Union

"The last thing I remember was our train being stopped in the woods. OVERWATCH told me I was needed for questioning, so they locked me in one of those cold pods and stuck me on the next train to NOVA PROSPEKT. I can still see my WIFE watching me drift away.

Now, here I am... Only things are not how I expected them to be. How long have I been unconscious? A few days? A WEEK? Something has gone HORRIBLY WRONG..."

UNION is a short single-player map pack for HALF-LIFE 2: EPISODE TWO set in the aftermath of Freeman's blow at Nova Prospekt. ANTLIONS have broken in and run amok, the Combine forces lay decimated, but an unlikely alliance is forged between a lone surviving PRISONER and an escaped VORTIGAUNT. If they are to break free they will have to rely on one another for help.

I originally released Union in 2008 as a standalone level for Half-Life 2: Episode Two. At the time I was a game design student. Since then I have gone on to work as a professional game designer and indie developer.

You can find more of my work and follow me here on Steam.

Looking back on Union now I can see that it's a bit rough around the edges. You definitely have to suspend your disbelief a fair amount and gloss over the fact that the Vortigaunt calls you "the Freeman" while he recharges your definitely-not-an-HEV-suit.

That said, the Half-Life series has had a defining influence on my work and career and I'm excited to be able to share this level I made over 16 years ago with a new audience. I hope you enjoy it.
