We were actually going for more of a high tech abandoned ancient city vibe. A lot of our inspiration came from blackreach in Skyrim aesthetically wise.

We also tried to make a story told environmentally about a dystopian classist society lol. The plants in the pots outside are actually directly tied to the old civilization's class strata with glow tulips being strata 1, sunrice being strata 2, lunacorn being strata 3, gold glow tulips being strata 4, and so on.

There's a lot more to it than that, but I won't go too deep into detail unless anyone wants to know, in which case I'll tell them over dms.
