The Half-Life series has so many dark elements. Stalkers, Jeff and Headcrab Zombies are just three. There was however one more element that has not been explored. The Children of Half-Life. In the retail version, The Combine Empire suppressed humanities ability to reproduce. The beta also had a darker tale.

What happened to the children of Half-Life in the retail version? How different was the beta? And how did the youngest resistance fighters, human Combine units and residents of the Combine cities become the last generation? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind the Children of Half-Life.
