Procedural Generation
Rooms and map for each mission are procedurally generated. Each playthrough is unique as the buildings vary greatly. The structure of buildings is also random. For example, the first floor might be located on different sides of a river or highway, and the connection will be on the upper floors. Or some parts of the building might be a narrow high-rise tower.

To start an arcade, you need a token. Tokens can be obtained from cashiers for coins. Coins are loot.

The number of cartridges in the deck is determined by the detective's rank. You can complete each arcade without any hassle. Or you can collect all the stars and complete all the tasks—to earn much more experience. Experience allows you to increase the detective's rank and expand the deck size.
Neo-N Invulnerability Mode
