The entire game takes place in an "automated city" that has replaced all public amenities and interpersonal interaction with privately owned and operated apps and "self-service".
The entire city is designed for "pod" (remote-operated single-passenger vehicle) throughput, which means ten-lane highways through the city center. All buildings are glass-and-steel monoliths. Most of the jobs available are for the company that runs the city. "Loitering" is the most commonly prosecuted crime, as anyone on the streets for longer than 4 minutes is arrested one of the many, many, cops walking around.
