First off, I would like to say “welcome to the development of Offline”. This is a dream of a couple of players that is becoming truth.
Offline, formally known as Offline: Source, is a Half-Life 2 modification using the most new Source Engine at the moment, the Source 2007 engine. You will be introduced to this exciting story behind the eyes of Adrian Shephard, a 27 years old US Marine Corporal, in past assigned to the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) from the fictional Santego Military Base in Arizona. Most part of the game will occur in Offline Corporation, a Cold War military base in Alaska, place for mass destruction weapons, as well as biological tests.
The complex area is hazard to the human being, region waste because of snowfalls and rockslides. The only safe place is underground, where all the experiments are done. The Offline Corporation belongs to the government, but was abandoned after the URSS fall. But even with the abandon of the complex, many experiments from Black Mesa were brought to the Offline facilities, because of the cold place, perfect for freezing life beings.
Now-a-days (2002), the complex does not research anymore. It is only a place for storage, but still high secured. It is self-sufficient, and can control any disasters caused by the experiments with no need of external intervention.
In a secret mission, Shephard must infiltrate, get all the information he can and destroy everything before the government get the experiments back to a new World War.
