i had this one setting of this infinite city in which humans barely manage to survive with all the weird eldritch monster and cracks in reality and i was gonna make a game with it but i felt like the setting didn't fit as much with the themes i wanted and i have now found out the solution to this and that is to make it cyberpunky and about fascism

#not really cyberpunk but like the idea is that the city is immensely large like a hive city #where capitalism reigns only beneath of office of the mayor and side by side they exploit the citizens #and in some cases #often foolishly #attempt to exploit things far beyond humanity #the reason i say fascism is that a core belief spread in the city is that there is nothing outside the city walls besides ruin and madness #and that the city is constantly under attack #which may or may not be true but is nonetheless used as a flimsy excuse for horrific exploitation of the cities lower classes #the idea is that the player runs a mail ship or something like that and mail men are allowed to traverse the various tiers of the city with #less scrutiny while also having insane deadlines #and the player character's overseer dies without anyone besides the player character realizing opening up the player character to much more #freedom letting you go around and explore #gameplay like sunless sea
