After-Life 2 is the story of a player moving through a world which is slowly deconstructing around them. It is a struggle for survival not just literally, but also metaphysically. In a first-person shooter, you (the player) inhabit the body of a character in the story of the game. What happens when the character you’re playing knows they’re being played?

Heart of Evil: Napalm Edition (HOE NE) is a remake of the original Heart of Evil.

Heart of Evil was an enjoyable Single Player modification that truly gave the player something different – “a Single Player Half-Life mod that accurately and sensitively depicts the American ‘experience’ in Vietnam, right down to the laces on the zombies boots.”

HOE NE will let veterans and newcomers alike relive that experience.

They put a lot of work into the original concept and we want to it endure.

For that reason we updated the mod as best we can. The source code was released publicly February 1, 2007. Shortly after, we started development. By shortly, we mean months.

HOE NE features updated Models, skins and animations; revitalized Maps with new effects, visual improvements and altered gameplay; tweaked NPC and weapon code.

This is a community project. That means it’s not for profit. All work will be properly credited to its respective owners. This is not a Source project/port.

I have a small confession

Can you reach the end without cheating?

I loved Half-Life 2: Episode Two and I presume you did. Once I became accustomed to the Magnusson Device AKA The Strider Buster I really enjoyed using it but am disspaointed to see that no EP2 mods have used it. Why do you think that is?

Another “Escape” mod. Work your way through various environments to finally reach the Buggy.

I was shown a poem last week that was designed to be read from front-to-back OR back-to-front. I’m not exactly sure whether sections are read in reverse or even how it works but it certainly got me thinking. Would it be possible to do this for a linear level?

With the Gravity Gun, a clever and resourceful rebel and your intelligence, is it possible to escape from the Combine?

Using the airboat and stopping off at certain points, the player must use the sewers to bypass a Combine blockade
