I think that’s exactly what was meant, though. Taking only this screenshot into account, that’s not French culture, that’s French caricature. Are there other aspects that more genuinely express more subtle aspects of French life and history? Genuinely asking
Sorry, the screenshot was mostly a jab at the guy pretty much saying a game made by French developers and artists, with songs in French, in a setting heavily inspired by a distinct historical French period wasn’t genuinely French enough for him :>
It’s literally based on Paris around 1900, the architecture and the trains, the technology and stuff are directly taken from the French “belle époque” of those years. Then there’s the music (accordion), the outfits, the entire painting theme, etc. Obviously technology is not exclusively French, and the architecture is generally western European, but that is literally Paris around 1900. Oh, and the names of the painters are from actual people.

Are you American or something that you don’t get what I mean?

That’s awesome! I genuinely don’t know much about it, so I appreciate the perspective
