Wretched April's influences:

Video games:

Captive, Celeste, Daggerfall, Dark Souls, Earthbound, Final Fantasy VII, Furcadia, Morrowind, Neopets, Shadowrun (Megadrive edition), SMT: Strange Journey, Ultima IV, V and Underworld

Albion, Angband, Dark Souls 2, Dungeon Master 1 & 2, Final Fantasy 8, 9, 10 and 12, Hard Nova, Incubation, Legend of Grimrock 1 & 2, Moonring, Nowhere Prophet, Realms of Arkania, Return of the Obra Dinn, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Slay the Spire, Space Rogue, Star Command, Starflight, Sundog, The Outer Wilds, Ultima Underworld 2, Wasteland and X-COM

It definitely won't play much like any of these games but just know that they're in my head a lot!. Compared to late eighties tile based RPGs, I have less love for the big nineties RPGs like Fallout or like Baldur's Gate. Choice and consequence isn't *that* fascinating to me. I prefer cool systems

lastly, Doom 2's one of my fave games but it is impossible to take influence from without copying, proven over and over again throughout the ages x3
