DON'T YOU GUYS DARE TL;DR THIS!!!!
HFS! This is a REALLY underrated mod! That was incredible. The foreboding atmosphere was effectively accomplished via powerful color correction a midst a minimalist ambient soundscape! The large dreary corridors added to a despair-inducing sense of isolation, as the player is forced to traverse a seemingly depressing backdrop.
The gunplay was tough, but fair. I especially like how scarce ammo and health is -- it adds to a sense of survival horror. I died on multiple occasions on the massive fight scene, BUT IT WAS NOT FRUSTRATING AT ALL (Played on HARD). It was intense, but balanced -- although I don't know how exactly you pulled it off, it was incredibly satisfying post-fight.
In summary, this mod boasts of incredible design! The authentic scares, the mapping (DAT ARCHITECTURE), the colors, the lighting, the scripting, gameplay elements -- i.e. explosive barrel placement, supplies scarcity, etc... ALL meticulously studied and effectively applied. The custom weapon models and sounds were of a psychological significance too (i.e. the pistol had a more fuller fire sound; I found it more reliable and deadly, regardless of the fact that I know that the stats are unaltered(?).) Also, and this is VERY important, your attention to little details is astounding -- a superior use of stock content. With a simple sound replacement here and there, the mod felt like a completely different game with such little effort.
This was An ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC experience for me. I found myself completely immersed throughout the entirety of the mod. It was short, but definitely not hanging. To the people who are actually reading this. Download the mod. PLAY THE **** OUT OF IT. NAO. This man deserves a medal. GOSH DARN.
