Half-Life, stylized as HλLF-LIFE, is a science fiction first-person shooter developed and published by Valve. The player takes the perspective of the scientist Gordon Freeman who struggles to escape an underground research facility after a failed experiment causes a massive alien invasion through a dimensional rift. Designed initially for Microsoft Windows and later brought to other platforms such as PS2 and OS X, the game uses a considerably modified version of the Quake engine, called GoldSrc.[1][3]
The game is set during May 200- in a remote area of New Mexico, USA at the Black Mesa Research Facility; a fictional complex that bears many similarities to both the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Area 51.

Early in the morning, Dr. Gordon Freeman, a recent MIT graduate in theoretical physics, and also a recent employee at Black Mesa, arrives late at the Anomalous Materials lab to participate in an experiment that involves analyzing an alien crystal. After the test goes unexpectedly wrong, a catastrophic event called a Resonance Cascade occurs and causes massive dimensional rifts, opening a portal between Earth and Xen. Saved by his HEV Suit from the devastating chaos at ground zero, Gordon leaves the test chamber and is tasked with reaching the surface by Eli Vance and getting help. Soon, he finds out that the facility is infested with dangerous and hostile alien creatures. Arming himself, Gordon starts his journey to the surface.

As the situation escalates, Gordon finds himself caught between two opposing factions: the hostile aliens, and the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, a military force dispatched to cover up the incident — including eliminating Freeman and the rest of the Black Mesa Science Team. Throughout the game, a mysterious figure known as the G-Man regularly appears, apparently monitoring Freeman's progress with uncanny serenity. Gordon successfully launches a rocket meant to close the dimensional rifts. This stops the random teleportation of aliens, but also alerts them that their connection to Earth is limited, causing a full organized invasion by Xen.

Gordon fights his way through the facility and at one point even deals with the Black Ops assassins sent to eliminate all the scientists, aliens, and HECU marines. Gordon is ambushed by HECU marines just before reaching the surface and is left to die in a trash compactor. Luckily, Gordon escapes, and winds up fighting his way through the Biological Waste Processing Plant of Black Mesa and eventually comes upon a secret sector of the facility where he discovers that scientists had been "collecting" specimens from Xen since long before the incident occurred. Cooperating with surviving scientists and security officers, Gordon ultimately works his way to the mysterious Lambda Complex, where a team of scientists teleports him to the alien border world of Xen, where he must destroy the Nihilanth, the creature keeping Xen's side of the dimensional rift open.

After reaching the alien dimension and fighting hordes of different alien monsters, including the mother of all headcrabs, The Gonarch, Gordon manages to reach the portal that takes him to Nihilanth's chamber. After a challenging battle, the scientist gains the upper hand and finally destroys the creature. As the creature explodes, Gordon suddenly gets teleported.

Upon gaining his senses back, Gordon finally meets the mysterious G-Man that he has encountered multiple times throughout his journey in Black Mesa face to face. Speaking in a strange manner, the man says he is impressed by Gordon's deeds and his decisiveness. Claiming Xen to be under "their" control, G-Man comments that he has recommended Gordon's services to his employers, and that now he wishes to offer Gordon a job. Finally, G-Man gives Gordon an ultimatum: Accept his offer and be allowed to live, or refuse and be offered a battle he has "no chance of winning". After a brief moment, Gordon steps into the portal, thereby accepting the job.

Half-Life's plot was originally inspired by the computer games Doom and Quake (both produced by id Software), Stephen King's novella The Mist, and an episode of The Outer Limits called "The Borderland". Valve’s in-house writer and author, Marc Laidlaw, who wrote the books Dad's Nuke and The 37th Mandela, later developed and expanded the plot. However, the most distinctive aspect of the game is not the plot itself, but rather the way it is presented to the player.
The game tells the story by flowing into scripted sequences that are integrated as part of the game rather than as cutscene intermissions. These sequences range from the introduction of major plot
