The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.
Feel free to browse ourcollection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking atsome stubs and see if you can help us out. Just have some faint memory of some unused menu/level you saw years ago but can't remember how to access it? Feel free to start a page with what you saw and we'll take a look. If you want to help keep this site running and help further research into games,feel free to donate.

Deus Ex is the rare combination of several genres, real-life conspiracies, loads of content to explore, and captivating environments.
The game was also highly ambitious, with development spanning several years. Not only are there plenty of cut concepts, but also plenty of concept art and screenshots from early versions of the game. The released game also contains slews of cut conversations, loads of unused textures, and some tidbits from cut levels.
