Rabbit Hole is a singleplayer mod settled in a surreal place. You start on the surface of the normal city and then get down to its undergrounds. And the deeper you get, the more weird things you discover. The mod is focused on massive combat and horror atmosphere. The gameplay is more quake-ish than classic half-life style, featuring massive zombie arenas and some experimental gameplay sections.

- 10/10 music, really fits the mod
- excellent map structure
- short and kind of useless voiceacting
- infinite headcrabs

not too creative texture use, and the lowgrav part is kind of wierd and frustrating sometimes.

This is supposed to be scary? You're building me up with the slaughter of a thousand CP by pistol for crying out loud. I am unstoppable. And so much ammo...

Okay, maybe it's a little spooky. Builds a solid, if somewhat cliche, atmosphere that's engaging and interesting. Nightmare House 2 vibes.

Combat is chaotic and borderline tedious. I'm a bit of a completist and I don't like wondering if this is an infinite enemy segment and if I need to find an exit under duress. If it was, shame on me for sticking around, but it usually isn't. Bit of a slog at times, but it does create a sense of despair which melds tastefully with the horror atmosphere.

"Surreal" is a good way to put it. Not Picasso wild, but rather an unsettling, uncanny feeling. Custom music mixed in further sells the Twin Peaks avant-garde unease.

Mapping was a little lazy with gratuitous switchbacks and nonsensical areas. Perhaps on purpose to confuse and confound? Lack of forward progression either way which was jarring.

Overall a rough, but well-intended, off-the-beaten-path kind of mod. Worth a play for the unique atmosphere alone.

Amazing mod! I loved the gameplay with the gravitational changes and the rotating cathedral. Fantastic work.

they actually were right!

The design was good and the gameplay was fun for the most part.

But it did suffer from some of the common problems: wearisome waves of enemies and repeated generic props like boxes which I was constantly hacking through.

Also I got lost a few times and had to noclip to get through once I gave up going around in circles. There's not a very obvious sense of direction, especially near the end with all those doors and tunnels.

Good job, though.

Mod is very intresting! Atmosphere amazing - like in real dungeon with monsters! Its realy looks like littel bit looks same with Quake. Music is also good. Good job! Well done!

Wow, very nicely made mod. It doesn't try to wholesomely spearhead a completely new game, which in my mind is a plus since I feel it gave this mod developer realistic goals which he wholesomely achieved.

Funny backstory, I didn't even realize that I downloaded this mod until browsing through my files I saw rabbit.7z, I feel the fact that this mod's sudden appearance on my computer really added to the creep factor built into this mod.

Very nice work, I would not give lower than an 8.

Interesting mod, definitely worth a play.

The low grav part was interesting, but a little tough to master.

Finally some new ideas in Half Life world. Good level design, every level has it's own atmosphere and looks different. Only one think that hasn't been changing it's horde of zombie- non-stop zombie killing could be boring for some players. Another worth praising think is music- completely new soundtrack sounds professional and builds the climate.

The mod starts out kinda average, but suddenly becomes really great.
The later part kinda reminds me of Serious Sam :)
