And if you miss or forget any of these guiding points, you’re usually out of luck as they won’t be repeated to you.īeyond the visual walls, the visual language of the HL2 games is broken which also led to confusion and frustration. The objectives are usually communicated via on-screen text, but in one crucial case, it’s voice guidance – but from behind a normal opaque window that does not look any different than scores of other windows in the city besides an easy-to-miss light outside the window.

Somehow I was being restrained to only where the author wanted me to go, but usually at the same time my objective wasn’t terribly clear. That, plus the open design (particularly in the city streets), led to a lot of frustration on my part. There are a ton of invisible walls that block you from exploring areas that might have been interesting or even the way “forward” that you’re often searching for.

This mod looks fairly fresh, owing in no small part to borrowed assets – but it’s really the flow that brings the experience down. When you reach the city, you start to get where the mod title comes from – but the spookiness really only starts to ramp up later on, once you’re inside the hospital. It’s a pack of 3 maps that are fairly different in setting and mood.

The Replay Experience Experiment aka TREEįor a first release this is certainly decent.
