Four ways to get around
The third official Q&A video is entirely about travel, and it confirms four modes: walking, flying taxis, the metro, and your own boat.
How they connect the city
The four districts are linked by rail and taxi routes, while the boat opens up the waterways and the waterfront. Official coverage frames travel as part of the fantasy, not a loading screen: you move between markets, alleys, squares, and the docks at your own pace.
The curfew wrinkle
Night travel is where the game gets tense. Official copy ties the curfew to security systems and sabotage; moving around after hours is described as risky business, which makes the choice of when to head home a real one.
What's still unclear
- Whether taxi rides cost money or are free transit.
- How the metro network maps onto the four districts.
- Whether boats are fast or leisurely.
