Underhell is a Source Engine game developed by the Underhell Team in collaboration with We Create Stuff. Underhell Chapter 1 requires ONLY Source SDK Base 2007 installed. No Source game is required.
A horrifying experiance this game was.
I loved being able to screw around inside the house and uncover clues and such, however I do love a good jolt of fear when getting into the game a little.
The gameplay: Overall, a wonderful experiance as far as the house goes. Outside of the house and into the wonderful world of violence however, was a little more of a let down. Once you land, you are told to get into a vantage point and watch closely for any activity, of course Id of expected a scare or two, but instead I got an action shooter. I love the concept of mixing a horror with a shooter, it was very well mended with Nightmare House, but so far this game seems only like an action game, when I did expect horror to it.
(Though at the same time, a break from that creepy as hell house is always good.. o-o )
The scares: I like the scares, and how you mixed dreams with the real life such as the infamous bathroom scene, but there is a small variety of scares, and Id love if their were more scenes like the bathroom, or the kitchen.
The house: I love the house, dont get me wrong, but having so many locked doors? To me, the house is big enough. I loved the small rooms and little secrets each room held, but I believe their are 2-3 locked doors you cannot unlock or go into (and I REFUSE to use the Gmod way of things..)
The Player Models: I would deffinetly like to see differnt clothing other then the same old jumpsuit everyone in City 17 (and more) in Half Life wear. Its a good mod, dont let it be another of those mods with the same skins seen before..
The Voice Acting: Overall, I could take it or leave it. Id rather not read the text myself, but at the same time, Id rather not hear some of these characters. I am not saying all are bad, I am just saying maybe put a little more effort into it like we saw in Nightmare House 2.
My rating is pretty decent in my opinion, and this is one of the better mods that are out there. Especially the horrifying house. :)
Cheers!
