Azure Sheep is a single-player modification of Half-Life made by Italian developers Andrea "Toadman" Butti and Davide "DAV" Cinthao - the founder of DAV Levels. Later they made another mod taking place in the same universe parallel to this one's story named Point of View.Azure Sheep tells the story of a generic Black Mesa security guard Barney or rather "Just Barney" (because with all that recent mess around Black Mesa he can't remember his whole name) and his colleague and love interest Kate, code-named Azure Sheep."Just Barney" didn't want to be a security guard but, you know life, he was led to be one. He had a secret dream, he was writing a novel and... Well, that's another story."Just Barney" had another dream: to become a Hero and save a princess.When the Resonance Cascade occurs he is on duty at one of the entrances to Black Mesa and in the ensuing chaos, his partner Kate goes missing. He decides to venture into the facility to find and rescue her.This mod takes place in a slightly modified Half-Life storyline and thus most of its tropes apply.The story is currently being remastered as a mod for Black Mesa by the HECU Collective team, although as of December 2020 the project is on hold while the team focuses on developing Black Mesa: Blue Shift instead. | |

Heroic Mime: Averted in the remake. Barnes occasionally comments on things that are going on and talks to other characters, using generic Black Mesa security guard voice lines. | |

Adaptational Villainy: The G-Man is portrayed far more evil in here. He's in charge of black-clad Special Forces who are even after original HECU marines. Also one of his hobbies is forcing hapless scientists to conduct illicit experiments on their fellow colleagues. | |

Adaptational Mundanity: In the original, the G-Man's personal army bore a distinctly sci-fi aesthetic and are armed with M1A1 Pulse Rifles, their counterparts in the remake are instead shadow operatives donning all black uniforms and balaclava, and lack a sci-fi feel with them. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Azure Sheep (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: At one point Kate is required to ride an elevator, since the stairs are demolished and NPCs in HL1 can't climb ladders. Due to the infamous elevator glitch, Kate may turn into a particularly chunky kebab as soon as the lift reaches the top. This of course results in an instant Game Over and thanks to the persistent nature of the glitch can make the game completely Unwinnable. | |

Nostalgia Level | |
| Azure Sheep (Video Game) / int_56b5a6b7 | comment |
Nostalgia Level: The level Walking to Black Mesa Inbound (just Walking to Inbound in the remake) involves the player fighting their way through the environments Gordon Freeman passed on his tram ride at the beginning of the original game. The remake takes this up to eleven by following this up with the Ground Zero level - a descent back through Sector C, a miniboss fight beneath the Anti-Mass Spectrometer, and a brief sequence in part of the first level of Half-Life: Decay. | |

Super-Persistent Predator | |
| Azure Sheep (Video Game) / int_ad982e04 | comment |
Super-Persistent Predator: In the fan remake, the Gargantua that you encounter in the interior Black Mesa structure that you temporarily drive away with multiple hummer-based TOW Launchers merely-yet-creatively uses its claw-based flamethrowers to blast into the ceiling. This provides a false sense of security since as soon as you progress through more of the interior areas, it comes back. Even when going across upper areas where even its flamethrowers can't reach doesn't stop it from attempting to throw a freakin' civilian truck at you. You get into an semi-sheltered area above, think you're still safe? Hell no! It climbs to the overlooking area above where you recently escaped from, constantly trying to fry you with its flamethrowers via the openings◊ as you utilize valves to switch off the flames blocking the way forward. It's only after getting a pack of potent explosive mine charges and then setting them around a nearby oil tanker truck and then having them detonate that the accursed beast is finally defeated after said trap detonates in a fashion that has it collapse the concrete walkway underneath it that leads to its death thanks to the electrified pool of water below, killing it for good. | |

| Azure Sheep (Video Game) / int_b3168a4d | comment |
Previous Player-Character Cameo: Both Gordon and Adrian appear at certain points as interactive NPCs. Strangely they only use basic handgun since they're technically derived from conventional security guards. Gordon's cameo is at least partially canon. Adrian however appears completely out of the blue with little to no relevance to the original story. | |

Bespectacled Cutie: Kate's elegant thin-framed specs serve to emphasize her already sweet nature. Averted with Romka's custom fan model which looks completely different and steers towards stereotypically sexy Action Girl instead. Also averted with the Fan Remake where Kate looks considerably less sweet and naive and instead is a case of Stoic Spectacles. | |

Escort Mission: The entire second half of the game is basically this. The original mod also turns an original Half-Life scene into one of these, by having the player babysit Gordon Freeman during the first fight against the assassins at the end of the Apprehension chapter. The remake cuts this out by having the player shot and knocked unconscious just as Gordon arrives. | |

If you're feeling particularly upset you can lead Kate to walk straight into a barnacle's tongue or provoke her to turn on you and run into the barnacle while pursuing you or let a bullsquid chomp on her...
