>>7110913>I didn't know that the place was actually based in some real placeYep, one of the devs (Scott?) said it was based off of some town in western PA, but a lot of the names are even similar to areas around where I grew up.
>Fort Lucrene Mall>County near where I grew up is named Luzerne>Also has an extremely decayed mall that is basically just hot topic>Luzerne also has a town with an extremely similar main street area (the area with the Snack Falcon)>Economy was based off of mining and after that ended went to decay>Tons of abandoned mineshafts everywhere>Tons of old people since all the young kids move the fuck away>Same economic problems as possum springs>Come back home and see the same old people hanging around like Mae doesI could go on about the similarities. Playing it makes me feel so weirdly nostalgic, it's nice to see my obscure home town area get noticed. I think it does that for everyone who grew up in the rust belt or another small town somewhere that nobody knows about. Also same, I still am very much in contact with my old pals, all of them moved on to great things except for a few who stayed behind and never went to college.
