<p>Jay cited comic author Grant Morrison as an influence on the broader themes of the game (as well as the strange English surrealism of the setting), as Morrison's stories often explore the nature of fiction, multiple realities, and their influence on one another.<sup id="cite_ref-1"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup></p>

<p>Bytten Studio made a point to not put in a huge amount of Japanese mythological monsters in comparison to mythology from other nations, especially since well-known mons franchises such as <cite>Shin Megami Tensei</cite>, <cite>Pokémon</cite> and <cite>Digimon</cite> are Japanese franchises; they do not want to seem derivative. <sup><a href="https://discord.com/channels/594939411775619102/709417227652431942/1206255854211305523" target="blank">[Source]</a></sup></p>
