You’ll spend a lot of time in Metaphor’s different cities and towns, but your ship, called the Gauntlet Runner, is the center of your world. Inside, you’ll find a war room in which all your teammates can gather as you travel from place to place. Here, you can plan your journey, as every time you travel, in-game time will pass similar to Persona’s calendar mechanic. Getting to and from different places will take more time than others, so Metaphor will become just as much about time management as gaining people’s favor.

While you travel, you’ll be able to hang out in the Gauntlet Runner and see the outside world as you fly to your destination. This is your time to hang out with friends, handle equipment loadouts, read, or just sleep through the trip. But if you head out onto the ship’s deck, you can watch the whole journey from one place to another in real time.
