I have had the idea for a horror setting where there's an anesthetic that everyone thinks is really effective and a miracle drug, but it turns out all it does is paralyze you so you don't show pain, and make you completely forget when you come to. But the whole time, you're feeling everything.

Severance is a lot like that. But less body horror.

I thought about that exact scenario a lot, actually. I asked my dad about what it felt like to have an anesthesia during a surgery he had, and he told me he didn't remember. I misunderstood that as a kid, and I thought all it did was spare you the memory, but not the pain. I lived with that misconception for a good while :D
