Is this based off Yuma, AZ ?

The name Yuma was chosen because Yuma is the hottest city in the continental US- Fire is a motif used throughout the game. Sadly I don't think Yuma Arizona has quite the same density of crucifixions and opium that I needed for the game. Yuma Will Burn is set underground, but the surface world is somewhere in Mongolia or Russia.

Yuma, AZ could use more Opium. It's good on crucifixion levels, though--any more would just be too much.

We really don't.

And honestly, we only do crucifixions in winter, to damned hot to do it in summer.

But it’s a dry heat πŸ˜† I have family there and lived there for a few years, best tan of my life but at times it felt like my brain was actually melting. Like living inside of a furnace.

We were poor and didn't have AC in our car. As an adult, I have an aversion to the heat. I wonder why.

Yuma Will Burn is pretty much the weather forecast for the summer.
