Policy Office

Chaos Zero Nightmare Policy Office

The Policy Office allows you to select a project that grants specific rewards for maintaining the city’s status above a certain threshold. You’ll also be able to approve policies that directly affect the city’s four statuses. Since you earn a new policy every three hours, choosing the right one to approve is key to achieving a high city status.

Garden Cafe

Chaos Zero Nightmare Garden Cafe

You can order a drink at the Garden Cafe once per day to obtain an Aether Empty Powder, which restores 60 Aether when used. You can hold up to four of these items at a time. The Garden Cafe is also home to four cats you can interact with!

Garden Cafe Guide

Epione Center

Chaos Zero Nightmare Epione Center

The Epione Center is where you can treat your characters who have suffered mental breakdown during your runs. You can offer councelling, which consumes a Communication Pass, in order to heal their trauma and retain the save data from the Chaos run. This will also allow you to claim rewards from the Councelling Records for certain characters.

There is also an option to delete their memories to relieve them of their Mental Breakdown, but this will also erase the save data from the Chaos run.

Research Facility

Chaos Zero Nightmare Research Facility
