Radiator is a series of experimental semi-episodic short-form single player mods for Half-Life 2 with unorthodox gameplay mechanics used to artistic ends - the first person shooter without any shooting. It follows a semi-episodic release schedule: each "volume" is divided into three (3) issues released over several weeks.

Radiator 1-1, Polaris Radiator 1-1, Polaris 

Issue 1 of Volume 1 is Polaris, in which you're stargazing in central California on what could totally be both the lamest and the cheapest date ever.

This is one of the best mods I've played recently. So simple, yet so deep. Good job!

I kind of wish I hadn't playtested this several times already. ;-) It's an excellent little project.

Technically very impressive, and quality visual style. Just a bit repetitive, almost could have been shorter. I look forward to next episode.

From what I'm reading, this is basically an interactive novel. But I don't think I can fathom something without some darkness or any of the existing gameplay variants to it.

This mod was great fun, but very short, can't wait for July for the other 2 in this pack!

Only one thing, why'd you guys chop up the music for the iPod!

It was a pleasant way to spend 40 minutes (download included). Check out all the different endings, play it through again for fun. All in all, a nice break from adrenaline-pumped FPS mods.
