Renoir is a key figure in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the fantasy role-playing game built around a doomed expedition and a mysterious painter, and his cane has become a shorthand for his presence in fan edits. The sound travelled through gameplay clips and short-form videos, where editors used it to frame arrivals, confrontations, and plot twists without dialogue. Because the tap is instantly recognisable to players and carries a sense of age, patience, and menace, it continues to appear in new edits long after the original scenes, especially when a creator wants authority without explanation.
