42 Year have past. Long enough for the world to heal. Long enough to forget the horrors of the war that almost claimed not only our lives, but that of our entire world. From the east came the Empire, their mecha and weapons soon overwhelmed the defenders of the Allied Kingdoms but, they were beaten.
Three warrior from the Kingdom Domen stood against the tide of chaos when no one else could. Wielding the powers of the eight great elements of mana, the heroes beat back the empire. However, the aftermath of what we today call the Second Imperial War was high indeed. The Empire lies in ruins, the allied kingdoms threaten to break apart from within, and Mana, the source of all magic, has vanished.
42 years have past, to the east the Empire stirs, the forests of Domen have turned dangerous, fought with monsters and bandits. Now a new generation takes to the defense of the world for now is the time for the Return to Mana.

"As the world turns the beast stirs, for time flows like a river and history repeats and the time of the return of mana approaches"

The mod's dead?! Aaw!
The environments looked so lush!
Oh wait, but you all already knew that. I'm so very disappointed right now. Only HL2 I was really looking forward to and it's DEAD! :(
From the website:
"The Return to Mana team officially announces:
The project is on ice. From today on we will cease any further production on the title, including everything. We realised that the amount of work is just too much for us and we just couldnt find enough free time.
We wont throw the whole project away, but we definatley dont think it would be fair for anyone in the internet to follow it because we dont want to stick to any deadlines or anything, we want to do as much as we feel like.
Thank you for following our project all the time."
