Questions about the mod Nightmare House 2

[Alcoholic]

The mod holds up well even to this day. It seems like the devs wanted to make a good plot and to some extent they did, however, i still didn't understand some things in the storyline. Maybe someone can explain them:

1. In the Prologue, why are there zombies inside the house? There were only Dr. Romero and Emily before the house was abandoned.

2. How did Emily know exactly that Dr. Romero was hiding in the Hospital? And how did she plan everything out? I mean, how did she expect that a random person would crash his car in front of their old house and then the same guy will go unconscious only for the ambulance to pick him up and take him to the Hospital where Romero appears to be hiding?

3. Why doesn't the Core affect Dr. Romero?

4. After encountering standard Zombies for the first time, Romero will appear on the screen and say something like "People left here long ago or turned into these things". And he isn't lying because he confirms this in his journal you can read at the end of the game. So those people who left, why haven't they ever returned? And if they knew about the zombies, why didn't they notify the authorities about it? Remember, the SWAT team you encounter later confirms they have been tracking Romero independently and if multiple hospital staff confirms the zombies existence to the police, you are damn bound to come back with an army.

5. Creepers (reskinned Fast Zombies) are said to be hallucinations created by the Core. So why can they hurt you and your buddies? Especially because the first ones you encounter are early in the game and you aren't close to the Core at all. Not to mention that Emily is doing everything she can to protect you from the Core.

Because there isn't a community for the mod, thus i have nowhere to ask.

You should totally check the mod out, it is really one of those high quality ones

A lot of questions to be answered...from what I remember about this mod is that it started as a plain single player map for Half-Life 2. Subsequently, it turned into a full mod.

The prologue of the mod is actually the aforementioned HL2 map but remade completely while retaining the horror elements with more detailed atmosphere.

I don't remember the plot that much because it's been awhile since the last time I played it but I'm sure you can get your answers in its ModDB page:

i wonder how far the modders pondered all those plot elements. doubt it was more than a pretext for a funny mod.
