Played in a third-person perspective, players take control of Abigail 'Fetch' Walker, a young woman classed by the Department of Unified Protection as a 'conduit' who possesses superhuman powers. In custody of the D.U.P., Fetch is ordered to tell the story of the events leading up to her capture. Players use their Neon powers to defeat enemies and traverse the environment while completing the game's levels. The game primarily takes place in the streets of a fictionalised version of Seattle and in and around the prison, Curdun Cay.
