OMG yeah Mystery Flesh Pit (and the first episode of Kaiju No. 8) were the biggest inspirations for the setting for sure!! I actually had more exposition planned like how the kaiju meat is only eaten by the lower class because it turns your off-spring into half-beasts, but I couldn’t find an easy way to add it in without it feeling forced.
All of the jam submissions that I’ve played are so amazing, you’re in for a wild ride lol
