July the fourteenth, 1883: Being rather rudely awakened after a night of drunken revelry; Half-Rats is thrust into a rather dire situation. Utter calamity has erupted in the streets outside of the general store which he calls home - calamity of the most unnatural and horrific kind, that is. Now he and the shop keeper, Mr. Trask, must hold out against this infernal host of creatures together. Will they survive the night?

Half-Rats: Parasomnia Demo

Wanna' skip the article and get straight to gaming? Click the button above!


IMPORTANT: DELETE "game_menu.tga" and "game_menu_mouseover" IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE.


The Whiskey, Meat pies and Colt Peacemaker are back, baby! But this time better than ever. And they've brought a few new friends!

So, take Silent Hill, F.E.A.R. and Half-Life, mix them all together and take them back to the Victorian era...what do you have? We'll do the math for you! The answer? "Half-Rats: Parasomnia" - the second installment of the Half-Rats series. Half-Rats is back with a new inventory system, "realistic" drunkenness simulation and the new creed of, "shop 'till you drop!". Well, not overtly...but you now have the ability to purchase items with cash you find along the way.

That's not all - Half-Rats now has new, cooler enemies to play with, and a reinvented melee combat system...You know what? Why am I trying to convey this with words of all things? Just check out the videos and pictures!

Heath Games in no way supports animal cruelty...unless it's virtual! Someone call PETA!


Now that's lots of fun, eh?

We at Heath Games poured our blood, sweat and tears into "Half-Rats: Parasomnia", but we're not done yet! Just you wait until the full version. We have such things to shew you! Such surprises!

We STILL need heads, by the way...

"In order to obtain heads, I'd like YOU, yes you to send in some photographs of yourselves. GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME. Literally. Due to the UV projection I use, I will need a straight-on frontal shot of your face and neck, as well as a profile shot. I'll need it in diffused lighting - such as outside on an overcast day. Get one of your friends to snap these photos; or if you are particularly skillful, but at the same time, a loner and/or rebel, do it on your own-some. Poor Nic will have the displeasure of rigging all these heads onto the bodies. Our prayers are with you, child.

Having second thoughts about this? Are you self-conscious? Wanted by the FBI? Be like Devan, our resident voice actor - the famous voice of both Pvt. Barnaby and Mr. Trask. You wanna' be cooool like him, right? He achieves things in life. Why? Because he works hard, and let's people do things like use his head/likeness in video games. You can be like him! Give in to peer pressure today! SEND ME YOUR SOULS!"

Phipehead


Phipe's head. Be like Phipe, too.


That was a quote from the last news article. PM me (Half-Rats) if you're interested.

Animals! (For future)

Animals that DON'T want to rend your body will indeed be a thing in HR:P...See below!

HALFCAT2


HR:P will include a Combat Cat, or "C-squared", or "CC"...or "Most Sagacious Feline Fighter". Whatever its distinction; Half-Cat is based on "Cheroots", a cat of mine that was killed last year during the development of HRAFD. This is my way of immortalizing him. The texture/skin was made from the few photos I had of him. He will of course be a friendly NPC that will assist in combat...in case you didn't catch that before.

Horsingaround

Half-Rats' swanky ride...and abuse magnet.

mule


A stubborn, filthy Mule creature. Both the Horse and Mule are re-textured and borrowed from the defunct Maverick Developments' "Wanted!" by yours truly.

Once again, thank YOU. I'd also like to take the time to thank my team mates. NONE of this would be possible without you! Thanos, Osiris, Devan, Cliffy, and the late Alejandro.

This looks like a really cool mod! Is it necessary to have played the first game to play this demo? Will anything make sense? I plan on playing the original soon but I wanted to check this out since it is new. (Also, congrats on the successful mod! It looks great and I look forward to trying it)

Just played the demo it has a lot of promise for the real deal but my only complaint the cocaine when you take that stuff, it makes you run fast like a sonic the hedgehog I understand it's purpose but could you reduce the speed so that the player can control it. Other then that the demo was awesome and can't wait for the final game. :D

And YOU'RE WELCOME for pointing out the bugs in the original release of the demo. Sadly, on the computer I'm using, I can't play it now X( BUT this weekend I will/should in fact be able to! I am incredibly excited for it! P.S. Poor Half-Cat...
