Zen Garden

Connor and Amanda periodically meet in the Zen Garden to speak and review the investigation into deviant androids. Its first version had been designed by Elijah Kamski, but has been improved by others since then.

The location realistically depicts a garden with a lake, paths, bridges, and a lake island with a rose trellis. It can simulate the seasons and weather. During the game, it moves through the seasons from spring to winter. In its mid-credits scene appearance for a successful Machine Connor, the Zen Garden is again in spring/summer.

The seasons and weather seem to correlate with CyberLife's and Amanda's condition and mood, becoming worse as the android uprising progresses and Connor's mission stalls. It is unknown if this scenery is specifically chosen or if it is a side effect, maybe linked to Amanda's mood.
