That's the *exact* same place I have taken my inspiration from up until now.
I finished the damn game in 4/5 days though, but it stays true to it's
nature from beginning to end. I don't know how far you are, but when you get
to the trainyards, stand on one of the carts and stare out over the city.
Beautifully done...
