The inspiration for this theme was chosen by turning the tv to a random station and watching a 1962 film with Elvis Presley as a homesteader called "Follow that dream". Please use this thread to discuss ideas and other sources of inspiration for this, and please make sure to be respectful of others if referencing any specific historical events, or historical figures. Internet archives can be a good source for historical music that is out of copyright.

First thing I thought was the Braid game. Could be some interesting time-travel mechanics.

I like the alternate history of the space race in For All Mankind, thinking of something along the same lines where we're much further along in space tech than the reality today.

Some setting ideas I had that I probably won't be using but might spark inspiration. 

The earth as it was in the 1800s but everyone is a duck. 

midcentury modern but all technology is replaced with magical objects that have similar function.

Ancient Greece but they have invented the computer already.

Midcentury modern but there's an earthquake that splits the US down the middle.

Western cowboys but they ranch cats for their fur.
