Free Mod: Estranged: Act I (Half-Life 2 Mod)

80

Estranged tells the story of a lone fisherman, whose ship is stranded on a mysterious island during a violent storm.

Explore the rich environments and meet the curious inhabitants of the island as you find a way back to the mainland. Face both danger and intrigue in this perilous adventure, where you will soon find that not everything is as normal as it seems.


Original Gameplay and Story - The game features around an hour of story driven gameplay. It includes a completely original cast, with a carefully crafted script to bring the Estranged world to life.

Amazing Graphics - Estranged is built on the same engine Half-Life 2 runs, with some additional features. We have extended the dynamic lighting system to allow us to illuminate our levels in a realistic manner, and have included effects such as film grain and lens flare to help create the atmosphere for the game. There is also a feature for higher end systems called Phong, which allows us to show reflections on walls in-game similar to how they would appear in real life.

Original Soundtrack - The soundtrack was written especially for Estranged, and was designed alongside the game's levels. The music matches gameplay, and helps to bring together the atmosphere in Estranged to bring the story to life.

Please note: This game uses some assets from Half-Life: 2. The two worlds are unrelated, and Estranged is not associated with the Half-Life franchise or Valve Corporation.

    This isn't exactly a bargain is it? since its a free mod?

    • Well, I consider everything that costs substantially less than it's worth to me as a bargain. Question is, is this worth more than $0.00?

      Sounds pretty interesting to me. And $0 and an hour is not much to invest and find out…

  • Looking through the forums, it seems Act 1 is actually free (meant to be), however the rest will cost $$$. Similar to other games like Haunted memories first episode of which is also free, but upcoming episodes are paid.

    If you liked Black Mesa, you'll enjoy it. Has a similar lonesome/impossible odds feel. Yes, there is shooting, it's not purely a puzzle/adventure game.
    Developed by one guy; Alan Edwardes.

    Felt sort of like Alan Wake meets Penumbra or S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
    Latest Source Engine incarnation with all the eye candy and a brilliant soundtrack (just like Black Mesa's).

    More proof that free games can be great (aside from the "free-to-play/pay-to-win" types).
