A lot of good action with great graphics and story. Play it now, because it turned out great. Keep going with the development of new mods Northfell Studios. I am looking forward to finding others that you designed.

It’s just as great as the original! The animation quality is a lot better than before. It’s a really good short mod and pretty fun. Also, are they teasing a sequel perhaps? Nice! Just being honest, because it was a while since I played the original, I didn’t notice too many changes. I’ll have to go back and play it again.
Still a really good mod, the gameplay was fun, the level design was great, and the voice acting was also done pretty well, which isn’t something I’ve seen often. Good work!

A short experience with all the factors of a good Half Life mod, a chase sequence, puzzles and a final combat scenario where you make a mad dash for a train cart – It won’t take you too long to finish this mod, but for the short while you’ll be playing it will have you hooked. It has fairly decent voice acting and the enviroments are gorgeous, definitely a higher quality mod in my list.

A big improvement to the original. It plays more fluent. The voice acting has also improved.
This is my first review and first custom map so here we gooo
The level has some really cool setpieces the story premise is honestly pretty cool and the puzzles made me have a jimmy neutron brain blast moment. The voice acting was neat for a mod and I did get confused at the first half of the mod but overall a very solid experience if this is what to expect from the half-life 2 modding community then yeah I’m 100% down to play a bunch more mods.
