A downloadable game

Note: You'll need to have played Chapter 7 of Half-Life:Alyx in order to play this level. 

To play this Steam workshop add-on, see the steps in this video to use the workshop link here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2937523553 


Concept

In Half-Life:Alyx, Jeff is a blind zombie who only reacts to sound. In the original game, bottles are provided liberally in a distillery for players to distract Jeff as they progress through the level. 

In my level mod for the 5-rooms Level Design Jam, you'll discover more physics objects that can get Jeff really riled up.  The structure:

  1. Room 0.5: Going up the ladders to the roof hatch triggers a combine solider to engage the player.
  2. Room 1 & 2: Meet Jeff, who seems to be locked up in a room. Solve the puzzles to move on - Jeff will be following you!
  3. Room 3: Jeff has a surprise for you! This time, things might get claustrophobic
  4. Room 4: Get what you need in a relaxing room. The puzzles here are easy, really.
  5. Room 5: Decide Jeff's fate. Do what you need to leave this place.

More playtesting will be requested from other players after this jam. I'll definitely be updating this mod.

Known issues/things to fix:

  • Room 0.5: The combine solider is visible but clipped, which is not intended. I meant for the solider to be out of sight.
  • Room 2: The explosive wall sometimes do not explode when hit with a grenade.
  • Room 1/2: The metal platform on the mezzanine floor is not visible from the ground floor when looking up. 
  • Room 2: When Jeff leaves the room and moves into the corridor, he'll get clipped into wall.
  • Room 3: The electric/reviver headcrab sometimes do not get rendered for the first 2 seconds
  • Room 3: Jeff reacts way too much to the sound of breaking bottles
  • Room 3: Jeff does not always leave the room after the explosive wall is broken.
  • Room 5: If the tripmines are disabled, Jeff can leave the place but there's no scripted sequence made for him yet.
