A free Half Life mod functioning as its own game

Half-Life: Decay Mod is a mod that reinvents the Half-life scenario, pulling it away from Gordon Freeman and focusing on Dr. Gina Cross and Dr. Colette Green. This action game keeps all the familiar game mechanics and settings.

A game built for two

A little like the PS4 game, A Way Out, the Half-Life: Decay Mod was built for two players. You explore the same areas as the original Half Life protagonist Gordon, but you see different monsters, items, equipables, and events. You get to save co-workers that are not featured in the original, and you solve puzzles to try to seal the rift. Enemies are the same as in the original, which suits the tone of the mod.

The two-player problem

This Half Life mod is a two-player game with a problem. If you wish to play on your own, you can either choose a single-player new game, but you cannot save mid-level. Or, you can play both characters, but you have to switch between each character, which can be cumbersome when completing puzzles.

Suitable for people wanting more Half Life

This mod adds a bit of variety to the game and is something to occupy players between sequels. It is aimed at hardcore fans who want to play with their friends. The new puzzles will appeal to most people since they are the freshest element within the mod.

Has its own narrative

Many mods try to take what the original offered and re-jig it, but this mod has a natural narrative. Just like Gordon, the protagonists of this game are also trying to save people and seal the rift. This narrative happens concurrently with the events in Half Life.
