Trivia[]

The three anchor stores are based off real life stores.
- Idea is based off Ikea.
- Goshan is based off Auchan.
- OLI is based off OBI.
The mall on 'Interchange' is based of the chain of MEGA stores which can be found all over Russia.
The MEGA store in Nizhny Novgorod most closely resembles the one shown in-game.
