Estonian Indie Developers: The world is literally being consumed by humanities psychological malaise. But there's cryptids so that's cool.
The only French indie game that comes to mind is E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy which kind of fits, is there any other notables?
The American description sounds more French indie-games to me, like Dordogne or something. They have way more appreciation for Japanese aesthetics and theming.
French description sounds like wherever does dark-fantasy stuff, probably Spain/Italy/Russia maybe?
American indie location would be like: We remade the game and location you loved from the SNES era, again: likely a fantasy-style metroidvania.
There's a ton of Stardew Valley knockoffs coming out that for the American description and I think they're mostly American devs
We remade Harvest moon and the Mineral town you loved from the GBA era, again

Playing 100 hours of Paralogic and then feeling right at home when I see the Slaughterhouse that Siphons Souls at the center of Krakow.
I have been to Warsaw once. Never again. However it's neither Kraków nor Białystok so it's got that going for it.
