A Longer Lockdown - Chapter 1 Expansion

The immersive expansion of the first chapter gives V more time to earn euros in Watson District to pay off Victor's debt, or try using the vehicle as collateral. Instead of letting Jackie wait in front of the skyscraper, let Watson District truly become an RPG tutorial area like White Orchard in "The Witcher 3".

🎮Mod Overview

This mod adds carefully designed time intervals to the first chapter of "Cyberpunk 2077" and adjusts the pace of the game, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the world of Watson Zone before advancing the main plot. Parts of the conversation were also restored and reconstructed.
