Gameplay
The world is a comprehensive environment, not divided into levels like most other 3D shooters of the time. Instead, the player travels from a central hub-like area in the city between various levels which will stay the same as when the player left them.
The player can talk to NPCs and some decisions affect the future gameplay. The game also has several paths to follow (for example, at one point the player can kill Macil, the rebel leader, or decide to still trust him), and can result in one of 3 different endings.
