I am currently of two minds aboutPost Script, an exploration-based episodic mod forHalf-Life 2: Episode Two. you’re able to get the modhere.

Mind number one says, “this is great — it’s an atmospheric exploration-based game where, not unlikeSmall Worlds, the player isn’t strung along with pointless trinkets or combat.” Mind number two wishes the text-based narrative were gone, or at least less on-the-nose, so the player would have to work harder to figure out exactly what each of the locations meant.

Then the first mind wants to know how the hell anyone could call the story “on-the-nose,” because neither minds know what the heck is going on in this first episode, and only one of them thinks things will get clearer in subsequent installments. The other mind thinksPost Scriptplays like DietDear Esther, and wishes he could have explored the inside of the church. The first mind thinks the second mind is stupid.

Regardless of my own schizophrenic ambivalence regarding the thing,Post Scriptis definitely worth checking out for those who are into unconventional games.
