FBC: explained Firebreak's main design philosophy

The environments seemed to hold back CheckThe sense of verticality, with the greatest accounts of the old home brand, huge corridors and considerable offices on display. After completing the objectives of the mission, the players had to frantically return to the elevator to finish the job.
