Perhaps game developers did not base their designs on real-world scenarios, but that is beyond the scope of this theory. There are very few direct clues in the game, and because of the reuse of assets, many details conflict with one another (such as electrical outlet standards on many maps not matching those of their respective regions):
(Except for the Type I plug in the distribution box in the garage, all built-in outlets are Type E.
It appears that the developers have included Type E standard outlets and Type F standard power strips as default assets.)
To make matters worse, even natural factors aren’t necessarily entirely accurate, but in any case, this theory takes natural factors as its main point of reference. So first, let’s see the safe house’s approximate location based on the lighting conditions there.
Therefore, it is highly likely that 47 resides in the longitude range between Tokyo and Sydney and the surrounding areas; unfortunately, none of these places use Type E plugs. Next, we’ll see the vegetation near the safe house.
Trees near the safe house typically have the following characteristics: coniferous forest, straight trunks, deeply fissured bark, relatively sparse canopies, and leaves that change color—this is most likely some type of larch. However, larches typically grow in the Northern Hemisphere. There are no native moist deciduous coniferous forests in the Southern Hemisphere, although there are planted deciduous coniferous forests on New Zealand’s South Island. However, the native vegetation of the South Island is more similar to that of Hawke’s Bay than to the vegetation near the safe house. Furthermore, the mosses and ferns near the safe house are very lush, indicating that humidity is certainly high; therefore, the location does not appear to be in New Zealand. If we assume that the sun’s position is incorrect (which is indeed the case on many maps), then we must turn our attention to the Northern Hemisphere—in which case, the safe house could be located in the high-altitude mountains of eastern Siberia, the northern Greater Khingan Range in China, central Honshu in Japan, or the U.S. Midwest and East Coast. The longitudes of the first three locations roughly correspond to those of Tokyo and Sydney (which aligns with the times shown on the world clock). Observing the vegetation near the safe house, we can see plants resembling daisies, false Solomon’s seal, and ferns; among the four locations mentioned, the one that best matches the local vegetation distribution should be central Honshu, Japan. Although the high-altitude mountainous regions of eastern Siberia feature alpine lakes and false Solomon’s seal (Maianthemum), they have a cold, dry continental climate. At high elevations, the landscape is dominated by fir forests and shrublands; the air is relatively dry, and mosses are far less abundant than in moist forest understories. More crucially, the red-tinged autumn fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) is completely absent from this region. The northern Greater Khingan Range in China has a cold climate; although the soil tends toward brownish tones, it belongs to the cold-temperate permafrost/brown coniferous forest soil type. Mosses are present, but the environment is relatively cold and dry; the autumn fern is distributed only as far north as the Yangtze River basin, and simply cannot reach the Greater Khingan Range. The U.S. Midwest and East Coast: humid air, abundant mosses, and brown soils (Alfisols) do indeed match the description, and daisies and false Solomon’s seal (Maianthemum) are also native in large numbers. However, the autumn fern is not native to the wild in this region—it has only been introduced for horticultural purposes. Among native ferns, there are no species exhibiting the typical color-changing trait, so this argument does not hold. In contrast, central Honshu, Japan—with its oceanic monsoon climate—has consistently humid air, extremely abundant mosses under the forest canopy (Japan is renowned for its “moss” culture), and moist temperate brown forest soil (brownish). Furthermore, daisy-like plants, false Solomon’s seal (Maianthemum japonicum and M. bifolium), and the red-tinged autumn fern (Dryopteris erythrosora)—which features red-tinged new leaves—are all native to the region. There are also “not particularly large” lakes such as Lake Suwa, Lake Chūzenji, and Lake Kawaguchi.
Therefore, this safe house is most likely located somewhere in central Honshu, Japan. And it seems that 47 could easily go to GAMA for treatment. This is just my guess, feel free to leave a comment below.
