A talented Half-Life: Alyx player has created a mod for the game which transports Alyx to the dingy depths of BioShock’s Rapture on a unique mission. This has to be one of the coolest things you’ll see today.
Wim Buytaert recently created this mod, which is now available for free via the Steam Workshop (obviously you’ll first need the base Half-Life: Alyx VR game, though). It’s apparently pretty short unfortunately - only about half an hour long - but Buytaert has confirmed that a second level “and more” are on the horizon.
The game will feature iconic aspects of the first two BioShock games, from their soundtracks and audio diaries, to vending machines, and vita-chambers which act as save points. Buytaert also lent their own voice to the cause, which will act as a guide throughout the experience.
Judging by the screenshots we’ve seen, the atmosphere seems incredible. As different as these two game universes are in many ways, weaving them together like this promises a really interesting and unique experience. And the thought of visiting Rapture in VR? Yes please.
