The Dark Secret Part1. The year is 2002 in a small town in England. The name is Smallburg and early one summer morning when a motorbiker stopped by the road did not reach farther. Instead of not turning back, as he should have done...He found a path into the Mount, which subsequently leads to this deserted house. Tesley House.
I was rather disappointed by these two mods.
The First failed to work, since I do not have a WON instal, nor do I wish to seek a WON cd on ebay or amazon.
The second, while I've heard is much better then the first, was infuriating to play.
Some of the enemies are invisible and the game doesn't give me enough health or even ammo to continue in some portions.
Other times, I'm never sure where I should go or what to do. It's actually quite unfair in some portions.
I rarely judge a mod by it's attention to detail negatively, ESPECIALLY on Half-life, but the levels are simply too bare. There's no life in these depressing levels and the only enemies for the most part are invisible and take eons to kill! and everything is too smooth and similar, giving me no direction in open areas and no indication of which door I can interact with. It's all trial and error.
I gave up when I entered the motel, I simply got lost after killing the lone zombie.
I can see that a lot of work went into making this, but I simply don't have the time, will and patience to continue.
Even devoted half-life fans should stay clear.
