I believe the company who made it originally did 3D visualisations of infrastructure for companies/goverment, and their environments are incredibly immersive because of it. Perhaps the best looking Source1 engine game in my opinion.
You are an engineer tasked with investigating issues with a particular dam, but as you dive deeper, exploring operational water infrastructure, train stations, power plants and abandoned facilities, you begin to unravel a story of corporate and government corruption and espionage. There's no combat, your main goal is getting through the different facilities, fixing stuff along the way if you want, and taking photographs of all the stuff that is broken.
It really hits all the exploration and engineering nerd itches.
Apartment buildings often have parking spaces for rent as many tenants don't have cars. Buzz the superintendent.
Much cheaper than the going rate in office buildings.

I often thought I was taking photos of buildings and spaces that would soon not exist. In hindsight, I was correct. To have this blog documenting something from so long ago (relatively speaking) is a true gem.
Urbex, in general, is an absolutely harmless illegal pursuit,or hobby if you will. The people who go to the places few will ever see, are documenting spaces that will generally be soon lost to the world.
It's a really great thing IMHO.
Just my 2c.
