UNION is a short single-player map pack for HALF-LIFE 2: EPISODE TWO set in the aftermath of Freeman's blow at Nova Prospekt. ANTLIONS have broken in and run amok, the Combine forces lay decimated, but an unlikely alliance is forged between a lone surviving PRISONER and an escaped VORTIGAUNT. If they are to break free they will have to rely on one another for help.

It's a step-by-step account of how I designed and built Union. You may find some parts that are spoiler-free, but generally each part of the game is tailored to be experienced in a certain way. I just think reading about it before-hand would detract from that.
