Half-Life: Decay Gearbox Software, Valve Corporation 2008

This is an add-on included in the PlayStation 2 port of Half-Life remade by independent Ukrainian developers for PC with the help of other European developers/fans. The third expansion for the original game, it features two-player cooperative gameplay (in split-screen) with the two female scientists Gina Cross and Colette Green as the protagonists. It is meant to be played with two players at the same time as it is more puzzle-oriented than the original game and the first two expansions. Singleplayer is also possible, but then switching between the two characters is necessary to advance. When not active, the other character is AI controlled for basic actions. It is set at the same time of the events in the original Half-Life, but from the perspective of other characters. All enemies and weapons are based on the original game and many of the missions have a more friendly approach about working together or rescuing NPCs. Unique to the series as a whole is the lack of a single narrative; instead the add-on consists of fixed, separate missions. At the end of each mission, statistics are shown and the player is graded. When the nine levels are completed with an A grade, a bonus mission is unlocked where players control and work together as two Vortigaunts. As an additional bonus, the entire singleplayer can then also be completed as a Vortigaunt. In 2022, Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission, a new, fan-remake by Team Solo of the PS2 exclusive Half-Life expansion "Decay" will be released, with the goal of rebuilding the game from the ground up to function as a seamless, single-player experience. Features: aims to rebuild every chapter from Decay from the ground up, give it a fresh coat of polish, and then retool it all to make for a seamless single-player experience; A newly implemented subtitle system, complete with English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Russian localization; Full support for both the original, and HD pack models; Commentary mode, showcasing the development of Solo Mission.
