Thanks dude! And big same, pretty much the second Julia started going down this road in the episode I was head over heels in love with the whole thing and it's been sitting in the back of my brain percolating ever since.

I've actually never played KRZ, heard of it, but that's about it. Gonna have to fix that soon I think. As for the actual inspo, basically it was the convergence of the two main thoughts going on when I was developing the idea: 1) In the episode Julia explained that she was aiming for a "midwest diner meets midwest open air chapel" sort of thing, so that gave me the overall shape of the 2 walls and point roof opening out. And I knew that I wanted to incorporate some more of the diner aesthetic into the walls. And then 2) I knew I wanted to make it a cryptid, ghost-story, sort of thing, and where I eventually wound up landing was the idea that this place that was basically metaphysically ripped out of another universe and exists here for a time and so everything around the edges is aged and destroyed and shredded, and then it gets more and more pristine towards the fountain. So that let me kill the two birds of "creepy, haunted place ripped from another reality" and "creating that shape" with one stone, and the rest just naturally fell into place from there.
