Nova City — officially Nova Inception Urbs — is a Manhattan-sized coastal metropolis where the supernatural force called Chaos leaks into everyday life. It runs on a full day-night cycle with dynamic weather, its NPCs keep routines of their own, and nearly everything you see is meant to be interactive: metro lines, basketball courts, cinemas, even strangers' phones. The developers have said more cities and districts will be added to the world over time.

Getting around
All metro lines converge at the City Link hub; the E line runs underground. Above ground the city supports cars, taxis, buses, helicopters, boats and even firetrucks — plus parkour, wall-running and the Captain's Chaos-tendril swinging. Vehicles are not just travel: missions are built around them.
