Half-Quake (Video Game)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Some of you would expect some sort of crossover of Half-Life and Quake from the name alone.note And we're not talking about Deathmatch Classic here. The last time someone thought the same has been reduced into Ludicrous Gibs, far from the last person that would suffer such fate. Sounds harsh? Only for those uninitiated to how the bunch of Austrian mad men that run this Half-Quake facility roll.Anyway, Half-Quake is a series of Half-Life Game Mods conceived by Philipp "MuddaSheep" Lehner and his friends that are designed to be as sadistic as the developers could think of. Each of them have the setup of your Featureless Protagonist showing up in a mysterious facility, going through series of sadistic trials while being relentlessly mocked by said facility's owners.The series consists of three mods:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) Half-Quake, first released in 2001. Half-Quake: Amen, first released in 2002. Half-Quake: Sunrise, first released in 2010.If you're up for some serious punishment (or just hate yourself that much) and either way own the original Half-Life, you can get the mods there. The mod trilogy has also received an Updated Compilation Rerelease on Steam, combining all three installments into one package, which can be found here.

Half-Quake (Video Game) / int_1467a30c	comment	Unexpected Gameplay Change: The original has a few "jump and run" sections that suddenly switches from the first person perspective to a Survival Horror-esque cinematic perspective with you doing some platforming challenges in that sort of camera. Sunrise has a Tower Defense-like section and an Interactive Fiction-like section; quite a feat to pull that off in the GoldSrc engine.

Typically, you'd have to find a way to disable his shields before you can strike his weak point (Half-Quake), flip some more switches (Amen), or play a Cat and Mouse game with him involving destructible walls you'd have to lure him into shooting to escape through (Sunrise).
