Secrets & Easter Eggs
The network keeps things it was supposed to delete. A few worth hunting:
- NEW OHZEKI 大関 — the tribute bar at Axiom, and its master, MASTA-san.
- BARU-SAN'S TORIKIZOKU — Axiom's yakitori counter, run by chef BARU-SAN. Smells like charcoal
and good decisions.
- The Yodobashi arcade — a whole twelve-floor mega-store folded into one
station, elevator and all. The F3 audio floor doubles as the soundtrack picker.
- GHOST — an NPC who only turns up at certain stations. Worth tracking down.
- The Undertow — some stations have access to something below the platforms. Mind the gap.
Hidden contacts
The named locals — KIRA, AXIS, RAIL5, VENDOR7, GHOST — aren't set dressing. They remember you across runs as the story advances, and what they'll tell you changes with how far you've gotten.
Spoiler-light by design. The fun is finding them yourself.
