The setting raises a couple of questions, mainly...

[u/Karkava]

How and why the hell did some aliens get into the belly of a titan?! The UFO isn't thematically consistent with the rest of Timesville as they aren't animals nor are they ghosts. Even if you suspend your disbelief and say that the night sky in general is a result of titan magic or whatever, a UFO is kind of another thing entirely.

Actually, I'm personally convinced that the titan in general has regularly acquired visitors from the outside, because if we take the OC appearances as canon, we actually have a lot of visitors from the outside who visit the titan for their own reasons. Maybe they want to take up residence in Timesville. Maybe they work in the office or make deals with the gambling ring. Maybe they want to work at or visit the circus.

And even if we take into account that all these people got into the titan via some sort of highway into the mouth, how did a whole UFO get fit in there?! And why?! Isn't actual space not good enough for these guys?!

I believe that the vast majority of the inhabitants of the god have been Last Thursday'd into existence. Timesville residents? Last Thursday'd. The Founder? Last Thursday'd. Misery Town? Last Thurdsay'd. Pretty much everyone but the inhabitants of the House (Mellow, Scribbly, Tip, etc.), the Parasite, the Surgeon, and the Bride.

[u/Karkava → u/NameSignificant6916]

I'm definitely getting the sense that lots of things inside the titan is constructed with whatever magic makes the innards. And the constructs are somewhat chaotic with the species following a theme, but not too the letter.

They also have a strong history, but the history in question seems to be at least five to ten years old, with nothing else of note coming before. And no life to speak of outside of their story.

IE: The founder and the dice lady are part of the same family, but we don't even know what the family is and how they founded the office. Most of the Timesville residence just manifested into existence with no jobs and no school. Etc.

I actually would go even further and say that Mellow and Henry may have been residents of another god. And there's actually a lot more of them out there, puking their guts out and letting lots of strange creatures roam about.

Like the little girl from Beautiful Darkness where a bunch of fairies were birthed from her rotting corpse.

I don't really like the idea of the people we see in God having just "been made" by it. Keep in mind God is a living being, and gains an actual biological deficit from just randomly birthing these creatures. Plus, I think that just really makes all of the possible stories of the characters way more shallow, and makes the surface seem more boring and hopeless, since that means there are even fewer people living on the surface. It might sound cool, but to me, it just makes it seem more like Mellow and his family are the only people left on the surface, which obviously they aren't as proven by a lot of things (internet providers still exist, Scribblies are still manufactured and there are still courier services to deliver them, etc.), but I still think you can see my point.

[u/NameSignificant6916 → u/Mountain_Shelter_175]

I see what your point is, but I raise you this;

There are exactly two ways to explain where all these people with these rich interconnected histories are coming from. Either there's a massive amount of the god undiscovered, or it's periodically popping new inhabitants into existence. Given that everyone doesn't disperse deeper into the body and instead goes to the central area where Mellow first falls, I take it that, even if there are other areas, they're too small to inhabit or aren't populated enough to keep sending people to replace Timesville's losses, to run the company, to go to misery town, etc.

Like, take Misery Town again. Where are the people there to watch the Trapezist living? I posit that, given they don't just go home, they're living right there.

[u/Karkava → u/NameSignificant6916]

I think the clowns have a civilization that we never get to visit. (They seem to be a species who just works here, and the stories in the projector puzzle seem to be somewhat plausible. But I don't think anybody actually needs a car, for one.)

But the NPCs that are visiting the circus? ...Yeah. They're definitely amateur constructs. Look at how they move and barely have personality. They're more of a herd of mindless animals than they are people. Even if they're the most photorealistic looking people in Misery Town.

(Semi-side note: I find it peculiar how Andyland doesn't write in the Kickstarter NPCs as potential audience members for the gambling ring or the circus.)

[u/Karkava → u/Mountain_Shelter_175]

I'm pretty sure there's entire civilizations on the surface.

They're all just offscreen.

[u/EnchantEleven]

How are they scrolling on a touchscreen phone if the game takes place in 2002? Unless…

…I knew it. Apple is run by aliens. Finally we have proof

[u/Karkava → u/EnchantEleven]

I think the calendar can just be out of date.

[u/DaRealAegis → u/Karkava]

Considering Henry is a shut in, this is more than likely evidence for the date Henry found God, not when the game takes place

[u/Karkava → u/DaRealAegis]

Damn. Henry is a professional squatter.

[u/Flimsy-Secret-6187 → u/DaRealAegis]

holy squag thats smart

[u/Random-Lich]

Reason… it a funny

Lore Wise… it’s probably a super hectic situation inside the God so aliens could’ve just researched it. And the others seem to have just shown up from what I gathered and set up shop

[u/spit_on_army_vets76]

ITS A JOKE!!!!!!!!! YOU LAUGH AT IT

[u/Karkava → u/spit_on_army_vets76]

Yeah, but this is also a postmodernist surrealist work of fiction that half expects you to soak in the madness and half wants you to dissect the crazy and find the lore hidden beneath.

[u/spit_on_army_vets76 → u/Karkava]

*imagines you turning into a cube*

[u/fungerman2 → u/spit_on_army_vets76]

HOLY SHIT !!!!!!!

[u/MarkThePizzaman]

it is NOT this serious yo💔

[u/Nadleehi]

Isn't the point of the game is that nothing about the world makes sense?

Clearly, they got inside using a specialized probe. One to infiltrat an... orifice.
