Forget for a moment aboutdebating what happens to horror’s impactwhenever another player enters the scene. When you open a murkily lit doorway framing a pitch-black hallway seething with malevolent abominations of shadow, you’ll want someone close by to cling to…or a giant, stuffed teddy bear. TheBlack Snowmod for Half-Life 2 is sadly bear-less, but its new co-op mod-in-a-mod revisits the atmospheric creepiness with up to four players and up to four pairs of pants ready for wetting.
Piggybacking (with permission) on the originalsingle-player Black Snow, the co-op mod adds a few necessary communication binds such as a character, radio, and inventory key. You’re also equipped with a flashlight, since foraging for items in the dark sort of gets easier when you have a bit more light. That’s just me, though.
The objective in Black Snow’s co-op stays the same: gather items, solve puzzles, andfight bravelyrun away from Very Scary Things. As part of a response team sent into the eerily silent Amaluuk Research Station housed within the icy grip of Greenland, you need to figure out what happened, where everyone went, and oh my God what is that thing runrunRUN.
If you’re ready, head over toBlack Snow co-op’s websiteand give it a download. Be sure to grab your nearest teddy-friend for support.
