So, my first ever playthrough of Deus Ex. Bought it when it was on sale for like a dollar a week ago and got the Revision mod for it. It's pretty good stuff. There's so much freedom given to the player, feels like all the devs did was write a story and construct the game world and left it at that. The game lets you run wild.

Here's where it gets pretty damn spooky though: I got to mission 11 I think, where you go to the Lower East Side Cemetery to meet Spoiler-Man. Before meeting him, I found a key to the chapel that was just outside the main gate and decide to take a look. Opened the doors and found...fucking nothing. Just some pews and a lectern. I also found a pipe in the wall that I could interact with; and so I did. But I'm stupid, and looked everywhere but behind me for what might have opened, but I'll get to the later.

I go and meet the dude, learn more about the story, and then a squad of fucking shock troopers ruin my goddamn fun. I get out of the building where I met the dude and sneak around the soldiers. I ducked back into the chapel to wait out a patrol, and that's when I see a trap door that was opened by the pipe I messed with. "Oh, a secret area!" thought I, and I promptly dove headfirst into a room that looked like part of a catacomb. Inside there was an elevator that took so long to reach the bottom of the shaft that it felt like I was descending into the pits of hell, and looking back, I was pretty fucking spot-on. So here I was, in even MORE catacombs. Dark as fuck and my bio-energy was running low. Silly me, I didn't hoard flares so I got into a position of "fucked" fairly fast. I go through the creepy-ass tunnels, past a coffin that [i]WAS LAUGHING AT ME[/i] into a large room full of coffins, with one alcove at the end. Turning one of the crosses in the room opened up another hidden room with another coffin; inside was an Ancient Sword. I picked it up, and guess who's back? The laughing douchebag from the coffin. Still disembodied of course. The way behind me shuts, trapping me. I eventually run out of energy so my light augmentation shuts off. Yay.

Thankfully I find a hidden switch in one of the support beams which opens up another trap door sending me even deeper in those bullshit tunnels. Honestly, I half-expected a Minotaur to come running at me as I progressed, but I was disappointed. Instead of a Minotaur were two chicken-raptors manufactured by the Big Bad Company(TM). Put the two bastards to sleep with a healthy overdose of tranq darts from my mini-crossbow(love that thing). Later in the tunnels, I fall through a fake floor, sending me into a pool of water populated by alligator things, also manufactured by the Big Bad Company(TM). Eventually I climb my way back up, and jump across the fake floor. More laughter from the ghostly dickhead. Why couldn't it be Casper instead?

Fortunately, that was the end of the Wild Ride and I took no time at all punching the "up" button on the elevator.

Then I jabbed the shock troopers topside in the neck with my riot prod, and all was good in the world.

Jesus that was longer than I'd thought it would be. Maybe I should turn this into a creepy pasta? I mean, most of the foundation's already there. All I need to do is write a paragraph about the laughing ghosty saying my name and trying to spook me, and describing game mechanics that actually aren't in the game to make it look like my [s]digital [/s] TOTALLY DISC BASED copy is "haunted" or something. Oh, and I could also add that I couldn't find a SINGLE reference to the place when I googled it. The walkthroughs I looked at didn't even give it a passing mention or acknowledgement.  Anyway thanks for reading my stupid story about my first time playing Deus Ex.

TL;DR: I find a spoopy secret area in the first Deus Ex and get spooped out by a spoopy ghost spoop while evading spoopy traps of spoopyness.
