Remind me, what was that? The original DX had the mole people under the New York City metro.

Yup!

I mean, there was a lot going on down there. If you ever find yourself browsing Prague real estate, definitely inquire about secret doors in the basement, trap doors, tunnels, and the like! If there's stuff missing in the pantry, you want to be able to rule out your neighbors.

If this happened in MD, it's definitely a callback to DX.

It's not just the mole people in NYC -- there's an entirely-skippable base early in the game that clues you into bigger things happening.

You can pick up its existence by talking to the mole people. (From memory)

Edit: Ha, "These tunnels aren't on the New York City sewer maps... weird" really takes me back.
