    Kudos to Alan Edwardes for producing a great little mod that’s both polished and enjoyable. The source engine has been used well to create a good-looking game that ran without a glitch except for one problem with an achievement which I managed to fix but was a little annoying. The voice acting is pretty good. The mix of simple problem solving and combat is just right, giving the game aKudos to Alan Edwardes for producing a great little mod that’s both polished and enjoyable.

Overall this is a fun way to spend a few hours and it’s free, so what more could you want?… Expand

    It doesn't really explain a whole lot (but this is Act 1 and I'm assuming there will be more) but this game is essentially a mod for the Source engine (which is what Half Life 2 is built on) that is basically what amounts to a short survival/horror game. I was most impressed by the sound design.

    For being free, you can't go wrong spending an evening playing through this game.    … Expand

    An very fun adventure which is free-to-play and this is only the first Act meaning there will be more. I played the game and found it very fun, a new story, new settings, etc.

    The game is based on the Source Engine which according to some people it is getting old now but I say it still has potential. Anyway the game has a nice story with some cool moments and it is not a long game    An very fun adventure which is free-to-play and this is only the first Act meaning there will be more.

    It's one of the best Half-Life 2 mods ever made, without doubt. It's also a great game on it's own. When I was first downloading it, I wasn't expecting a lot, I thought it was just an ordinary Half-Life 2 mod, but hell, it was lot better than I expected.

    9/10

    It’s not a particularly good horror, but if you’re not fed up with zombies, you can download the first episode for free and spend a reasonably enjoyable evening with it. [03/2014, p.75]
