You can find the Redaction font used in Realis and for this moon here (many thanks to Possible Worlds Games for posting the link on Bluesky).

Touchstones/influences:

Parts of the PARTIZAN season of Friends at the Table.

Elden Ring.

The Rule of St. Benedict (& personal/academic research on medieval European Catholicism more broadly).

The works of Edmond Jabès.

Got the idea for what flood-matter could look like from the visual effects in this Kenny Mason music video.
