I'm not really a fan of mods based on original half-life story. But i tried and i haven't regret it. i strongly recommend you to try this one out too.

So the story is basically half-life 1 from a different perspective.

I like the fact that the voice lines were reused from the other half life games. I'm not spoilering but at some point it looked like the voice lines were made specifically for this mod. +1 point for immersive aspect of the mod.

Custom animations for NPCs are also worth mentioning.

The mod is kind of straight-forward. There is not a lot to explore beside the main plot. The only reward for investigating, for instance, women's WC, is the weapon you would otherwise get later anyway.

To cut a long story short, solid 9. Hope this review will help you to decide whether to play this one or not. Cya!

Posting this in 2023. I'm quite impressed by the fact that such a good mod was made such a long time ago. Not that I wish to imply there are no good mods right now but this... This impressed me alot.

I can't help pointing out the fact that the author knows for sure how to "play" with you. Well placed jumpscares, right-behind-you zombie spawns and the design make the playthrough unforgettable.

Also worth mentioning. The ammo management... This is probably the only con I could find. I'm dead sure most of my playtime I've spent swinging my knife and not firing any weapon. Just to save the ammo. It might be the problem with Hard difficulty. Don't know for sure whether this problem occurs while playing Easy or Normal difficulty.

Multiple endings, custom weapons and cosy level design. All that combined results in the best mod for half-life. At least for me. I strongly recommend to try this one out, you won’t regret it.

If you’re asking yourself whether you should play this mod or not, the answer is definitely yes. There is nothing special about the level design, weapons and enemies may seem unbalanced. But the aspect that I love this mod for is the atmosphere. I mean, just imagine playing as a sheriff in a wild-west-like surroundings. Definitely worth your time!
