A few varieties of parking garages are depicted. Luxury hotel garages are new, spotless and have expensive cars in the spots. Office and mall garages tend to be older and have a wider range of cars, including easy-to-hotwire old cars for the heroes to steal and escape in. A grungy hotel in a WretchedHive or in an AbandonedArea will have a shabby, dark parking garage with the lights flickering, making it a scarier setting for horror.
