Half-Life 2 becomes a loot-hoarding roguelike dungeon crawl in this Next Fest mod demo

A portal to a universe of alternate Half-Lives in SourceWorld.

It is the year 2025 and everything is a roguelite now. Even the games of yesteryear are getting randomizers and procedural generation shoehorned in, and Half-Life 2 isn't escaping either. Good thing that SourceWorld is pretty dang fun, if its newly released Next Fest demo is any indication.

It's a standalone total conversion for Half-Life 2 (you only need to have the original game in your Steam account) that casts you as a dimension-hopping impoverished hitman from a liberated timeline, hunting Combine remnants across time and space on a shoestring budget.
