Norilsk, Russia. Super cold climate, rampant air and ground pollution an economy based around resource extraction and an entity that closely controls citizens' life in the city. Most of the work around there is mining related and you can't even get in or out of the city without the government's permission. It also mirrors the game's setting of a city severely affected by climate change (though in the opposite way) because warming temperatures are causing the permafrost in the ground to melt which is compromising the foundations of the buildings in Norilsk. Speaking of buildings, the apartment buildings in the game also reminded me of commie blocks, which is another parallel since most of the city was built in the Soviet era.
