Once a capital of all things cultured, Paris today stands as a shadow of its former self. The Haussmannian buildings frown at the daily sight of German soldiers, as Parisians try their best to live their lives in spite of all the hardships they have to endure. And yet, they live on, for better or for worse; for there is no alternative but to give in to despair, as the denizens of France know all too well.

In-game description

Ask a Parisian about Paris in 1901, and he might have described it to you as the center of his country. Ask a Parisian about Paris in 1919, and he might have told you of it as the center of the world. Ask a Parisian about Paris today, and you will get a canvas of broken dreams and lost glory, a twinge of sadness in his eyes, for the years have not been kind to the Ville-Lumière.
