Half-Life Alyx Re-Education is a new short campaign mod from Annapurna Level Designer and Environment Artist, Nathaniel Grove (Polygrove).
Most of you will know Annapurna Interactive from titles such as What Remains of Finch, Outer Wilds, Ashen, Journey, Maguette, The Pathless, and of course, the lovely Stray. While the designer doesn't appear to have worked on these titles at Annapurna, it's interesting to see a mod for Alyx created by a professional artist.
As said, Re-Education is a DLC-sized campaign mod that adds around 30 minutes to one hour of gameplay to Valve's Half-Life VR installment. In the short campaign, players are required to find their way back to a train that has been commandeered and halted. It's a lovely-looking and interesting campaign that focuses on environmental storytelling and slow pacing.
"While en route to a safehouse on the outskirts of City 17 Alyx finds her commandeered train has been halted by a Combine barricade", the premise of the campaign mod reads. "She must make her way through a long-abandoned school to access the switch that unblocks the tracks, but the task may prove more difficult than expected..."
