Inspiration
Christian mythology, especially Belphegor, the demon of Sloth (Laziness).
I wanted the investigate my character Bel's reason for doing what she is doing and why the thought of invoking the player to cheat is important in the game. Cheating in itself is a shortcut without the hard work, so the sin of laziness fit very good with it. I was inspired to use the same idea for the title of the game, "The Lost Workshop" is a derivative of "The Devil's Workshop".
With my knowledge of various mythologies and legends I decided to make this fallen angel my protagonist. I gave Bel a porcelain white skin to making her merge more with the background, almost like a spirit. She also comes out of nowhere re-appears and can just disappear again if she wants to. I love to use mythological stories and giving them a story with their own depth and using these myth as a guide for the forms of a story, with a touch of my own style added to it.
Void Realm
The world is mostly empty and the puzzles seem to emerge from the void itself. The next puzzle can only be played after you have solved the current one and then the current and disappears be replaced by the next puzzle. The objects in the world must appear as if they are made of one children's room, but with a black and white theme thrown over it.
