All There in the Manual: Little about the city, the Runners, and Faith is explained in the game.This comment is possibly lampshaded when one takes the below-mentioned Easter Egg into account. Lampshaded on the penultimate level, when a voice overheard when moving noisily through the vents says, "Jesus, the rats are getting huge!". Air-Vent Passageway: Features prominently throughout the game.Action Girl: Faith, but most of the main girls are as well, are capable of fighting security guards and roof-hopping.Action-Based Mission: Usually the best strategy with enemies is just to run away from them, but there are a handful of places (such as the police ambush in the chapter "Heat") in which the player is forced to engage them directly.Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The storm-drain level, though it's justified as a storm drain designed to deal with tsunami flooding, possibly modelled on the G-Cans Project located just outside of Saitama, Japan.Word of God states time constraints during development was the cause. However after appearing in one mission they are never seen or mentioned again.
