== Functional Areas ==
The main functionalities of the game are accessed through distinct stations scattered around the room. Interacting with a terminal opens a full-screen UI menu.

=== Play Terminal ===
Located in the center of the room, the Play Terminal is the primary station for matchmaking. It appears as a circular table surrounded by a glowing green summoning circle. Interacting with it opens the "Select Play Mode" menu, which includes options for:
* '''Deadlock:''' Standard player-vs-player matches.
* '''Ranked:''' Ranked player-vs-player matches.
* '''[[Street Brawl]]:''' Quick-paced 4v4 battle.
* '''Bot Match:''' Play against AI bots, either privately or with other players.
* '''Sandbox Mode:''' A comprehensive training mode with advanced tools.
* '''Explore NYC:''' A mode to freely explore the map.
* '''Custom Match:''' Create private lobbies with custom rules.

=== Learn to Play Terminal ===
Situated in the library area to the right of the main hall, this terminal is a book resting on a stand in front of an armchair. Interacting with it provides access to the game's Basic Tutorial. This is also accessible from the Play Terminal for new players.

=== Watch Terminal ===
Found in a back room, the Watch Terminal consists of a vintage film projector aimed at a screen. This station is used to access the replay and spectator system, allowing players to watch live matches or search for a specific match by its ID.

=== News Terminal ===
The news terminal is a corner under the stairs with newspapers, magazines and a mystic personal computer powered by candles and using an Ouija planchette as a mouse. Interacting with the terminal shows news about recent updates published on Steam.

=== Ranked Terminal ===
The ranked terminal is near the entrance to the Shop & Practice Space. The frame in the wall shows the player's current rank. The chalkboard shows the player's current rank or placement progress, as well as various chalk drawings, and the player's performance in their most recent ranked match. Interacting with it shows the player's rank, ranked match history, hero progress for ranked, and leaderboards.

=== Vote Terminal ===
Located where the Ranked Terminal now stands, the Vote Terminal was a wooden ballot box that allowed the community to influence which hero would be released next. Interacting with it opened the "Who's Next?" menu, where players could cast their votes. Players earned one vote for every match played, and an on-screen timer indicated when the next hero unlock was scheduled. Casting a vote also added stickers to the walls:

* '''[[Six New Heroes]]:''' "Eye Voted" stickers
* '''[[Old Gods, New Blood]]:''' Stickers depicting the face of the hero voted for
