Background info:

THRESHOLD: EPISODE ONE is a single player modification for Half Life 2 taking the best elements of action games, and combining it with scary parts in survivor horror games in a thrill ride that will be distributed episodically to Gamers through download. THRESHOLD mod will be developed more like a TV show. Therefore there will be a constant thinking about the next episode's content on the player's mind from new gameplay scenarios, new environments, and beyond.
Story Background:

*Note: THRESHOLD takes place in the Half Life 2's universe, but none of the characters will make an appearance. This is a totally different sight passage that takes a completely different path. The Combine conquering earth is just a setup for the mod to have a historical setting and atmosphere.

THRESHOLD: EPISODE ONE, takes place in City 13 where the player gets the role of the protagonist Mark Madsen. Mark Madsen is a City 13 underground rebel volunteering a hand in the struggle fight against the combine. After being captured by civil protection unit he boards a combine dropship on his way to Nova Prospekt. During the transfer the combine dropship crashes into the outskirts of Gravesent (Haunted town) leaving him the only remaining survivor of the crash. Mark Madsen must now report to the closest underground outpost station located North East of Gravesent . Mark Madsen must now go through Gravesent, and use the vault that has not been opened for decades to take him to the outpost station in the underground sewers. The Combine has also sent a group of there elite soldiers to Gravesent to investigate the lost in transmission with the Combine Dropship.

And you thought Ravenholm was forbidding...

It’s Halloween! We are working hard! Today, I skipped my University class to work on the maps. I was glad because I managed to achieve lots of stuff. The First level is pretty much done just minor script bugs that will be fixed after posting this quick update. The good news is that we are working full throttle! The bad news is there won’t be any updates until mid January. This is for the better as we are setting up to have a big News update sometime after the holidays. So stay tuned for a Couple of new screenshots, a video demonstrating “Seek the Light”
gameplay. It’s definitely going to be something!

We once dropped this project in 2007. We have a new attitude toward our project and we are taking it seriously. This is a guarantee that this mod will be available for download sometime in the near future sooner than Half Life 2: Episode 3 of course. This mod will not be abandoned again.

Thank you all for your emails. Much appreciated!

Happy Halloween everyone, and thanks for watching the mod!

Foreboding is a more impressive word than forbidding.

Hey man! Sorry to see you are getting all mad...but this mod was created way before 4 months ago...check the old website at Freewebs.com if you dont believe me..
(we abandoned this mod for a while but coming back to it because we made a mistake).So in that case I should be the one concerned :) which I am not :) name doesnt matter my friend, We all just want people to enjoy our mods. nothing more ;)

Hello! Well there is no update other than re-activating the modd! We were not working on this project for a long while and learned our lesson. Keep watching as we will work hard to get it out sometime in March 2010 :)

We have a new website design that will be up and running in the next few days. It will replace our current website and will be a huge transformation. [EXTREME MAKEOVER, WEBSITE EDITION)
