In an alternate universe, set during the Seven Hour War, you find yourself plunged into the depths of an abandoned Aperture facility. Abyss explores the failed ambitions of the once-flourishing company, and the legacy it left behind. As the war rages above, you as the player will be confronted not only to the imminent danger it poses, but also to the existential nightmare from which it all started as you are taken deeper into the facility than ever before. Your choices have consequences, and your actions dictate your survival -- or lack thereof.

I really like the scenery and general architecture of your maps! And the lighting is suberb.
But, bear in mind that the equipment shown to the right and the capsules in the back were designed for human use probably months or years after the invasion and certainly not during the 7 Hours War. That's also the reason why there are no human soldiers or elite soldiers during this time. And even if they had developed them prior to the invasion (if they have captured/experimented on humans during the portal storms period), I doubt they would set them up immediately.
Nevertheless, I really like your concept and the story itself. I really wish more mods would focus on this timeline of Half Life's storyline. I wish you the best of luck with Abyss. Cheers! :)
Fair point. Things might change as the development continue. However it will remain like this until we get some talented modeller(s)
Right now, let's just say that the Combine planned the invasion at least a year in advance and wanted to turn the humans into the stalkers to create slaves or soldiers.
