Master Sword, a first-person MPORPG mod for Half-Life, was first created in 1998 by Dogg and Evaan. For over a decade now, dozens of developers have come and gone, contributing to and expanding the project. When Steam came about, the game looked doomed. But then, in 2005, Kuroneko combined forces with several members of the original team, as well as many new ones, and managed to update it for use with Gabe Newell's new beast, giving the game a full makeover in the process. Since 2005, we've gone from 11 maps, to over 50, from two spells to over twenty, from a dozen weapons to nearly a hundred, and added litteraly thousands of monsters, NPCs, quests, and features.

Probably best described as Morrowind style MRPG under the Half-Life1 engine - although the core game predates Morrowind, that's probably still its biggest inspiration. It's most unique factor is that it's more or less a community built mod - it's had hundreds of hands in it. It's original creators are long gone, but the world has expanded, literally, exponentially in their absence, and there's always new fans, coming around and adding new stuff, that just refuse to let the thing die.

If you just want lore, here's a huge pack of TL;DR:

You have to restart your Steam got be able to work, then you will find the game in your game list in Steam. Do not start it with the hl.exe that doesnt work.
