She is held captive in the floating city of Columbia in alternate version of 1912. During his travels Booker encounters different factions within the city who are battling one another.

Gameplay & Core Systems
The game uses similar gameplay styles and mechanics found in previous BioShock games. Vigors give players super powers to do a variety of things such as sending a murder of crows to peck away enemies or charming enemies to defend you. Most vigors have multiple uses either as a direct attack or as a much stronger trap awaiting to be triggered. The typical FPS array of weapons can be found throughout the game like pistols, shotguns, and rifles. One of the more notable weapons is the Sky Hook which can be used as a melee weapon to take down an enemy.
