This shrine is dedicated to Deus Ex, an award-winning cyberpunk immersive sim developed by Ion Storm Austin under the direction of Warren Spector and my favorite greatest game of all time.
Just like in the main website, don't forget to hover on cursive text.
In Deus Ex, you play as JC Denton, an agent of UNATCO (in-game equivalent of the Homeland Security) agent, fighting terrorism and uncovering conspiracies in a world where conspiracy theories are real.
There's a common misconception about Deus Ex, spread by people who haven't played the game, that "Deus Ex predicted 9/11 or COVID-19 pandemic", but this is not true, as 9/11 never happened in the game and Gray Death is a manmade virus spread on purpose.
Deus Ex actually predicted the Patriot Act (which includes massive surveilance, as discussed in Deus Ex, i.e. dialogue with Morpheus A.I. and briefly mentioned from Jock), War on Terror, corporations owning, if not controlling everything (Leo Gold's dialogue about consolidation, the NSF prisoner's argument at UNATCO, as well as brief mention from Jock about network centralization) and people's obsession with AI (Morpheus and Helios dialogues, mention from Paul Denton or Gary Savage about people obeying AI. There was more to AI in a sequel: Deus Ex: Invisible War, but this shrine is about the original game, not the rest of the games).
