The setting for NECROPHOBIA has a particular campus, one which is based on a place in my life that I love so very much. I just really love the 1800s does Greco-Roman aesyhetic.
Now,I never ha e a reason to actually fo in here, and for most of the time these buildings are closed as private offices, tho one of them was shuttered as condemned for several years but then restored.... as mire private offices.
It's the hall of springs/ baths and it's in Saratoga. I'm outing myself here but I'm a saratoga native, born and raised and for all I hate this place, I have to say, it's a fuckin lovely place as long as you ignore the new constructions. Which are SO FUGLY.
It's not the most famous place but Saratoga was the Vegas before Vegas existed as has dwindled to an obscure holiday for the sliver of the 1% who like abusing horses.
These are in the state park and it's a place dear to me. The last time I saw my dad alive we went on a bike ride and I remember going bonkers on these closed buildings, running my mountain bike down the halls, the echo of the gears ringing off the concrete, and like a stupid asshole I skidded on the grass and nearly landed myself into the pond.
This building has never been an asylum, but the campus has a beauty about it that I chose for the setting because of the sheer irony of such a gorgeous place being where the worst doctor got his start.
These are some pics taken on retrochrome 400 from 2020. I have so maby more photos but they're on my laptop and I can only login to watt pad on my phone.
