The game uses a top-down perspective for both exploration and combat, with real-time action throughout. Players move between city districts, underground areas, and mission sites, gradually unlocking most of the map after an initially restricted opening. Travel is usually handled by taxi, though visas, checkpoints, and special transportation options can alter routes. Combat is short and fast-paced, and progression comes from earning money, buying equipment, learning spells, and completing story-driven jobs.

Joshua

The protagonist, a lone runner controlled by the player as he takes jobs and uncovers the secrets of the city.

Spend early money on survivability: a reliable weapon, armor, and healing items make the game much easier. Talk to as many NPCs as possible because important leads are often hidden in conversation. Use taxis to cut down travel time and revisit districts efficiently. If an area is blocked, check whether a visa, item, or alternate route is required. In combat, keep moving and use healing before a fight turns dangerous.
