fellas is Otherside Picnic an isekai

Not in the sense that they go to another world and never come home. It's like going back and forth between a hidden world and their home

My understanding is that it's actually inspired more by Roadside Picnic

i'm asking because it came up in an SV thread on isekai and I had to stop for a moment because I think that calling it "isekai" is missing the genre for the tropes

Yeah I wouldn't call it an isekai

roadside picnic is its own genre, imo

it's definitely horror adjecent if so, and an inspiration for the New Weird stuff like the SCP Foundation
