Deus Ex: Human Revolution/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|Hyron. Just look at some of the sentences it leaves at the bottom of its official messages, and what it is [[Powered By a Forsaken Child|powered by.]]}}

* {{spoiler|The experiments mentioned by the former White Helix employee, of which Adam was the only survivor. Adam was a baby at the time.}}

* Two of the scariest areas for some were the room in the {{spoiler|FEMA}} facility immediately preceding Barrett's fight and the dissection rooms in {{spoiler|Omega Ranch}}, both of which embodied [[Nothing Is Scarier]]. The first has a corridor which, at first glance, appeared to be filled with large crates. But, on closer inspection, it turned out to contain ''hundreds of inactive boxguards'' (read: combat robots eight feet high and wide when ''compacted''). None of them activate, but they keep making ''noises''. And in the dissection rooms? All those signs about handling 'subjects' and avoiding contamination, and obviously there's ''something'' on the tables, and just as obviously those 'somethings' ''are not human''.

* While hardly the scariest thing you'll ever encounter in gaming, Adam's initial steps into {{spoiler|the Picus building}} is incredibly unnerving. Having Adam walk through the pristine but recently evacuated and empty news room of the world's largest media conglomerate, spilt coffee and all, is just plain ''creepy''. Especially when you start reading emails from employees who've been told to pack up and leave in a hurry...

*** Well, yeah, but that doesn't really take away from the creepiness. Like walking into an amusement park's haunted house. You ''know'' it's only people in costumes and special effects, but hell if you aren't on edge and freaked out anyway.

* This is quite a stupid one actually, but while playing ''The Missing Link'', I noticed that a lot of the captives in the cryogenic storage were captured via Belltower recruitment drives. The concept itself is bad enough. However, to make it worse, Belltower is often of shorted to BT, and one of the captives was captured in London. I live in London, and my partner works for British Telecom ([[Don't Explain the Joke|Commonly known at BT]])...you do the math. [[Paranoia Fuel|I almost phoned him to make sure he was ok]].

* Speaking of previous [[Nothing Is Scarier]] moments, {{spoiler|Panchaea before the confrontation with Darrow}} is all about this. Blood stains are on the wall, corpses are on the floor, and various booby traps are laid everywhere just to prevent other horrors from breaching an area. While the previous levels that were seemingly void of enemies at first had a reasonable, calming reason ("Hey, at least they bothered to evacuated!" in one instance, likely because of a suspicion of ''you'') for being completely deserted, the fact that you ''know'' something horrible has happened, and is ''still'' happening here is a different sensation. Especially the ambient sound. Just listen, and you'll hear insane rambling coming from seemingly nowhere mixed in between the otherwise fairly silent background. The one time you meet {{spoiler|an insane augmentee}} is from an extremely obvious, barricaded room with only one entrance, and by then you're shuddering at how many others are nearby, just lurking out of vision... And then you actually see hordes of them, everywhere.
