Half-Life: Echoes is a game modification of Half-Life created by British developer James "MrGnang" Coburn, released on August 10, 2018.[1][2] The mod was under development for four years and uses the GoldSrc engine.[3]

Echoes is from the perspective of an unnamed scientist from the Black Mesa Research Facility as the resonance cascade happens and has the player fight unused monsters and the HECU with the G-Man and "Kingpin" observing the player.[4]

Gameplay[편집]

As a mod for Half-Life, Half-Life: Echoes is a first-person shooter that differs slightly from the base game. The first part of the game is mainly survival horror, limiting the player's arsenal and introducing monsters, including unused enemies.[5] The second half of the game has the player fight against the HECU Marines.[6]

Synopsis[편집]

Echoes restructures the Black Mesa Research Facility using the GoldSrc engine, and includes more dynamic lighting than the base Half-Life game.

Setting[편집]

Echoes is set in the same location and time frame as that of Half-Life, taking place at a remote New Mexico laboratory called the Black Mesa Research Facility, showing the events of Half-Life from the perspective of a different protagonist. The player assumes the role of an unnamed character, referred to as "Candidate Twelve," a scientist.

Plot[편집]

An unnamed character, only referred as "Candidate Twelve," arrives for work at the Black Mesa Research Facility. The facility has flickering of lights and failing electrical equipment, with tremors shaking it as scientists begin to worry about the experiment. After entering a tram, the "resonance cascade" forces Candidate Twelve to fight for survival as the G-Man observes.[7][8][9][10][11]

Development[편집]

The mod was announced on March 6, 2014 by Coburn on Mod DB, citing the original Half-Life game and user-created mods as a reason to "give back to the community." Coburn stated that the mod was his "first real modding effort," creating a small campaign before expanding it during his spare time.[12] The development took five years to complete before releasing on August 10.[13][14][15] During the development, his child was born with a heart complication and required surgery at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow and recovered. After the mod was complete, he requested all fans who wanted to donate to the hospital.[16]

The mod uses voice lines from the original Half-Life, as well as Half-Life: Opposing Force, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life: Decay, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two.[17][18]

In August 12, 2021, a team of developers announced a remake in Black Mesa called Black Mesa: Candidate Twelve after half a year in production.[19]

Critical reception[편집]

The mod was well received by critics and fans alike. Matthew Byrd of Den of Geek called the mod "something that Half-Life fans should consider playing."[9] For the week of August 18, 2018, it was one of the biggest stories on Mod DB.[20] Liana Ruppert of Comicbook.com said that Echoes had "the compelling storyline, the intrigue - Echoes has it all!"[21] Rick Lane of Bit-Tech called it "a superb, expansion-quality mod, and a must-play for any Half-Life fan."[22]

Half-Life: Echoes placed 3rd for the 2018 Mod of the Year Players' Choice[23][24] and was an honorable mention for the 2019 Mod of the Year.[25]

No new voice acting, however I have lines from Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Decay, and even unused lines from these games to fill the dialogue. Some of it is used in new contexts or spliced up to make it seem fresh. Expect a lot of little conversations to hear if you choose to stop and listen :)
