Mostly what I remembered was the tone of the movie and trying to make a new show with that feeling. I was pulling from a lot of things for that though: Labyrinth, Majora's Mask, Legend, Myst, Wolves of Willoughby Chase, etc. It's just interesting actually revisit them and see the shared DNA.

Please let me make more Infinity Train so I can put in more of this:
Amelia is the redemption arc that Gehn never got 👏
And that's a RAD way to frame it too! Just from what I've played so far (up to Exile now), that debate of creation vs. exploration is super compelling and the echoes are there in IT for sure.
