Synthesis of Corruption

Very fun "what if Half-Life 1 but all horror" little game. Short and nicely paced. The horror aspects are more akin to Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein (not so much RE). The only 2 minor gripes I had with it were: *Critical items can be very hard to spot in the clutter, but maybe that was totally intentional. Certainly after your first hour-or-so of playing, you will start to pay more attention after having noticed this [i]design characteristic[/i] yourself -hopefully-. *Movement can be kinda awkward and inconsistent, particularly during platforming. Being this a Half-like, you would expect crouch-jumping to be a thing, and it kinda is, but also kinda not, sometimes it feels like you kinda have to trick the game engine into achieving this sort of thing. Overall: if it looked interesting to you, I would say GO FOR IT.

I enjoyed it, its not as deep as i'd like but its a nice speculative take on what if Half-Life had tried to be like Resident Evil instead of only somewhat inspired by it

Half-Clunk.

Yup, that's short Half-Life 1 combined with horrors of Silent Hill 1, puzzles of Resident Evil 1 and ,,rusty orangeness" of Half-Life 2 Beta. That's just cool, I can't add anything more.

Basically Half-Life if it was a full on survival horror game. Except it´s much shorter, and it´s equivalent of Xen doesn´t suck. Although if you´re going for that 100% completion, be ready to do a fair amount of cheesing.

Great little game that wears its influences on its sleeve. Well worth the walk through just to experience a bit of nostalgia and great usage of retro graphics. Looking forward to the next opus in this series!
