The world map screen.

The world map is shown in the game when the player is not currently in a mission. It shows the following information:

• The number of in-game hours remaining.
• The number of in-game days since the start of the game.
• The number of credits belonging to the agency.
• The agency's “net worth” — the total value of all agency assets.
• The mission type, corporation, mission difficulty and travel time for each available infiltration target.
• The current location of Invisible's stealth jet.

The player can take the following actions from the world map:

• View information about a possible infiltration target.
• Infiltrate a target to begin a mission there.
• Open the Upgrade Agents screen.
• Read or delete previously-acquired datalogs.
• Open the game menu to save and exit the game, or change settings.

The number of “hours remaining” shown on the world map screen is the number of in-game hours before either the Research Facility mission in the extended campaign, or otherwise the OMNI Mainframe mission. These hours are “used up” when you travel to a mission; it is also possible to travel to a mission when the journey time is more than the number of hours remaining, in which case the hours remaining are reduced to 0.

In addition to the number of in-game hours remaining, the world map screen also shows a real-time clock, but this is purely cosmetic — the in-game hours remaining only change when you travel to a mission.
