Story: You are Jim, a bicycle courier who was in a crash and was put in a coma. Meanwhile, a group of animal rights activists release infected chimpanzees from the Cambridge research facility in Manchester, because of this the virus spread across Manchester but because of all the fires that broke down during the outbreak, the infected ran away into different cities in England and decimated England in a matter of weeks. The military blockades were overrun and when they tried to evacuate the cities it was already too late, the infection was everywhere. Now there's no government, no police, no army, no tv, no radio, no electricity. Then, 28 days later after the initial outbreak Jim wakes up from a coma and slowly finds out what's going on. Jim then goes on a quest to find his parents.
This mod is based on the horror/zombie movie 28 Days Later. The mod is also sort of a small open world, you can advance or you can explore and scavenge buildings for supplies. The mod will not recreate the whole 28 days later movie in goldsource as that would be near impossible.

Since 2021, Half-Life: 28 Days Later has been in early development. In 2023,
development responsibilities were passed on to two other people.
Meanwhile, The Phoenix Project Software have been developing Half-Life:
Zombies Ate My Neighbours since February 2020. The project has had its ups
and downs, but very recently we have made major strides with the gameplay
and are ready to begin mainline production of the first episode of the game’s
campaign -- Part I: Grave.
Recently, we approached the two developers behind Half-Life: 28 Days Later,
with a proposal to develop the game for the foreseeable future. Our proposal
made it through, we now, The Phoenix Project Software will be developing
this game.
We have seen the previous work to this mod, and how pleased the community
have been with it. We are very glad that this mod has pleased its players,
especially fans of 28 Days Later such as me, and we hope to keep this going.
I realise that some of you may be concerned about our track record at TPPS.
In early 2021, we not only had Half-Life: Zombies Ate My Neighbours, but also
Halloween Horror, Imprisoning Life, Nerf War Simulator and Lost and Dead
Anniversary. While most of these mentioned projects have been cancelled,
we’ve always kept Half-Life: Zombies Ate My Neighbours and its multiplayer
going. With HL:28DL now in our hands, we will assure that a healthy and
balanced simultaneous development cycle will take place over the next few
years.
TPPS has possession of all internal development materials, and we can’t wait
to show you what will do with this mod. Any questions you may have, I may
be able to answer in the comments or the Phoenix Discord. The Phoenix
Community Discord and HL:28DL will have a merger at some point by the
end of the year, but there’s no reason for it to happen immediately.
Another update article for both ZAMNHL & HL:28DL, and an announcement
for another game we have in development will be coming soon.

Here is some 28 Days Later Mods, I played Xash3D and it works just fine.
Its Finnally HERREEEE
The mod also reminds me a bit the movie nightmare city from umberto lenzi
Honestly, having played the demo, this feels like a fantastic mod idea, crippled by its ambition to be faithful to the movie. Throwing up invisible walls so that the player HAS to hit the story beats is really irritating. It results in a really schizophrenic tone where one moment you're given no direction and have to wander the sprawling empty maps aimlessly, to being locked in an invisible box while audio directly from the movie plays. It's also incredibly easy to not play along. I strolled out of the church and had a casual, peaceful walk to the subway while tense music blared in my ears.
Not only that, huge sections of the movie involve travelling long distances over the course of multiple days with little to no contact with infected. The time between Jim meeting Selena and Mark and reaching his parent's house for instance is around 24 hours and they encounter nobody.
For the sake of a fun mod, I personally would drop the movie plot entirely and create a new story within the 28 Days universe, possibly during the exodus when the country was in the height of chaos. More infected, more encounters with strangers, more contact with the overwhelmed army ordered to shoot on sight... More videogame.
Thanks for reviewing. I have to agree with almost everything you've just said, part of the reason the mod was cancelled was because i was unsatisfied with how my hard work turned out. Btw CSTime and Mr. Tophat are working on a whole new version of the mod, i'm excited to see their approach.
My brain totally slipped off that part of the recent article. Sorry to hear you've lost the motivation, but having the introspective to take a step back and consider something less ambitious is a positive thing in the long run.
I look forward to seeing what you do next. :)
Interesting project, I'm rooting for you Stahp
can we get a demo?
some day
