Hethereau is big, and NTE gives you two very different ways to cross it: instant, or indulgent. Which you pick usually depends on whether you're in a hurry or in the mood to just enjoy the city.
The Ghost Train: instant travel
When you need to be somewhere now, ride the Ghost Train. It cuts through "Anomaly space" to drop you across the map in a flash — NTE's version of fast travel, wrapped in the game's supernatural fiction. Unlock its stops as you explore, and you'll rarely be more than a few seconds from anywhere important.
Your car: the scenic route
The other option is to customise a ride and drive it. Tearing through the neon streets is a genuine part of the game — there's even a racing mini-game — and the city is built to be enjoyed at street level. When you're not chasing an objective, the drive is the content.
Use the Ghost Train for chores — commissions, dailies, shopping runs on Hankaku Street — and save the car for when you actually want to soak up Hethereau. Best of both worlds.
Settle in
Traversal ties into NTE's cosy side. Buy a little apartment, decorate it, and it doubles as a home base you'll actually want to return to between commissions. Between the train, the car and a place of your own, the city stops feeling like a level and starts feeling like a neighbourhood.
