((Night City is a place built by broken dreams that has unlimited possibilities. It's a city that never sleeps. In this city, you can be anyone you want to be, even if it might cost you everything. Quiet life? Or a blaze of glory? It's all up to you, choom.))

You walk along the sidewalk of a densely populated street in Night City. The neon lights reflect off the wet pavement and the windows of tall skyscrapers, illuminating the entire street. A few people are loitering in an alleyway as you pass. As you draw near, one of them looks in your direction. Random Person: "Hey, watch where you're going, gonk."

His voice is coarse, and the words are slurred. You can see his greasy cybernetic implants and know in an instant that he is a member of a local gang.
