A fictional location, often a Middle Eastern city, that follows the basic visual style of what it’s trying to convey but falls flat in every other aspect. It does not feel like it has history, it does not feel lived in, it does not feel immersive. It simply feels like the creator used a very surface-level knowledge of how things should vaguely be shaped and colored and designed the entire location around that.
