The Dark Secret Part 1-2 & 3 mod for Half-Life

The Dark Secret Part 1 is a hideous clown car wreck... I've never seen such an underwhelming attempt at a horror mod. If you can't get it to work, don't sweat it, it's really not that impressive. It's not the kind of mod that immerses you, because it makes no sense, and everything is just mildly (if at all) reskinned Half-Life enemies.

There are obscure and hard to figure out puzzles, which I mean I guess is good if you want to test your problem solving abilities, but the solution is usually pretty disappointing. Getting forward is hard, but for the wrong reasons- usually because the way forward is deliberately hidden or full of instant death traps that make you have to reload your last save. It's pretty awful quality... I've seen worse, but that's not saying much.

the part 3 is the best episode without doubt, it reminds a lot the original They Hunger mod ... :D

Its a shame that he/she used alot of maps from They Hunger in TDS3, I mean not just remade them but whole sale copy pasted rooms from it. Which explains the fairly high increase in detail between the 2 mods. I'm not against artistic license but you really should have asked them first before taking maps, and specified that you used their parts of their maps in yours.

I have to say, despite some of the mapping being pretty basic, and the objectives being hard to follow (I got lost in TDS2 where there's some human buried in the cellar?) you still achieved a fairly creepy atmosphere. I guess the fact that there was so little of an explaination for anything that happens is what made it eerie. Good job!
Going to give TDS 3 a try.

So this mod was initially made on the Uplink version of Half-Life and then ported to the full Half-Life version?

Was this mod was originally built in Uplink base?

what does GLSC Failed mean?

srry for my bad english
when ive downloaded the DS 1, the process of hl broke when i tried to start for the first map, then ive made a change of the hl.dll from the game for the hl.dll from my half life.

Theeeen i got able to play, but my screen just works between 4 and 20 fps.
i know my pc hav a poor configuration(celeron M, 1 gb ram) but i got to see arround the map with my wallhack(for a good reason), a lot of models (zombies, hgrunts and agrunts) without a necessary participation in the current map and i guess the reason of my lag is these models filling the memory with the procces of the game.

and i want to tell for the creator of this mod to use a spawn tecnique to the enemies, because idle models arround the map causes glitches, bad frame rate and requires more processment n more memory.

tnx for the attention and for the good fkng mod. lool
