In Their Own Story

In the events of Human Revolution, Adam Jensen investigates an attack on Sarif Industries by augmented terrorists known as the Tyrants. After being grievously wounded and saved by CEO David Sarif through extensive augmentation, Jensen explores environments connected to city-based hubs. The source notes that interactive objects can be highlighted, though this option is disabled on the hardest difficulty or turned off in the menu. While Jensen encounters heat signatures or outlines behind walls is not mentioned in the text, he does utilize a 'Social' augmentation to read NPC expressions and judge psychological profiles during conversations.

Players can customize Adam Jensen's abilities using items called Praxis Kits, which are bought from vendors, found in environments, or unlocked by leveling up. These augmentations range from passive vision enhancements to active upgrades. The text explicitly states that interactive objects within environments can be highlighted, but this feature is either turned off on the hardest difficulty or can be disabled by the player in the options menu. Players have various approaches to situations: a violent approach using cover and weapons, or a stealthy approach avoiding guards and security devices.
