Times of Darkness is a single-player mod I created for Half-Life. It was released in September 2003. The mod can be played with either the original retail release or the original Steam version of Half-Life, provided the game is patched to version 1.1.1.0.

• New Maps
• New Monsters
• New Textures
• New Sound Effects
• Code Changes

Story
The events of Times of Darkness take place shortly after Gordon Freeman's return from Xen.

Bitter toward the government after learning they sent soldiers to eliminate everyone at Black Mesa - including him - Gordon soon discovers that new experiments with Xen are being conducted in another section of the Black Mesa complex.

Determined to put an end to these operations, Gordon sets out on a new mission. His battered HEV suit is beyond repair, and he'll need to fight his way through fortified laboratories to acquire a replacement. If he can endure the gauntlet of enemies and destroy the facility, he may succeed in halting the experiments once and for all... before it's too late.

Installation
Times of Darkness is distributed as an installer. When prompted, select your Half-Life installation folder.

For the Steam version, the default path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life

After installation, Times of Darkness should appear in your Steam library. If Steam was running during installation, restart it to refresh the list.

Intro Song from the Canceled Sequel: Times of Darkness 2
I began development on a sequel, Times of Darkness 2, but eventually canceled the project. However, I've decided to at least release the intro song I composed for it.

The track was created using Techno eJay 2, which I still own and can run to this day. I even preserved the original MIX file, the native project format. While it wasn't my very first composition, it stands out as one of the stronger tracks I produced at the time.
