MIO: Memories in Orbit - Locations
The Vessel, the enormous technological ark that MIO explores, is split into roughly 25 areas and sub-areas. The game opens in the Nexus hub before spreading out into the ark's industrial, biological and structural regions, and the map keeps folding back on itself as new abilities reopen old routes.
