We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.
Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-23 · 30 entries checked · 15 flagged · 38 issues confirmed · 15 corrected · 23 still open
Ellie Williams — Ellie is 14 years old at the start of the main story in 2033, not 19.
Ellie Williams — Ellie's mother died shortly after her birth, not in 2014.
Sam Burrell — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly contrasts Sam being bitten by a Runner with a non-canon event of being bitten by a Clicker in an abandoned subway station, which is a factual inaccuracy.
Marlene's Network — Marlene has not led the Fireflies for 'over twenty years' since the outbreak; the outbreak began in 2013, and the events of the first game take place in 2033, meaning she led them for about 20 years, not 'over twenty'
Marlene's Network — Ellie Williams was not rescued by Joel and Tess; she was smuggled by Marlene to be taken by Joel and Tess, and the phrasing 'rescued by Joel and Tess' is misleading
Jackson Settlement — The entry states 'Jesse, played by Stephen Chang in the HBO series' — Stephen Chang did not play Jesse; Jesse is played by Young Mazino in the HBO series.
Jackson Settlement — The entry states 'Dina, played by Shannon Woodward in the game and by an as-yet-unconfirmed actress in the HBO series (Isabela Merced plays a different character, likely Dina, but this is not yet officially confirmed)' — Isabela Merced has been officially conf
The Great Collapse — The entry states 'only Bloaters and Shamblers capable of releasing spores', but in the games, Clickers also release spores in certain areas, making the claim inaccurate.
The Great Collapse — The entry states 'Initial victims remained fast and aggressive, while long-term hosts developed hardened fungal armor and echolocation abilities', which is misleading because Clickers have echolocation and Bloaters have armor but not echolocation; the phrasing
Washington Liberation Front — Isaac Dixon is described as a former high-ranking sergeant for FEDRA, but in canon he is a former FEDRA general, not a sergeant.
Six-Shooter Revolver — The entry states the revolver is acquired in Bill's house, but in the canonical game, Joel obtains the revolver from a dead FEDRA soldier in the sewers of Pittsburgh, not in Bill's house.
Six-Shooter Revolver — The entry claims the journey goes through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona en route to Salt Lake City, but the canonical game's route goes through Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah, not Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma
Clicker — The claim that Clickers can 'bite through human skulls' is not supported by established canon; infected in The Last of Us do not exhibit feats of biting through bone, and the game's lore describes them as biting flesh, not skulls.
Clicker — The claim that 'standard bullets are less effective against the head compared to Runners' is misleading; in the game, headshots are equally lethal to Clickers and Runners on lower difficulties, and the fungal overgrowth does not act as armor reducing bullet da
