Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context

Their shattered structures and rubble-choked paths create a maze-like environment that traps Sarah, cutting off all escape routes as the Mutos close in.

Symbolically, the ruins represent the collapse of civilization and the rise of primal survival instincts, making them the perfect stage for the Mutos’ ambush.
