Field notes
The interface frames the story as an in-world archive from Banco Mastro, with an operational account, transaction history, ranking, garage and property controls, and chapter achievements. Its opening crisis is domestic as much as criminal: Dantel is in a hotel suite when his fiancée calls, and the player is told to resolve the problem before the next toast. The visible run can end in a hangar arrest, giving the page a clear failure state rather than a purely promotional premise.
