It is also feasible to leave the automobile parked in a few spots and walk around the city.
During some missions, the player’s choices might affect the result and result in various conversations with the characters.
Additionally, the player can find hidden optional story pieces around the city to open up new side tasks and stories. You can purchase goods to decorate Rania’s residence as well as enhance the HOVA to increase speed and damage control.
