage of time I named it ‘What?’ and went to check which companion now had this name. As it turns out, none of them did.
Does anyone know what this is? I’m guessing it’s just a remnant of something which Failbetter forgot to dispose of.

Hah, I never knew you could name that slot! To my knowledge, it’s always been labelled ‘Companion.’ I just took it as a kind of ‘header’ for the dropdown menu. I never thought to rename it, though… Heh, kudos to you.
I just tried, by the way, and I can do the same. edited by Sestina Valdis on 11/16/2015
IT’s not a header, it’s a new invisible item that everyone has. I believe the item was introduced as a means of equipping a blank slot with the outfits.
Given how Storynexus works (like the tutorial said, headers are based on these items), they probably surfaced as a result of implementing the outfit mechanic.
There seems to be one of these for each slot, and they can be set as mantlepiece items. I sent a bug report in about it so hopefully we’ll find out about it soon.
Oh wow, now that is weird. Just tested it myself, and it comes off as very unintentional. There’s no icon when selected, and it keeps using the description for the last item you had chosen. edited by Munk on 11/17/2015
