How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A City Hotspot in the Loop with a tall illuminated AMBROSE sign on its side and a flashing billboard over the entrance. It hosts the Dot ConneXion art expo during the story.
The real place
The Chicago Theatre on State Street opened on 26 October 1921, the same date the game gives for the Ambrose. Its six-storey vertical CHICAGO sign and the marquee below it are among the best known images of the city.
Visiting
Guided tours take you backstage, where performers have signed the walls for decades, just as the in-game hotspot text describes. Come back after dark to see the marquee lit up.
