Instead of going with a post-apocalypse of grime and ruin like games typically do, Space Funeral‘s apocalypse was a reality-bending one that bent the forms of the people and the land, preventing it all from achieving a cohesive whole. The other thing is that within the canon of the game, the world is supposed to be rotten and ruined. For one, the sheer goofiness of the setting and the bizarre enemies makes it work, as the grotesque art style really highlights how things are.

On the way out, he meets a talkative, abrasive horse made of legs appropriately called Leg Horse, who is on his own quest to restore his form. He wants to go out and fix it, in spite of people telling him that it is too late for him, that he’s doomed. His appearance is just one symptom of a world that had suddenly turned grotesque.
