And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
First off: If you dont explore in this game, the game doesn't reward you. It trolls you, actually.
Second: Yes, there is an alternative ending, i found it :)
The two people posting before me didn't explore, the second one was so lazy he even used noclip, and sorry that i have to mention that, but cheating is just lame.
To the game:
This game reminded me a bit of a bad dream or a trip.
It's trolling you all the time and basically, you have to understand how the troll works and defeat the troll (the Jabberwocky).
You can play through the game and have alot of fun being trolled (yes, its fun because you are like "wtf?!" all the time.). But i had the most fun searching for the meaning of all this and most importantly, the second ending.
While exploring the environments i found alot of things like two additional weapons(grenade and smg) and a ton of eastereggs.
Hint: Before you go through the next door or enter new level zones, try going back to places where you have been before,sometimes you find funny things that weren't there b4.
And play around with loading zones. And look at the things you normally ignore because you are conditioned from played too much hl2 ;). Just try stuff.
This game has a really amazing soundtrack which always fits to the whole trippy expierince.
Sometimes, the style looks a bit too much hl2, thats why i give it "just" 8 points.
All in all this game was really fun to me i strongly recommand playing it. I won't say how to get the second ending because that would be boring. If you like this game, try finding it out for yourself ;).
Very unsettling. 10/10
alternative title:
Post-Exposure WTFxis
Post Exposure Prophylaxis is a mod about……something. Well, I know that the title can be related to AIDS, but I think it’s more on the line of “after coming into contact with a virus” in general.
The story is so abstract, I literally have no idea what this mod is supposed to be. I can only tell that it’s about a fever dream, which is the mod’s core in shaping the levels and gameplay. I guess it’s about a zombie virus? I’m pretty sure that most players won’t get it too. But I also find it strangely engaging and how it tackles the fever dream concept. You may have to backtrack for some times and the concept of the dream provides some interesting sequences.
As for the gameplay, you will only use your hammer, pistol, and shotgun. The SMG and grenade only appear once in the mod.
The level design is OK, but I really would love it if some areas are not too long and wide to walk through. I get it’s a fever dream, but it feels like padding in the gameplay perspective.
hard to find more mods like these, wish there were more!
What did I just play? It felt like a David Lynch movie with the only difference that you were the protagonist of the story.
I seldom give a mod 10 out of 10 points, and this mod definitely deserves this. It took me approx. 1 hour to play through it. However, I may try it again to get that second ending and find more of these crazy easter eggs. :-)
Unlike other mods of such kind this one is really nicely made.
Here's the idea:
Level design isn't too good. The driving section was too dark, and the other stuff was essentially rectangle corridors. There's only a few enemies about - you get a few pistol users and shotgunners, as well as some zombies with sounds ripped from zombie panic source.
The story? After breaking out of the world's worst-run prison, you escape outside and find some zombies around. Then, out of nowhere, some demon zombies show up and chase you around a bit. Then you go back to the prison and get killed. That's it and it's about a 15 minute mod.
Still, this is an okay mod - might give a few minutes of entertainment if you're really bored.
