Gameplay
Equip and use Ian’s phone in his inventory to view the current objective.
Ian can interact with various objects around the city. When an interactable object is in range, a text prompt is shown in the bottom right-hand side of the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Move the joystick up or down, depending on the indicator, to interact with the object. Some interactables require the joystick to be held in a direction to continue interaction - for instance, using cover.
Coins can be found inside lockers and defeated enemies. Coins can be used for black market purchases - find the black market store and interact with the shopkeeper to purchase additional weapons, ammo and armour.
Use surprise and cover to your advantage - walking into gunfire can end badly! To sneak around enemies, use cover and crouch walk. All movement other than crouching will make noise which enemies can notice; enemy reactions are shown as ? or ! icons above their heads.
Experience points
Ian can gain experience points through combat and by completing objecives. Once enough experience has been accumulated, a skill point is given. Press the Pause game button to open the skill menu and choose an ability to improve:
| Ability | Description |

| Hand-to-hand | Faster, more damaging attacks while in melee combat. |
| Marksmanship | Increased firearm damage with quicker reloading. |
| Load capacity | Carry more weapons and & ammo. |
| Endurance | Reduces damage taken |
Defeating enemies with non-lethal weapons, such as Ian’s fists will give more experience.
