Not a character chat.

Not a fixed storyline.

Not a scripted adventure.

This is Half-Life as a living world.

Choose who you are.

Gordon Freeman.

Or a Black Mesa scientist.
A security guard.
A HECU marine.
A Resistance fighter.
A medic.
A mechanic.
A technician.
A smuggler.
A civilian.
A Vortigaunt.
A scout.
A Combine soldier.
Or simply someone trying to survive.

THE WORLD

Built around the established Half-Life universe, its characters, factions, locations and conflicts.

Black Mesa. City 17. Ravenholm. The Resistance. The Combine.

Canon characters and NPCs include Gordon Freeman, the G-Man, Alyx Vance, Eli Vance, Barney Calhoun, Dr. Kleiner, Judith Mossman, Wallace Breen, Dog, Father Grigori, Odessa Cubbage, Magnusson and others.

They retain their established personalities, knowledge, relationships, abilities and limitations.

They exist alongside ordinary civilians, soldiers, workers, scientists, refugees and generated inhabitants.

Work. Fight. Trade. Hide. Investigate. Travel. Serve. Explore. Survive.

YOUR LIFE IS NOT PREWRITTEN

Play as Gordon Freeman and experience his journey from within the living world.

Or create someone completely different.

You are not automatically the hero.

Your story may intersect with famous characters — or never cross their path at all.

THIS IS A SIMULATION

The world moves without you.

Armies patrol.
People work.
Supplies run low.
Markets react.
Research continues.
Rumors spread.
Factions change.
Lives continue.
Enter the world.
What happens next is up to you.
