Original Story:

SPOILERS!

Your name is Edward Fouler. You are a 34yr old that job was relocated as a Scientific Advisor for the Health and Research facility. You are a father with 2 Children.

After some work you discovered that the fluid that was used to heal wounds (medi stations / first aid stations) was extracted from living organisms. Research was done within the facility. They have experimented with Xen creatures to extract the vital fluid. After the resonance cascade the military took over and tried to scale things up. Having in field first aid stations was a key point in the defense of mankind. Only that there were not enough creatures available to fulfill the demand. So the military did what they had to do. They used humans to fill the gap between demand and supply. And it wasn’t “just” criminals or people that agreed to that. They put in everybody. Once you realized what they are doing you faced the issue not only you can land in one of these chambers but your children as well. Horrified from the situation you decide to sabotage the whole facility. Making an end to protect people to go in there.
By sabotaging every bit you were able to get the base into a near critical level. Everything was either overloaded or offline. Only the safety system were still in place which needed to be shut down. Bug in the control room, just moments when you wanted to flip the switch, a gaspipe bursts. Locking the room and getting you unconscious. But the safety system worked. Sucking the poisonous gas out of the room. You awake with amnesia. Now knowing what happened and without a clue what to do. In order to get more information you try to reestablish several systems in order to get everything functioning again. … until you rediscover what the military has done.

Will you release the lock down so the facility can work once more or will you fulfill your plan and destroy it for good.

I was able to play it, but honestly it's exasperating how dark some areas are, and you don't have a flashlight. I found a flashlight on a desk but like an usual item you can't give it direction nor move it freely

1. no errors/ broken textures. 2.nope, map won't load. 3. tried console but it says map either unavailable or non-loaded, even when I did downloaded it from steam and it CONFIRMED it was installed!? it's not you mate, it's the stupid port-2-port system that Crowbar indigently copied from OG Half-Life that was terrible on 1 year anniversary copied when they made this game. Successor games are supposed to remove or improve those system mistakes from the OG HF, not another d*ck ish clone!

@XsilverwaterX I need more info about it. Any errors? Does the game close? Can't you see the map? Just reinstalled the game, went to the Workshop and started it right up. If you have the console open you can also type "map lb_comp3_hlthfc" without "" to open the map directly.
