How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A fictional Italian coastal town of colourful houses, a church, a seaside mansion and caves hiding a secret laboratory.
The real place
Sapienza was modelled on Vernazza and Portofino plus towns on the Amalfi Coast. The team never visited Italy and researched Vernazza through YouTube and Google Street View.
Visiting
Vernazza is car-free. The easiest way in is the regional train along the Cinque Terre line from La Spezia, or a boat in summer.
