How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A City Hotspot in the industrial Brandon Docks district, with a ghost story about a night worker who drowned in one of its reservoirs.
The real place
The game's refinery is based on the Jardine Water Purification Plant, which in reality sits on the lakefront right next to Navy Pier rather than in an industrial district. Opened in 1964, it is one of the largest water treatment plants in the world and supplies drinking water to Chicago and many of its suburbs.
Visiting
The plant is not open to visitors. See it from Milton Lee Olive Park beside it or from the north side of Navy Pier.
