Downtown is the first open area available to explore in multiple ways. The gameplay in this area is divided into two sections.

First time being in Downtown area we have to find a way to put off the fire and reach the Subway Power Substation. This time we won’t have lock pick tool thus few items are remaining unavailable to collect.

After the Subway Power Substation, Jill must bring the trains online heading back to the Subway Office. Heading back to the Downtown for the second time we can unlock all available items and collectibles.
