Darg..and griddy make the black mesa great again

Awesome. You should create a whole campaign. Level design and atmosphere are just brutaly awesome

could this perchance... be used for NPC battles?

Nice puzzle map!

It was unusual, puzzles are always interesting

Verry Good, THX :-)

nice

Hi! Can i make a HECU Realism Expanded edit for your map?

Nice!

Oooh i love puzzles. almost gave up twice.

My favorite map that has no combat so far! The puzzles were logical but had me scratching my head for a minute and the ambiance/decoration and soundscape were amazingly immersive.

10/10!

looks good 10/10

Hello, I'm the lead developer of Black Mesa: H.E.C.U. and I was wondering if you wanted to help us out with our maps. We're a small team but we have a bit of an artistic learning curve and would really appreciate the opportunity to work together.

hello! Can I using this mod?

really great map! I got stuck on the electrical puzzle but it was cool overall

Reminds me so much of Resident Evil in a way. Love that

Great job, loved it. Atmospher, puzzles, music at right times....Good stuff

Mediocre. Map detail was fine. Puzzles were fine.

I like this map, bit too dark to see anything and the puzzles were a bit odd but otherwise I like it.

Very atmospheric 10/10

man this map is awesome dude!!!! I would really love if you made a full expanded version of this type of map concept. A long atmospheric trip, and i feel like you could build up to combat being incorporated. Would love if you continued something like this

idk what everyone else is smoking, this map sucks. Looks nice, but the puzzles aren't very fun and the text lines from the character are jaring and add nothing.

Just played this one! A few thoughts from me.

1. Loved the atmospheric lighting. - wish sometimes I had a light so I could make sure a corner/dead end was empty and not just dark.

2. Liked the puzzles a lot, the flare and barrel ones were favorites.

3. The one issue I had was the plug puzzle. I had the solution correct but did not see the door open so I thought I had it wrong. Spent longer here than any other puzzle, I wish there was a clearer indicator that I had solved it, either audible or visual. The small panel cannot be seen from most of the room. Traversal component of the puzzle was no problem.

A visual treat!

great little map, the atmosphere is fucking amazing

this is pure problem solving.
i got stuck a couple times, mainly cause i wasent expecting certain things
its really good map tho well done

Perhaps the single best map I've played on the source engine. Short and sweet!

What an exceptional map! I loved the beautifully rich environments, the subtle thoughts of the protagonist and the non-combative, logic driven gameplay. I'll always remember this one.

Crashes if I adjust the visual quality, but other than that it's pretty good.

Very Nice map; but I Cant'Jump to enter the first Airco Tunnel... :-(

Is there any shooting or is it only puzzles ?

Creative map! Some puzzles were hard to figure out the solutions but I like them

simplemente este departamento de Black Mesa es hasta creíble. Me encanto mucho el diseño y sobre todo el ambiente. Bravo!!! mi única queja... me dejo con ganas XD

Amazing map! Great puzzles, use of the environment, superb graphics, awesome audio (distant intercom). Would love to play more like this!

I only found the plug puzzle a bit far fetched.

Great map, loved the design and lighting.

I just suscribed, but cant play it yet. Please explain what to do next

The tram is invisible at the end for me.

It's not showing on menu, what's the map name?

So far your map is THE BEST I played yet. No stupid strafing and aming. You made an interesting adventure and a quest. Thanks a lot so much ☺☺☺

Loved it! I wish a bigger game like this could exist, wher you mainly explore and survive, without the need to be a supersoldier and heavy military component

enjoyed it as well. thank you
great atmosphere

Very nice, beautiful well crafted environments

I really liked this mod's design - particularly the lighting was just so well thought out. It was quite short though. Would love to see more from you.

I don't wanna be that guy but the download doesn't seem to work. It just starts and stops infinitely while saying it's "missing installed files". Other downloads seem to be fine, so I don't think the issue is on my end. Something to look into I think.

Update: Found a way to disable the hints. For anyone curious, I just unpacked the Escape from Black Mesa - Biotech.vpk with vpk.exe, then deleted the contents of materials\beefbacon\text, then repacked it back again with vpk.exe. Hints no longer display.

Is there a way to turn off the hint system?

@Desva "all the puzzles could only be solved once" I might be misreading this, but what do you mean and how is that a downside? Puzzles are meant to let you progress once solved.

personally id give it 1 out of 10 i had zero enjoyment playing this. everything was a chore rather than a challenge and all the puzzles could only be solved once, is a shame they chose it to be first.

Great Job! Congrats on the win.

Definitely had really good visuals!
But I don't think it followed the rules, and wouldn't say it wins 1st.

Some puzzles don't solve logically and there is nothing to prevent the player from getting stuck after using up the available resources.

When you try to blow up the three Barnacles by feeding them the lit up flare, it does nothing, resulting in disappointment. The solution to just throw the flare is okay, but feels unrewarding. The electric room was extremely tedious since there is no socket for the power cable to plug into and also no indicator, to show the player that the door has been unlocked by the current. Getting stuck there by moving the crates into deep water should be prevented as well.

The map manages to create a sense of vulnerability that is unfortunately completely missing in the original game. The gloomy atmosphere of failing systems, the spreading Xen infestation, the absence of weapons, and the lethal damage from missteps all contribute significantly to this. All in all, 3/5 stars, 5/5 if the above problems were to be fixed.
