This game started out as yet another fantasy RPG that I was putting together to run with some friends; eventually I got tired of running fantasy and considered making the system setting-neutral. I proposed this idea to my players, and was ready to start a game involving paranormal investigators in a haunted hotel. However, one of my players challenged me to make the game post-apocalyptic, which I had honestly never considered, and that's how the setting became what it is. Still, I think it's entirely possible to hack the game into any sort of setting with a minimal amount of work.
All that being said, there's probably still some vestigial Fantasy RPG DNA lurking in there.
There is a more or less detailed development log attached to the rules, so if you're interested (for some reason) about how the development progressed, feel free to check that.
