PREMISE

GOTHIC

Paris, once a beacon of cultural splendour and societal harmony, now finds itself ensnared in the grip of decay. Beyond the physical deterioration of its iconic landmarks and boulevards, the city's very soul seems fractured, succumbing to a wave of societal neglect that has far-reaching consequences. Amidst this backdrop of decline, the once-vibrant fabric of Parisian life is torn apart by rising crime, apathy, complexities of immigration, and devious factions.

As law and order unravel, the streets give rise to villainy. Criminal elements, emboldened by the downfall of a once-proud police force, now weave through the city's arteries with impunity. The institutions designed to protect and serve have found themselves overwhelmed, under-resourced, and disillusioned, leading to a crisis of faith in public safety and governance. This vacuum of authority has allowed shadows to grow longer in the city's corners, where black-hats, once lurking at the fringes of society, now boldly stake their claims, carving out territories in a silent coup against the remnants of order.

Indifference has seeped into the heart of the populace, a numbing veil that blurs the lines between right and wrong. This growing detachment born of despair—a protective shell against the constant barrage of societal breakdown.

The fall of Paris into this dystopian state is not just the story of a city lost but a cautionary tale of civilization at a crossroads. It paints a grim picture of what becomes of a society when the bonds of community, justice, and mutual respect are allowed to erode. Once known as the most romantic city in the world, now reflects the dark potential of human neglect and the dire consequences of abandoning the principles that once held us together in the face of adversity.
