One of the influences for the game's world was the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II. Lead designer for the game, Wan Hazmer, liked how at the beginning of the film, Marty McFly is surprised by the future world, but how the people there of that time react normal to it. This idea was used for how to provide the player with this "culture shock" of fantasy, but at the same make it realistic.
